New HWS FP+ strategy: put your tier 2 show at the earliest show of the day. Scan in as early as possible then immediately leave (or watch if you like) the show. Now you can try for the same-day fastpasses earlier than most everyone else.

I don't think we ever used any of our FP at Hollywood Studios. It is such a waste. We usually wait in the stand-by lines and hop to another park to use the 3 FP.If this is true, I'm going to call/email Disney daily to complain. Using FPs for shows is a COMPLETE waste, so that means there is only one real use for a FP in Tier 2, and I'll have to do standby for nearly every ride in the park! ☹
It’s to draw people into the stand by lines and bog them down so they are NOT mulling around the new stuff - hypotheticallyIf this is true, it is a head-scratcher.
Gotta say I'm pretty happy if this comes to fruition. This dramatically cuts down stand-by times at all rides with the exception of Star Tours.
Indeed, my good manNot really.
AmenBoo tiers.
I keep thinking of @marni1971 's discussion of paid FPs and wonder how/if these changes are part of that.I get that currently there are often few ride FPs available 30 days out but it is a bit surprising to remove an incentive for on-site guests. At least it’s only temporary until SWL and MMRR are added to the FP inventory.

Well, I'll tell you what... if I had booked a trip a few months ago and just found out that I'd be limited in booking because of a new group of Tier 1 FP+s before my 60 day window opened, I'd be on the phone to Guest Services complaining about how they've screwed up my meticulous planning on how I was going to enjoy DHS.There are no longer any need for those incentives...
Big shot has experimented for years on his lab rats and knows they are going to come anyway with rarely a peep or a glance of disapproval.
That’s why you have to be a responsible consumer...everyone ends up paying more for less.
They built a really bland timeshare on the bones of a $49 1988 Moto lodge and charging $190 a point for it...If that isn’t indicative of where the bar is...I don’t know what would be.
interesting... so basically almost every "ride" at the park will be tier 1? might as well just do away with fastpasses and reduce all standby lines

Yeah of course. You're right. My point was only that standby lines will move much faster. Let's say I couldn't get a ToT FP under the current system, then my only recourse is to ride standby line which is so long because so many other people got a FP for it. In the new system, I'll still have to ride standby, but the standby line will move much faster because so much less of the ride's capacity is dedicated to FP users.
This makes no sense. I could see flipping things around and doing Alien Swirling Saucers as Tier 2 and swapping with something else. But making them all Tier 1 is odd. I guess it could work if you do two Tier 1 picks, but that's about all that makes sense.
That park doesn’t have enough capacity and it never did!!!
So that’s not going to get better while they try to pump 5 mil more in there when 4 rides that last a minute or two each. That was disaster a la Iger as your recipe of the day.
And they are falling short on the Mickey ride which is a big ops snafu.
It is what it is
