Would You Buy FastPass?

[Arsenal1982]

If Disney decided to sell a booklet of let's say 5 fastpasses per day:

1) Would you buy it?

2) How much would you pay for it?

There are no limitations. You can use each pass in any park you want, at whatever time you want. You want to use your pass for Splash but little Johnny wants to use his for Dumbo, great. Go ahead.

Hmmmm I would add it to my AP for an extra $50 per year, if I were in my 20s-30s, at 45, heck no. What never made me sick two decades ago now makes me feel sick and makes my back hurt. At 45, if the FP were unlimited then yes, I would pay the $50...but that is not the question you asked.

With no limitations, they would have to charge a lot, otherwise they would have capacity issues.

$35 would be my limit. I think they could probably sell them for a lot more and people would pay whatever they charged especially if it meant they could use them all on a really popular ride like Toy Story Mania.

I would buy as long as offsite didn't get them. You should get perks for staying onsite and FP should be one of those in my opinion even if you have to pay a small fee. Annual pass holders should also be allowed to use them though. I've said it 20 times, the Qbot system is basically that. You pay for it. You pick one attraction and once you scan in for that ride you pick the next attraction. Works like a charm at Dollywood. I don't think anything will please most FP+ haters because they would loose the advantage FP gave you and a lot of that advantage was never meant to be. Disney was trying to fix the situation to make it more fair for all and a lot (not all) are just having trouble letting go.

Nope.

We're dvc members that have usually have at least 10-15 days a year at WDW (one year was 40 days). As much as we love the rides, we know if things are too busy there will be another trip.

Now, my position might change when the 7dmt opens. We were at WDW when TSMM just opened and I probably would have paid maybe 20 or 30 bucks to get that book of 5 Fps.

Disney would really have to make it worth my wallet and get rid of some of these "new" rules and drop the tier system, otherwise, I don't think. especially if I was staying on-site.

Nope.

Nope. I couldn't be enticed to pay for a feature that was previously free.

I'd prefer they'd go back to the old system, but since it won't I would buy them. I'm not sure how much...for 5 for each of us @$50 per person per day(5 in my family) I would pay at MK, not sure about the other parks. I don't think it is worth it. I rarely go to a park and don't purchase this option. Unless we get there and it isn't crowded. Even six flags we go during a time when it is rented out by a and it is closed to the public vs going with the masses. I am not a fan of lines and will pay to avoid them.

I would pay 100 dollars each for them, as long as the number available is limited. If everyone has them, it makes the FP lines as long as the standbys. What I would really like (and would pay major bucks for) is a length of stay fastpass. Let's face it, at the theme parks time is money anyway.

enticing... but US only charges $45 max for its' express pass that lets you fp every line. That's a lot more than 5 rides and it covers both parks, but we still feel like it's too much too pay unless you absolutely can't ride without it (which has yet to happen for us).

So for 5 fp's, I might pay $10 during peak season, less during slow times. But I'm a resort guest -- I shouldn't have to pay extra. I wouldn't if I were staying at US because the express pass is included with the resort reservations.

Seriously, if it ever got to that point we'd obviously go somewhere else. We're not so in love with WDW that we'd be willing to throw our money away -- there has to be a reasonable value for what you're buying.

Cedar point charges something like $90 for their system of fastpass. I think that's too much but people do it. I think it's also limited per day and will sell out to prevent too many people from using it. You can ride anything as much as you'd like with it. If you want to ride something major ten times a day, ok, but your going to pay for it.

I doubt disney does something that extreme as cedar point has more rides in the park than disney parks have. However it would not surprise me if they made you pay more than three fastpasses.

As for me I wouldn't three is enough. But just for the sake of the question, if I got unlimited fastpasses to anything I would be willing to pay about 30 extra for it at Hollywood studios. I love rnr, tot, and tsm and it'd be worth a little more per ticket for ride multiple times. I love test track at epcot but not soarin so I wouldn't pay extra there. MK has a lot of rides but nothing to me worth paying extra to make sure I rode multiple times. As long as they kept it limited and it made it worth it and you were able to get on the big rides multiple times I think they could get away with it.

I don't know if it is fair to say that most FP+ haters would not be pleased with anything because we lost the advantage of the legacy passes. I know many friends who used the legacy passes the way it was intended. You pull one, and while waiting for the return time, do something else. Return to the ride at the designated time and pull your next pass when Disney stated you could; usually hourly except for TSM. If one chose to ride the same ride, so be it, as long as the pass was available. These passes were for all guests to utilize. If this "advantage" was never meant to be, then that would be on Disney for setting the system up this way, not the guests using the fast passes.

I do like what you describe about the Qbot in that you pick one attraction, scan in for the ride and then get another. I am guessing that this is equivalent to a fast pass line vs the standby line. I don't think that those staying onsite should pay for this but the idea sounds good. Why not write to Disney suggest this idea?

Universal express costs at least $45 and let you FP every line officially 1 time (harry potter and flyers excluded). But it varies based on season. During Easter and Christmas/New years It's $90.
