I hope they get HUGE backlash from the people visiting this week who are blindsided by this. I do feel bad for the poor CMs who are working at the ride dealing with this nonsensical decision made by some idiot higher up, though. But the only way this won't stick around is if the people speak up...and loudly!!

My poor DD is a CM at Toy Story and today her job is to tell people they can't get in line. I can't wait to hear from her tonight to see how badly it went.

It should be management that is standing there. Hope people understand and are not harsh to her.
If there is no standby line at all...and especially if this were to become permanent, what happens to the extra capacity due to no-shows? We have annual passes and because of FP+, I typically have FP+ booked for popular attractions for as many weekends out as it will let me if there's even a 1% chance I might be at the parks. Usually that gets me close to a months worth of weekends. I know many other passholders who now do the same thing. Often we'll only go once in a month which leaves 7 days of unused FP+ reservations. I can't imagine they have an easy way to add these back into the system.
Anyway, whole thing no standby thing is just stupid. I pulled 5 FP+ reservation to TSMM this morning and I have to work all day...just felt like messing with their silly test. Will probably do so each day this week and perhaps recruit some help as well to make this test as unsuccessful as possible for WDW.
FastPass+ Distribution Has Ended for Selected Day
I'm sure Guest Relations will be some serious competition for "worst job" today.Totally agree! Sounds like MichelleWV's daughter has the worst job in Disney today.![]()
It is now 12:15 p.m. and this is what pops up on the FP+ selection screen:

I have a day planned that we are going shopping, but have FP+ just in case. I was going to cancel them. Then I thought no, how will they ever fix the system if I do the work for them. Disney needs to study the data (no shows and such) to effectively make it work better.

What I wonder is if you had a TSM FP+ pre-booked, could you go to a kiosk this morning and get another one as a 4th.
Looking at the 4 theme parks, Magic Kingdom was built as a ride park. EPCOT Future World was built as an all "omnimover" E-Ticket Animatronic ride/ and show park. Disney MGM Studios was built as a show park with a couple of rides as was Disney's Animal Kingdom.

Those 5 guests (will be 11 tomorrow so far) who can't ride will hopefully result in complaints at guest services which will help derail this stupid idea before it becomes permanent or spreads to other attractions.Really, that's pretty childish, don't you think? I could do the same thing as an AP holder, but not sure what the point is.
The only ones you're costing are guests currently in the park who are affected enough by Disney's little test. Your piddly 5 fp's won't make a bit of difference in test results, but it's 5 guests who are in the park who could've ridden had you not decided to waste them just for your own weird sense of fun.
