Not sure what the big deal is. If you don't want to use FP+ for fireworks then don't use it. It's not like they're saying you can't watch the show without FP+. It's 2 spots that are reserved. You are still free to show up 3 hours early to "save" a spot. I will be over on the rides knowing my spot is reserved.. IMHO using FP+ for rides is a lot more of a drag assuming that you will have to book your time up to 6 months in advance. You can't be as spontaneous if you are locked into a 3pm reservation at Space Mountain. For a show there is already a set start time. It's not like you can say I'll watch illuminations at 8pm tonight instead of waiting until 9PM. If I am already locked into illuminations at 9PM why not book a reserved spot and avoid waiting around for it to start.

[QUOTE="GoofGoof, post: 5240573, member: 82601"] Not sure what the big deal is. If you don't want to use FP+ for fireworks then don't use it.

I will be over on the rides knowing my spot is reserved.;). IMHO using FP+ for rides is a lot more of a drag assuming that you will have to book your time up to 6 months in advance.
