Which aspect of FP+ are you most bothered by

[Masonmj84]

Least favorite aspect of FP+

 

[AmyB2006]

For me, the tiers. That's the worst.

 

[morethananyonex]

In theory: Tiers & limit of 3 in MK

In practice: Being limited to 1 park

We ended up finding that the tiers were not a huge deal for us. The FP lines for TT and Soarin' take so long that it was much more appealing for us to do single rider for TT instead of waiting for both. Riding RnRC with a low wait was easy during the first hour or so the park was open because of our time of year. We were also helped by our ability to use rider swap and our whole party not wanting to ride. The MK limits didn't bother us as much as we thought because we went at a slow-ish period and were staying at a monorail resort so we didn't spend full days there.

Being limited to 1 park ended up being very frustrating. We found that we barely used our hoppers because of this and will likely be dropping them next trip. When we did use them, it was just to walk around a park, ride unpopular attractions and maybe see a nighttime show.

Great question. Having not gone to Disney during this phase, I can only go by what I've read. I'm usually one of those people that reads reviews, whether for movies, etc and figure I'd see for myself what the fuss is all about. However, this "movie" called a WDW vacation costs me and my family around $5000.00. The one thing that bothers me the most is the park hopping restrictions with regard to FP's. My family and I have been there enough that we have a routine of sorts; but that routine involves spontaneity and spur of the moment decisions. We LOVE that! Lunch at DTD, let's do Big Thunder Mtn at MK and then monorail it over to EPCOT and have dinner, maybe FP a ride there, and watch the fireworks. Some people may think we're nuts but that's our "thing" when we go to WDW. I've mentioned it in other posts, getting up for rope drop just to ride one of our faves feels too much like work.

I start planning our WDW trips in January and usually have a reservation by first week in Feb. Well, that hasn't happened this year and we were actually looking at the Universal website last night - we've never been there so this might be a good time. A Dude Ranch or a cruise are other options. It's my sons high school graduation trip and he'd love nothing more than to go to WDW right before freshman year of college but as of right now, we don't think that's going to happen.

Sorry if I went on a little rant there.

Having to wait till 60 days out. I want to play w them now!!

The other stuff really doesn't bother me too much.

You should have an option of nothing it is perfect the way it is. Not that I would pick it, but I think some here would.

I chose tiering. It was the one thing that was not in our November trip, and FP+ was manageable otherwise. BUT I did still like FP- better.

It depends on which park I'm going to:

Magic Kingdom: The limit of 3 per day. That's way too low. It needs to be 5 for Magic Kingdom.

Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios: Tiering. I'd be fine with the limit of 3 FP+ at each of these parks if tiering were eliminated.

Animal Kingdom: No issues. 3 FP+ is fine for this park, and there is no tiering.

 

[JennaDeeDooDah]

I was going to go with the limit of only 3 per day, but then I thought about how that's really only the case at Magic Kingdom. At Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom, there aren't 3 different rides I would fast pass. Therefore, I voted for not being able to use more than one per ride.

I say tiering, but the 3 limit and inability to do the same thing twice are also bad. I do like the FP+ ssytem, but there are problems. Honeslty, the tiering problem isn't so much an issue with FP+ as it is an issue with attraction capacity at the parks with tiering. That's why MK doesn't have tiers. One additional headliner each at Epcot and DHS and they could probably lose the tiers.

I chose other. Only because the worst part is having to sort through tons of threads about how much people hate FP+ on this board.

Can we please get a FP+ sub forum here?

My exact answer for why I said "other"!!! FP+ worked very well for us, and when I post that, the response is "we must not be using it right!"

Trip #4 for us next week with it!!

If one person in my group schedules a ride, are we all then scheduled to ride the same attraction? Son-in-law loves TOT. Me? Forget it! So would my FP+ be wasted on something that I can't ride?

You can have different selections for each person in your group.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

We only tried if with MK. So for us, the limit of 3 "bothered"'us. But the term is too strong. We weren't bothered. We did everything we wanted that day. I thought my tall people missed out on BTMR due to their choice do played sorceror's. But they apparently road it twice before closing.

So for us, the negative was the limit, but it did not negatively impact our experience.

 

[cleverclovers]

Thank you!

1. Tiering
2. Only 3 in MK

No. You can book each person's separately or change one person's FP to something else.

I chose the limit of 3, even though that is an issue only at MK. We can ride Test Track at rope drop and use single rider for RnRc (until one of the kids decides to ride), but I used to get so many more at MK. I am forced to choose between attractions that different family members like so we can stay together as a family.

Edited to erase double post. Apparently, when my computer froze, my message still posted.

Having now been to WDW twice using MB and FP+ (December and January/marathon weekend) both of which were relatively busy weekends, I can honestly say that there was nothing that bothered me about FP+. We never used FP- and even used FP+ on the day of, as we had not originally intended on doing a park on our departure day, and then decided at 8:00 am to head to the Studios. Got FP+ for AM rides to the attractions we wanted.

You need a selection that says "All of the above."
