No FP at PhilharMagic, Laugh Floor on 11/1

Is this a change to the FP lineup for the MK, or just some sort of glitch?

Both attractions are open on 11/1 according to MDE. They're not able to be booked for FP though; they're displayed at the bottom of the page with the standard "distribution is done" message.

Sounds like a glitch Len. They are people eaters and it works for Disney that most people don’t realize you really don’t need FP for either so I’m finding it hard to believe to take them offline.

It's all part of the current smoke and mirrors philosophy anyway. Even if the FP people get in first (do they, I don't know?) allegedly they have to go all the way to the end of the row anyway. I mean it's not like they can just go to the center, plunk their massive butts down and make people step over them. No, I know that wouldn't happen.

Spoiler

Except for the first sentence the rest is pure sarcasm. I'm sure you realized but lately most are unable to pick out sarcasm, so I'm telling you with this spoiler.

I know FP has caused some issues at LF aside from the standard “up the wait time,” due to the facility’s configuration and lack of staffing across the board.
I guess I could see the same being true for Philhar, with minimal value added to staffing the touchpoints?

Would be interesting if they decided to remove FP from these attractions. They know the numbers, so maybe they can’t justify the extra CM’s as @Magic Feather mentioned. In a park full of FP options, I wouldn’t be surprised if these were the two least used.

Both sites close down on Halloween Nights for trick or treat. I wonder if the FP removal is a glitch related to that.

Theater based shows should not have fastpasses. Muppets fast pass for example is pointless but easyto staff, pillar magic requires an additional cm.

This year the last party is on 10/31.

I noticed this while making FPs this morning as well.

Shows should not have FP.

 

[RSoxNo1]

Here's hoping they're removing it from those two shows. The reality is that Fastpass+ needs to be removed from many more attractions at least on select days.

I'd like to add omnimovers to your list as well. The only reasons lines for those rides get long are because of FP.

 

[Biff215]

I fully agree that shows and omnimovers should not have FP, but when you have a system that promises three prebooked FP, there’s not much of a choice in parks with limited options. The exception is MK, so maybe this is a step in the right direction.

Yes, that's why I called it a glitch. It could be an unintentional holdover.

Disney needs another show or two for people eaters. One reason I was hoping the theater would be built

Agreed

 

[MuteSuperstar]

Wow I had no idea Laugh Floor had FP. But then I have yet to set foot in it anyway.
But yeah perhaps a system glitch.

 

[tissandtully]

I prefer to wait for M.I.LF. anyways.

 

[KawiJason]

No need for a fp at all for pm. Just go standby line. You will go in at the same time as fp. Rarely crowded. Then you spend half the show thinking your glasses are broken or your eye sight is messed up!

 

[Kman101]

Exactly, the shows just don't need fast pass. There's really no benefit overall. I can see them dropping off as FP's as more rides get added. Guess we'll see. Like others have said, sounds like it could be a "we can save on staffing this". It's just not necessary and they hopefully see that.
