Not arguing with you, but I think this is pathetic. I see people sitting in restaurants across from another person but their face is buried in a phone. I see people texting while they're driving. I see people sitting on park benches while their kids are playing on swing sets and their buried in their phone.
There wss always at least one CM in each FastPass distrbution area - not necessarily each individual dispenser, but always a CM around to assist.
Disney is always there. The learning is perpetual for each new guest due to the nature of the business, but returning guests shouldn't need any educating.
Yes there are a lot of new visitors daily, but personally if I don't use a software program fairly often I forget a lot. So I wonder if a family who visits the park infrequently will remember how FP+ works.
2pm in the afternoon on a "4" day at HS:
This was pretty normal. That line feeds several kiosks and possibly additional CMs with tablets.
You know Lake, you've showed this picture in pretty much every thread that mentions FP+... In this case a thread about someone asking if they can also get FP- or just FP+.
I don't understand why you post it. Are you trying to say lines are long? Or short? There are by my count, 7 or 8 families in line there.
That was pretty typical for the lines that had people, and took about 5 minutes, And most were even shorter.

EXACTLY!! One CM per distribution area vs. one employee per machine, (plus more with i-Pads). So which system requires more tutorials? Which system is confusing people more? Which system is more difficult to use? The questions answer themselves. As I said before, one can debate many things about FP-/FP+, but this point is absolutely not debatable.
And there you have it! No need to run around the park. See where this discussion goes? First, it was, "you have to run all over the park". Then it is "OK. There were time boards, but not as many as I would have liked." Well? Which is it. None, or some?
The powers of observation are quite powerful, Grasshopper. To snatch the marble from my hand, one must first observe.
Documented? Or stated with hyperbolic screeching. How could I have been a super-user of FP- for over 100+ days during its existence and never run around the park, when it is "documented" that this was the pathway to success? How could my siblings, one of whom worked at WDW for 12 years, have been FP- experts without ever having done this? I am not so full of myself as to think that I am "extra special" and was able to beat the system in a way that no one else was able to accomplish. Running around for Fast Passes? No. Not the norm. At worst it was: "I'll give you my lunch order for Cosmic Ray's, and while you are in line for the food, I will WALK over to Space Mountain and grab some Fast Passes for later today. I will meet you at the table if you beat me, or join you in line if I beat you." I will readily admit to doing this. Daily. But I will not budge an inch on the "run all over the park" hysteria. Never did it. Never witnessed it.
Yeah, Disney is snapping up the best and brightest minds from MIT and RPI for those jobs!
Drink!
