No more Stanby line for A&E?

[Mad Hattered]

In this case I find this facepalm more appropriate...

I read the official Disney posting and it said for folks with out FP.


Wonder if they scan your Band to see if you have FP?

We have FP but if we could get these at a better time then I would do it.

I was hoping that I'd get here tonight and find out that this was all just a bad joke. But no, I see that people will still have to wait in line to get a ticket to wait in line.

You guys talk a lot! I might have missed it but is there any sign that Disney will be doing this at other rides?

Nothing other than the site that posted this was about to happen. But then again, not one other site saw this one coming.

You can take it for it's worth, but I did see mention of another ride in MK taking this approach and CMS had been trained on how to handle it. It's pretty obvious what that is. If all these people aren't in line for A & E, and taken out of the pool, what will that do to the other attractions (not necessarily headliners)? Surely people don't pay admission to shop...do they?

Snorin' and TT would be the icing on the cake.

Exactly. By limiting the amount of people lining up it is going to certainly increase the lines at the other rides around magic kingdom. Better a&e wait but worse everywhere else. Your right, I don't think all those waiting people will spend their time eating and shopping.

Does anyone know what time the last printed return time passes where given out for today? I'm just curious what time I would have to get there for one.

Someone posted pages ago around 2:00p or 2:30p. Expect that time to move earlier in the day the longer this goes.

Would love to hear from someone who actually did this to see if they scanned your band in order to 1. See if you already had a FP+ for it (in which case did they still give the paper one or not allow it) 2. If the paper ones already given out appear to the cm scanning the bands in order to stop people from circling around and getting 2 passes (or more). 3. Or is it just a free for all and someone is just standing there handing out passes to people in line for one and not checking anything.

I saw a Facebook group post saying someone got a 3:30-4:00 at 9:15am.

If that's true, that is frigging ridiculous. I'd almost rather get in line at 9am and wait 90-120 minutes and be done with this by 11. 2:30 is nap time. I detest being in the parks at 3:30. Ugh. Sorry to be whining. There is just no good way to do this. Maybe my kid will forget Elsa is at MK. Fingers crossed.

That sounds just like TSMM back in the day.

Glad I have my fastpass plus all set for the last day of my trip.

No matter what Disney does, or how they handle these sorts of things, someone is not going to be happy.

I just like to know the rules, going in.

 

[Ellwood970]

No, never said that, never insinuated that. Never said Disney is never at fault. They are far from perfect. But when it comes to FP+ and on site guests those people do have the opportunity to know what's up. I said that Disney does send multiple mailings to their on site guests telling them all there is to know about FP+ and that those people have no excuse for not knowing about it before they walk through the gates. Disney can not force people to read. All they can do is sent it out. What more do you want them to do?

I I know you didn't but I think we forget that we who stay onsite are only a percentage of guests. People who show up at the gate and pay premium prices to get in are at a disadvantage how are they to know about pre selection of fastpasses which they cant select anyway.

Keep in mind...those are subject to change at any given time without any notice whatsoever.

This just made me laugh out loud. For real, not just as in LOL, haha

So very true.

Isn't that printed in fine print somewhere on the Disney Ticket that I never actually get to hold in my hands, anymore?

It is and online as well. You can still choose to have ticket media printed and sent to you. We still get the plastic tickets from Disney. Of course we don't book as a package.

 

[KimBean]

Nope, they're routinely booked at 12:01am on your 60 day already by people who's 60 day opened earlier the same week. This whole thing is a mess, it's been brought up many times in this thread, but there are thousands of struggling actresses in the US. Surely there are two out there who can be deemed A&E worthy for a different M&G spot.

Off topic sorta...
So probably my only prayer is my last day... Will be there 10 days so my last day will only be competing with other people who are starting same day as me and staying 10 days right?

 

[barbaraann]

Personally, I don't understand how people can spend hundreds of dollars on themepark tickets, and not research the place that they are visiting. Granted things change from day to day, but knowledge is a good thing. Going in blind, is not something that I would ever do.

Just like "non-transferable" was printed on the back of legacy FP. If I find out Dad is using baby Jake's MB to ride Splash Mountain then I can't be held responsible for my actions here.
