So, after realizing about a year ago that FP+ was going to ruin WDW vacations, and in spite of the many who "love the flexibility of only getting 3 rides, but they can sleep in", I had my first encounter with this abomination today.
First up, even with my MNSSHP tix in the system, and set up, the site gave no indication that I would actually be able to choose FP+ today. It just allowed it at midnight. My wife said there was no Dwarf Hill or Belle FP+ available then, big surprise, so she didn't get anything.
I get on today to try and at least get SOMETHING. So, I get HM for all of us, Then Splash Mountain, then Big thunder. Even though I know my son and I will ride Splash late, and BTMRR too.
Later, I think "hmmm, I wonder if individual FP+ are available for DH or Belle". Sure enough, some are, so I get 2 overlapping FP+ for Belle, but not a third. it's hours before. That's fairly worthless, unless we can scam in the third, which is unlikely.
Then I realize how horrible the site is. I can change the time of an FP+, or look for another FP+ with THOSE EXACT SAME TIMES ONLY! WTH? Why on Earth can I not see everything that's available, and choose something new?
So, I see you can cancel on FP+. So, I cancel one of the Splash Mountains, since my wife will most likely not ride it anyway. Well, HEY! You can't reschedule that 3rd FP after you cancel it, it's just GONE!
ARE YOU FRICKIN' KIDDING ME!
What an absolute piece of garbage system.
And 30 days out, in early October, availability is slim. This morning there was some stuff, but not, at noon, everything worth having after about 2 is gone. Remember all the delusional people who said everything would be great except for Spring Break and Summer?
So, essentially, unless you are staying on Disney property, FP+ is fairly worthless.
Disney World, I've visited you probably 25 vacations, for well over 100 days of my life, all using regular tickets, not season passes. Add another 100 days for my wife and son. However, you won't be getting another normal day entry ticket from me any time soon. It will probably take Star Wars to get me back at this point. And that will be ONE day.
You have made visiting your park way too complicated, and have so severely lowered the value of the visit, I'm not will to spend the money. And I'm hardly someone who is on a tight budget.
I hope MNSSHP will be fun, as it always has been. But when it's over, we will retreat to Universal, where they treat guests properly.
