It is your opinion that Disney thinks FP is a failure. Because that is how you personally feel. I personally feel it made our family vacations awesome. We love it and want to see it back in some form. Maybe revamped maybe notWhen you state a fact you need to be able to back it up or it’s not a fact. It’s opinion. 3rd grade language arts right here
for us having 3 FP+ booked in advance for each park day was all we needed and very helpful (along with in park rope drop to close) strategy to ensure we could see and do everything on our priority list. No idea what FP will look like in future, but with next trip in November it sure would be helpful for our planning to know if its in place and how-so we can consider using most effectively.I always tried to do this...
but the 5 minute intervals not lining up always seemed to make the 3 end up taking up 4+ hours at best and then bleed into food, the heat, etc.
i have little evidence...but I’m like 99.9% sure fastpass+ sucked.
...well it sure beats the LAST thing(s) that did thisIf there's anything that should divide the common human family into warring camps it is line-cutting!! The Unforgiveable Sin!!!
It doesn't matter anyways. Disney says it's a failure and aren't bringing it back.
I highly doubt FP is going to be gone forever. For one, they are not about to let all lines to all rides be 1-2 hours long (closer to 2 hours). Second, they aren't going to charge crazy prices for it that bump the total cost of a vacation up $2000-$3000 for the average family.
I predict some kind of combination for on-site guests. Perhaps $50 for off-site guests per day and $25 for on-site guests. That's just one idea that came to mind. Then, with that price could come the same usage as before (3 FP's at a time and then 1 at at time after the original 3 are used). And, like before, perhaps they can keep the 30/60 day off-site/on-site reservation window.
I do not understand how people cannot want it to stay. For those who do not like using it, nobody is forcing them to do so.
People do not want to stay because the system does not work. It causes people to spend more time planning and on their phones than is necessary and it makes the lines longer and move more slowly than they would otherwise. Some people enjoy knowing that they have three rides or sometimes more that will have a guaranteed short wait but what they don’t realize is that in general they are actually not accomplishing anymore than they would if we didn’t have fast pass plusI highly doubt FP is going to be gone forever.

No, the people saying it's a bad system know exactly how to use it -- I imagine some of them know how to use it even better than you do. Also, you do realize that if everyone did what you're suggesting, you'd no longer have any advantage and would have to wait in long lines all day? That's one of the reasons it's a bad system, but it's not the only one.

I don't think that's quite accurate. More like "Disney says it doesn't bring in enough revenues and are finding a way to monetize it more directly".

Talk about combative...what link? Are you 25 and combative or just combative? Your talking about the PR selective company in American history. They’ve never...EVER...had a “bad product” or a “failure”.
they built 3 bad parks in the early 00’s...they were all smashing “successes”.
Read the other thread:I highly doubt FP is going to be gone forever.

See my post two above yours.And hopefully one day soon we will be doing it again
Talk about combative...
I'm pretty sure it's both. Martin has said it was bad for park operations -- I think there's a reason they never expanded it to other locations.
Regardless, of the reason it's still a failure in Disney's eyes, which is all I said. The reason why it's a failure doesn't really matter.
Everything on this forum is speculation. Including your opinions. Including mine. Now if you are an exec at Disney why didn’t you say so?I never launch the attack on the sleepy naval base...
this was about the fifth time in 2 days the sad, non-intellectual “link?” Was thrown?
I don’t want to pull this card...but there are ALOT of wise, semi-connected opinions that have shared what they can about the demise of fastpass+
it would be a 1980 Olympics type upset if that was a multi-year smokescreen. It has never worked well and most have noticed.
Thanks. I had to scour through it. Then, I finally gave up and looked up Max Pass lol. From what I gather (correct me if I am wrong), it's essentially the same as FP+ but uses your phone and costs $20 per day per ticket (so a family of 3 like mine would pay $60 a day. For a 7-day trip, that's $420). I'd go for that.Read the other thread:
Rumor - Version of MaxPass coming to WDW in May?
I was scrolling one of the DVC member newsfeeds this morning on Facebook and someone dropped on instagram how her and her family were able to do multiple FOP rides in one day due to something new that was coming out in May, but she couldn't go into detail just yet. Lots of comments were thinking...forums.wdwmagic.com
Currently the reason FP+ will return is as a stop gap if there is an issue rolling out the new system. Although it’d have to be a recent problem given the new system was actively being tested pre Covid.
