If THESE are the reasons that you won't visit Disney World, then I think your have your vacationing priorities wrong to being with.
Not me... I will still be going and with all the people who are saying 'I am not going to Disney anymore becuase of FP+' it should be less crowded.
Even though every other post that is not about FP+ on this board seems to be about now much more crowded it is that in the past.
I'm not done with Disney, but I feel your pain. Those are so many changes to adapt to at once....that has been my frustration. We became experts at using off-season rope drop touring along with strategic FP- gathering to lessen DD's need to use the GAC. We tested the FP+ along with the GAC earlier this year and it was not as successful; DD ended up needing the GAC more than any previous trip. When we figure in the DAS system changes along with the FP+ in its current version (only 3 attractions, must be 3 different attractions, must be in same park)...... Just typing it out is mind-numbing. The mental gymnastics required to make this work makes me long for those planning days when I didn't have all these variables to consider.
I envision you getting a lot of flaming and patronizing responses. Just wanted you to know I can relate to your feelings of frustration.
See ya. One less person in the crowd I'll have to deal with.

Pointless thread.

Our reasons for a vacation are to get away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and all the planning involved on a daily basis. Now we have to plan our attractions and ADR's even more-and make sure we don't forget to cancel ADRs far enough in advance to avoid a CC charge. Our vacation priorites are not wrong.
Between FP+, not being able to get FP- for at decent times unless there before RD, the changes to GAC/DAS, and the new upcoming ADR CC policy, I really think no more visits to WDW. No longer a vacation. Anybody else feel the same?
What it boils down to is a place like WDW has to set themselves up for the benefit of the most people, not just a few. If people had been a little more ethical instead of greedy, the CC's charges would never have had to be instituted. However, all that said, the only way to experience Disney now is under the new rules. You have always had the option of not finding it worthwhile and there are many, many things to do in the world other then Disney.
- crowds. Last two weeks of August is our usual timing. It has gone from really pleasant and empty to extremely crowded. crowds too high.
