Fastpass+ Concerns

[Laughinplace]

I've heard about how you get a wristband for the parks if you don't use a smartphone
but what if you loose one? Can you get a new one? Or do you have to start using a smartphone to get your fastpasses

 

[Timekeeper]

My only concern regarding FastPass+ is FastPass+.

Supposedly they'll have kiosks in the parks hope this thing doesn't ruin all the spontinatity in the parks

I thought there were going to be kiosks set up - or maybe I'm making that up...

I suppose now, instead of the FastPass line, there will be MyMagic+ Kiosk lines.

That's what they're saying hope so, as I'm smart phone challenged by choice.

That must be difficult. Of course, the plus side to not having a smartphone - in addition to the excess money you'll be stockpiling - is that you have the opportunity to see things around you, as opposed to having your face glued to a 4 inch screen in your hand. Progress!

Not that I don't have one just refuse to use it for other than it's original intended use. Calling actual personal interaction If I need to communicate by web I have this sight and #$@$% E mail by the way I love this sight

It's going to be like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

We're planners, but losing on-the-spot spontaneity is a concern. Possible demise of park hopping is a concern. The FP+ maximum in one day is a concern, the potential to penalize people for planning ahead and using their time wisely, only to be locked out of FastPasses over the pre-set limit. The creation of FP+ venues where before there were no FastPasses at all (parade views, Castle shows). The persistent, nagging feeling that the "real" FP+ rationale lies in those spreadsheets of the "sharp pencil boys" that appear to prove that the Billion or so is a good idea because of the behavior modifying, wallet-tapping, crowd-controlling, herd management benefits known to but a few.

Heavy.

I would imagine you could pick another one up on property. May be a slight delay, but ultimately it shouldn't be a problem. Those things probably can be adjusted to fit so they wont fall off. Even then, I'd think losing it would have to be somewhat of a conscious effort.

The wrist band or RFID ticket will allow you to use FASTPASS+ and the new turnstiles. To make a FASTPASS+ reservation you will need to use either a website, smartphone, or in-park kiosk. If you lose your wristband or RFID ticket you will need to go to guest relations to get it replaced.

Case closed.
