FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

[CuteAsMinnie]

WE SHOULD PROBABLY start a new thread on if/when/how FP will return...

As amazing as ROTR is, I’m starting to get tired of boarding passes that I was promised were only temporary.

Where did Disney post that promise?

They never did

when you never admit failure…you can’t promise anything.

I’m not commenting on this ride in particular…I’m just saying they NEVER admit failure on anything

Ok. Thanks for that rambling tangent.

Disney does realize the reason most people stay at Disney resorts is for FP+ right?

Can't imagine ever paying those prices for a tiny room if FP+ was not included.

That’s not the reason…not close.

it’s the transportation, time savings, themed dining, integrated charging system…etc etc etc

That is a stretch. You are taking something that applies to you and generalizing it to "Most People". And in this case it is false. Disney hotels are running full and no one has fastpasses.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

I see the “as interest surrounds a paid fast pass offering” on the news update has hit a bit of a nerve…

get your

Umm, nope, I hope FP+ never returns. Yes, there should be more benefits associated with onsite stays, but FP+ is terrible and needs to die permanently. I really think Disneyland's Maxpass system would be for the best.

Anyone happen to ask the monsters inc. sign in the background on its opinion of fp+ “imminent return”. You know, the one where the cover came off a couple of moths ago?

I would without a doubt pay for fast passes or groups of fast passes if that would mean a guarantee of me riding certain rides when I want to ride them instead of on a specific time. I hate having to scramble to fit fast pass times into my schedule when we plan a disney trip. Just let me buy a general "fast pass" for a park for a specific day that'll let me do x amount of fast pass ride entries per person in my party on that specific day with no time restrictions. With the way crowds are I would easily pay a few hundred bucks per person to do this or more.

There will have to be a time. They can’t manage the flow without assigning times

Same. Even if I had to pick the x amount of rides 30-60 days in advance I'd do it.

Maybe they could create a book with all of your fastpasses in it. Make it clear which ones it covers. I mocked something up like that for you:

Other lesser parks do not assign times, you are simply allowed X number of rides per person on the day you visit, simple as that. Yes they don't have the crowds but it does work.

do they have a “-A” ticket for JIYI?

My family is at WDW this week and I can say that the FP entrances are still being used by some guests. I’m not sure how they are earning the passes, but there is a noticeable number of people using FPs on the E-Ticket rides. Not anywhere near the previous levels, but it’s not just a guest here and there either. I wish I knew how they were getting them!

These are VIPs, Club 33 members, disability access and guests, and Golden Oak residents.

I agree, but also the FPs. And for me, the clean rooms (better than most hotels in the real world), the well run resorts, the willingness and speed that they fix problems, etc., etc.
