Good. I support FP+.

 

[delyrium]

That right there is a lot of exclamation points.

 

[maxiesmom]

The whole system is changing, they are not shutting the current machines down because they are immoral.



Count me as another one who has actually used the new system, and likes it.

Next step in eliminating the immoral double and triple dippers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, it's the last step.

Just for good measure, I'll throw in "yeah, you immoral double and triple dippers, take that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Not that I believe double/triple dippers are immoral.

 

[jiminyfan]

of really long stand by lines.

Woahhh there buddy. Take a breather before you spend all those exclamation points in one place.

Looks like this will be a place with some good old fashioned problems.

I'll be over here.

I was a double, triple, and quadruple dipper. Go ahead and lock me up, it was worth it.

of really long stand by lines.

Not during low crowd days or at RD (during which you could always ride most popular attractions sometimes multiple times, still same now without FP-)

Visiting during peak crowds and used to drawing 3+ FP a day and riding most popular attractions over and over again: Yes start waiting in lines beyond 3 FP+

Maybe when the smoke clears. But I went in October and experienced fairly long lines for attractions that normally would have had 5-10 minute waits. I also saw standby lines build more quickly than I normally noticed. I am glad that this system was not in place when my kids were young. Those were golden days of freedom - we could actually decide what rides we wanted to fp based on where we were in the park, which rides actually needed fp's, what we were in the mood for, etc. And we could actually hop and still pull fp's. Its a more restrictive system for us.

I'm going down with my sister next month and it won't matter much at all. We don't need to ride every ride, so choosing a few fp's now is somewhat convenient for us. But I will miss the freedom of the good old days when I go back with my family.

!!!!!!!!

and also, too

!!!!!!!!!!

but yes, we will see how this really affects crowds over the next sort of "high pop" time, MLK holiday weekend...

for good measure

I only double-dipped, so do I get a lighter sentence?

You remind me of Mario Savio!

Aww man. What about those of us who were NOT going to double or triple dip and are just disappointed that we were so close to things being their old magical self? Three FP for MK. We only have one day there, so that's all we will get for that park period. Still only mostly sure we are DLR people from now on, but also not holding my breath that the lines aren't going to be awful next week.

The issue with October 2013 higher then expected crowds and lines has been the source of much debate - whether it was impacted by the testing of FP+ or simply larger crowds. Also MK is much different in terms of its spreading of people among rides then compared to Epot (with Soarin' and TT) and DS (and TSM), many more popular rides and choices in MK to redistribute crowds not using FP+. I still believe that visiting off season and/or using RD will continue to provide benefits to experience multiple rides especially in MK.

Real test of this will come soon with Spring Break weeks and impacts

But don't you know that the new system is all things magical and perfect?!?!? And anyone who thinks it's less than that will be thrown in the gloomanddoomers/immoraldoubledippers/fpsuperusers jail that the fine, upstanding citizens of the Dis have created.
