Where did you read that? That's a ridiculously low number.
The temporary tourist made that observation in her thread about A&E testing standby+ for three days. Since she was right about that - and got the scoop on it - people are taking that as fact, too. There is no confirmation or clarification on that. Nevertheless, that figure is being repeated all over the Disney webisphere.
The number, to me, is problematic. FP are normally issued in increments of ten minutes. In any hour, there is a rolling block of 6 FP periods. Is that 1.5 per period? Not likely. 9 per each overlapping 1 hour period? That's more likely, but that's 54 FP per rolling hour. (9 x 6 10 min increment hour return times.)
54 FP per rolling hour makes more sense. Let's assume that each FP holder spends 1 minute with the sisters (the average meet is longer but on average has mult FP holders per meet. For example, a single user might take 1.5 minutes and 4 at a time might take 3 minutes, but the average should be less than a 1.5 minute per person). Two groups of sitters meeting at the same time could handle say 120 people an hour. That would yield a FP/standby ratio of 55%/45%, and those numbers seem about right.
Still, in a 10 hour park day (9-7 during
MNSSHP and
MVMCP), that's only 540 FP per day (only 90/day if the original data is accurate). Either way, with probably well over 1,000 looking for FP each morning at midnight at the start of their window, some people are going to be left out, and not a small number.
