Perhaps, but there are multiple pictures of new style fastpass kiosks being installed and multiple people reporting it.
God that sounds AWFULL, I know Disney had a VERY rough 2020, but it is getting harder to justify staying on property.
Are you getting enough oxygen?
They're not newly installed. They've been there the whole time. Just some have been uncovered for maintenance.
I don’t know since I haven’t been there but some people are reporting machines that weren’t there one day and showed up the next.
The true FastPass+ kiosks were the friends we made along the way.

This seems to me to be a precursor to eliminating free FP..........All resorts guests will get a chance to ride the headliners in the am and deluxe in the pm but if you want to ride during the day, you will have to pay for it........No doubt in my mind that this is coming now with this release
Fab5 branded Boost Oxygen confirmed. However, Donald's should be filled with helium.
The announcement of Early Entry and Extended Hours, 3 months before they debut...
The reassurance that dining plan will return at some point...
Combined with the total silence on Fastpass: It really suggests that:
1 -- At a minimum, FP+ is not returning any time soon
2 -- Likely that FP+ is not returning ever, and the replacement is not starting any time too soon
My best guess is that some FP replacement gets announced within the next few months, and premiers in 2022.

Or maybe they’re spreading out the announcements.
They’ve just announced extended hours - for some select guests. Next announcement could be that FP is back and “bonus - you can get more FPs”. Obviously they’ll spin it as a positive, even though it’ll cost you.

Seems to me this is a good indication free FP is not returning and that wont be an issue

Martin has said all along that there will still be a free component.

It ended up being a 3. I think the rain and other downtime had something to do with that. We had:
- Astro Orbiter offline for 13% of the day
- Big Thunder 17%
- Haunted Mansion 18%
- Peter Pan 12%
- Pirates 10%
- Space 13%

I believe Martin, but what i meant is it will be more like the old FP or MaxPass and cant be booked until you are in park............my fault, should have clarified my statement......free available but only day of so no advanced booking
Yes.. but we have seen, other than restaurant openings, announcements are at least 3 months in advance, often far more. Early Entry was announced months ago... with firm start date announced now, 3 months in advance. The opening of Ratatouille announced over 6 months in advance, etc.
They reassured the return of the dining plan -- without even a date. Why not give the same assurance for FP?
Yes, FP could be the next announcement -- But the start date would still be months away, late 2021/early 2022 at the earliest.
