The WDW 'WHY?!?!?' Thread

[DisneyKidds]

Simple concept....just ask the WDW question that confounds you the most, like so:

WHY............

Would someone use a FP+ for BTMRR at 9:00am on a non-Extra Magic Happy Hour morning?!?!?!?!?

Really, this morning we rode three times between 9am and 9:30. Sure, 7DMT (which had a 60 minute wait 9:05), or A&E (which had a 90 minute wait at 9:05) I get......but any other ride.....a 9am FP+ is a waste!

Disney vets know this but people on a first visit to WDW have no clue.

Maybe its all they can get?

How on earth was 7DMT at 60 minutes 5 minutes after anyone could even get into the park?! That is a LOT of runners!

Last November I used 3 FP+ in Animal Kingdom between 9am and 12 noon. Why? I had a flight to catch at 2 pm! I felt a little silly using it at 9 for the safari, but hey, they give me 3 and that was one attraction I wanted to be sure I got to experience.

So, last morning of last day before heading home is one reason to use FP+ early in the day.

Ugh I can't narrow it down to one so I guess I would ask:

Why is ALL of DTD under construction for Disney Springs I mean I know that means it could all be done at the same time but from recent excursions to the place you feel like your trapped in some crazy construction foremans maze. So basically why wasn't it done in sections?

Another that is probably more personal for me would be why aren't there more incentives for your AP holders especially the locals to want to actually come and stay in our resorts, or dine on the plan, or get actually useful discounts like SW does with ALL food and beverage

I'm using all of my FP+ in the morning so I can be out of the park by 1pm relaxing poolside! Then in the evening hop to another park and pick up FP 4 or maybe 5.

Because they are trying to use all three FP as early as possible, in the hopes of getting more later (and perhaps arrive at another park ready to book a fourth, if they are hopping).

Of all the possible WHYs, this one isn't very WHY to me.

Exactly!!

Are people still trying to adjust times of future FP+ once they have scanned their band for the one before?

If you make a 9-10 reservation and you enter at 9 am, can you move your 10-11 up to 9:30 - 10:30 still?

Another possibility…Early might be appealing for families with kids. So maybe schedule their 3 in the morning, have lunch, do a few more things, maybe try to get a 4th, see the parade, head out and swim or do other stuff the rest of the day.

Even if you get one from 9-10, you can still try to do other rides before you show up for your FP appointment.

On the other hand, I think even those people prefer to start from 930 the earliest, but if it's between a 9-10 or a 4-5 when you know you won't be in the park anymore, you will take the 9-10 timeslot.

There is a difference between scheduling them at 9 am and using them at 9 am.

Even if you schedule it from 9-10, you don't have to use it at 9 am.

I use a 9am FP with no intention I using at DHS, just to get them out of the way early so I can try to book another Tier 1 ride. Innovation!

So I guess my why is tiering.

Did you adjust the times of your 2nd or third FP+ while in line for your first FP+ attraction?

Even with a 9-10, 10-11 and 11-12 booked, you will likely not make it to a kiosk until maybe 11:15. What tier 1 attractions at Hollywood Studios where you really need a FP+ have been available lately?

 

[Land Shark]

Wow, how quickly this turned into just another FP+ thread!

 

[BrianL]

Let's get 'er back on track:

WHY do people only line up on one side of a QS register?

and related...

WHY do they only use one side of the tap points at the park entrance or FP line?

"Both sides are open!" is my WDW mantra!

 

[jhaig]

WHY - doesn't Disney plow under half of HS and replace it with Star Wars?

 

[LSUfan4444]

Why doesn't Disney have toll free 1-800/1-888 phone numbers?

 

[amg35]

Here's my why - it's a personal opinion, so relax - but why do people waste fast passes on seating for parades or fireworks?

Seems like such a waste to me.

 

[Land Shark]

Why doesn't Disney make use of the empty Future World attractions in EPCOT?
