dont give them ideas please.Or how about a system where you pay less to get into the park, but have to pay for tickets to ride the rides. They could price the tickets so that the more popular rides are more expensive. This would be revolutionary!
perhaps they use the magicbands to know who got what?
I look at this as similar to some of the veteran contract rules in the NBA, it's a way to protect Disney guests from themselves. The guest chooses to enter the 3-5 hour line, but that same guest isn't particularly satisfied. Even though they should share in the blame (They chose to get in the line), their review on the day would be less favorable than someone who didn't wait in the line.
by moving a kiosk/souvenir kart into the waiting line?
Did not know that. Thanks. Well then I'm all out of ideas. I don't see the harm in having a similar duplicate meet and greet in Epcot, DHS, or even Animal Kingdom. We used to see multiple Santa Claus's when I was a kid, and half the people I know would tell you I turned out OK.
Actually they could do both - and it would keep the line moving.
Thankfully she isn't as Frozen crazy as everyone else but she will probably want to meet them at some point during our trip. It shouldn't be this hard, or stressful.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, one line for grown-ups with little kids who believe and one line for the grown-ups who know they are meeting dressed up grown-ups. (Actually I'd do away with the solely grown-ups line but I don't want to get totally flamed
That's longer than day of Fastpasses would have lasted. You're drawing from a larger pool (the standby line).
Obviously you're doing something wrong...All this FP+ stuff gives me a headache. I know I need to stay up to date, but I'm also trying to keep in mind that it will probably change again before our trip in November. My daughter will be 4 and my biggest fear is that after I put in hours of research, planning, and booking of FP+, she wakes up every morning and changes her mind about what we should be doing that day
What this accomplishes is it stops them from having a long line that they have to cut off. It likely saves them on operations because they won't have to staff it as long. Additionally, it probably increased demand because people can now get a return time for 30 minutes or less instead of waiting 3-5 hours. No doubt the 3-5 hour wait deterred many people.
followed by "Have a magical day!"
I too think this will be helpful for the people who get a ticket. But I don't like the idea of there being something in the park that you are not allowed to ride if you want. Especially because the article said they are going to try this with Soarin. I understand that the old FP ran out, and that FP+ run out. But you always had the choice of well I will stand in the line for 1, 2, or 3 hours because I really want to ride this.
