As someone who hasn't used FP+ yet (leaving tomorrow!!), I have no "official" opinion on the system yet. All I know, is that my family hardly ever pulled FP's, and we're able to travel at lower peak times since we live in FL, so the new system seems like it'll work for us. I totally sympathize with those that live out of state and spend thousands of dollars and don't have the luxury of traveling when crowds will be lower. It has to suck. As far as the tiers, I'm not particularly fond of them either, but I get WHY it has to be done. I will gladly report back (both positive and negative) after my trip.
