Don't underestimate the time (and cost) of having sit down lunch and dinner each day, will depend a lot on your kids meal habits, how much they eat, could be that snacks (brought with you into park) during day may be just as filling and save time and money. For a five day trip lunches and...

yep by using the FP system.. issue of interest now is what happens if FP never returns.....

Depending what time of year you go (size of crowds) I do not see now one would get 4-5 E-ticket attractions without much of wait (unless you are taking advantage of EMH or late hours). I can use FP+ plus EMH and easy get those 4-5 in the morning with no waits- have no idea how that would be...

this is exactly same for us-maximize time in parks, use FP and early entry/late hours to get to experience attractions we enjoy the most without wasting hours in lines. Our visits are 4-5 days and typically 2-3 yrs apart, so we strategize to make sure we see and do our top attractions, shows...

"It seemed to help the first timers but hurt those with any experience" Thats weird as almost every criticism I have read about FP+ is that first timers who never used the system, unaware of pre-booking are the ones at great disadvantage as those with previous WDW visits know the system and need...

in past we have brought cereal with spoons and bowls, bought milk from food court

yep but in coming months will quickly spread to other businesses and public spaces, likely going to get to point where social distancing is completely removed (this summer or fall?) and perhaps only masks remain-yet in many states both those provisions are already disappearing

3ft social distancing quickly becoming the norm

from 2000 we have had (by my determination alone) 3 major national crisis-that disrupted the economy in some significant shape or form - 9/11 -Housing Bubble burst/Great Recession 2007-2009 -COVID 2020-2021 I have not really considered the previous three decades of my life, but 3 such events in...

yea people have choices regarding transportation, but no one likes when a service that was part of your resort cost is removed and you have to seek out alternative at additional cost

and possible Mears could decide to continue as paid service since they already have investment into the buses

I have no idea what WDW plans for FP+ (or similar feature) - many more insightful folks posting here would have that - but could certainly see once crowds/demand surges again that a paid FP option could be introduced. We are going in November (first trip since 2016) and planning on rope drop to...

"I thought that the lines would be way more efficient without it...but had to see it. I saw it...much better in traditional lines." When?

And some would have no issue shelling out $500-perhaps regardless of the outcome (whether it was fun or not), others should probably think carefully about that cost for a meal with a character if they were to consider the value of experience they were to gain.

get in the park the minute it opens, also be there and get in lines minutes before it closes (otherwise at least pick dates when most kids are in school and families not on vacation), its not same as using FP+ but can help. There is are also crowd calendars that suggest which parks are most...

Depends a lot on time of day plus time of year, since we avoid the busiest seasons at WDW, we have not waited any longer that 20-30 minutes total (I have spent just as much if not more time waiting an airport rental car counter). Yep I see advantage of having car to do other activities, but for...

"Honestly, I feel bad for anyone that doesn't allow for spontaneity in their life. Just yesterday, I went for a spontaneous Sunday drive, just to get out of the house. I didn't go to an amusement park, but the drive was just...on the spur of the moment. It was fun! To me, that = freedom."...

WDW created a system that allowed guests who stayed at the WDW resort to have advantage in being able to pre-select 3 attractions and avoid long waits while in the park. Its that simple. You can certainly make last minute plans to go to WDW and still enjoy-some planning there can also help...

its not gaming the system nor requires an advanced user, first visit when FP+ was available, I knew enough that reserving 3 attractions would mean 3 less long waits in line.
