And a solution that prevents other guests from experiencing it at all doesn't fix it.

We are a family that always does Soarin' multiple times per day. We go to early morning EMHs and arrive early to be close to the front. We dealt with the ADRs and the FP+ and wore the MBs (well, I didn't wear mine after day 3 because of a rash, but I think it was a reaction with medication since I was the only one in the family to experience this and the medicine was the only difference).
We have developed a new Epcot morning day for EMHS with FP+. We go straight to Soarin' and ride, and have our FPs set for that same ride later on in the morning. Once we are done with Soarin' we go do TT once in the standby line and then in the single rider. This allows us to ride both rides twice in one day.
We are going in Feb with a band trip. If the experience has changed so much by then vs. how we experienced it in June and its more of a hassle then we have already decided to change our summer trip plans.
I will say that we didn't look like everyone else because I took our camera and none of us had i - anything .

baaaaahahahahahaa this is hilarious! They should just get rid of stand-by all together and let people get FP for anything you want to ride.

Saw this on twitter:
"At 5:30 guests were near riot level refusing to leave and the CM's were threatening to all quit. Reopened standby - made return holders mad."
"Second day, orders came down to "stick to the plan" and the queue closed again around 5pm. At 6:40 CMs began walking off refusing to work."

Interesting read. Thanks for posting. Still not a fan.
I hope that this would not be considered an alternative to building more capacity to accommodate more guests. And by capacity I mean whole park capacity and not just Soarin'.

Interesting article. It worries me that there weren't many people audibly complaining, because then Disney might think this is ok to do. But it was a bit relieving that it stopped at 7.
