Umm, those aren't exactly hard to get..... Not sure why people would buy those when they can get better rides by pre-planning...

If I were to guess, the addition of alcohol at table service meals as part of the dining plan is influencing this move. I don't anticipate we'll see alcohol outside of the TS restaurants at the MK...but I could be wrong!

BREAKING: Disneyland Adding FastPass, MaxPass to Pirates of the Caribbean When It Returns

I do remember lines for this attraction being insane. However, I don't Maxpass/fastpass has ever 'helped' lines as the article suggests.

Yeah I don't think FP has ever made a standby line shorter.

Yeah I don't think FP has ever made a standby line shorter.

Well, I think the point is that while the wait times won't be shorter, the number of people in line might be shorter. With FP they often put 80% of the people through the FP queue, so if the old line had 2000 people in Standby waiting 60 minutes, the new line might have 600 people in standby waiting 90 minutes.

Pirates has the problem that the queue often overflows out into the park quite signifcantly - and this might alleviate that.

It's also a pretty poor location to have that overflow if I remember it correctly.

Yeah...Lake George is kinda like the "Chester & Hester's" of upstate NY.

The DIS believes the permits today are in relation to the airstrip on Disney property which is nearby. I have a hard time believing that and that this is more in relation to Project 89 as told by @DanBoris

As a pilot I hope hope this is a reopening of the STOLstrip. I am sure it’s not but I can dream! At least that is what Disney keeps saying lol
