All Guests Now Use Fastpass+...Stand Alone Line Closing

[Mammymouse]

Can you envision a time soon when all guests will be booking and using the Fastpass+ so that that it will become the only line at attractions? If so it kind of defeats the purpose for a guest, but most likely not for Disney planners. I'm sad to say I guess I've given up drinking the Kool Aid and started swallowing the bitter pill .

i think they will always be stand by lines but i think more and more people will become disney planners, to be fair though i do not think it will change queues much it will work the same way as it has done with the old fastpass, when the tickets are gone, they are gone lol

Not soon, but it could happen eventually.

I REFUSE to plan anything except which week to go and how to get there.....

This is the beginning of the end.

I can see the death of conventional FP

I can see a scenario where you can't go on ANYTING without FP'ing it first.

I can see a time where park admission is based on what you have FP'ed and you won't be allowed in unless you have something booked to go on.

I can see a time where everything has to be booked 190 days in advance of park entry.
Imagine a window popup - "Sorry, you're selected times to order a burger in Cosmo's is full. Please select from other month"

I can see a time where the park may be empty of people, but no admissions are allowed because everything has
been booked months in advance. I can see an announcement such as "MK on Stage 3 closure", but no one has actually arrived at the park.

I can see a time where some people who do not/can not use the internet being denied anything in the park because they haven't/can't book a slot on anything.

I can see the death of the Standby Line.

I can see absolute chaos when the entire MB system collapses during some technical fault and nothing works.

If Disney are so blinded by this technology they are intent on stream-rolling out this unproven system (speaking from experience) onto everyone regardless if they want it or not, with the intent of messing people's experience of WDW and destroy the 'casual visitor', then I can see the death of WDW itself and I have no sympathy with them when decide people stay away.

Well it has already been reported that the single rider lines have been cut off during the slow times - and this is another cut that will impact me as I am a solo traveler.
