But there are many who visited WDW prior to the FP system, like myself, who believe that it is better. YOU may not agree, but unless you were around before FP , you don't really know what it was like.
I was there, I waited in the lines (or not) and I think FP has improved my experience. Others may disagree - but unless you waited in lines (and can really remember it) both before and after, you don't really know.
Mom, I first attended WDW back in 1975. I'm a 41-year-old WDW veteran. I remember prior to Fastpass, prior to Epcot, prior to all-in-one admission (though just barely!).
My previous statements were not my opinion. It is mathematically impossible for Fastpass to shorten the average guest wait. Again, because guests use the system differently, and because line length affects what guests do, and so on, some guests undoubtedly benefit from the system, but they do so at the expense of other guests.
Of course, subjective experience is different from mathematical reality. As I said, it's the difference between what is seen and what is unseen. You see a long line, and you walk right past it, and you feel great. The other lines you stand in are all a little longer, but subjectively we don't really notice that. You don't think about the extra trip you made across the park to hit your Fastpass window, or the fact that you had to spend time planning our your route so that you would
not have to trek across the park to hit the window.
So it's perfectly understandable to me why some people like Fastpass based on their subjective experiences and because some people actually do benefit.
My previous post was directed at someone who said, in effect, that no one in their right minds would oppose Fastpass. I explained why opposing Fastpass is entirely rational. It provides no benefit to the average guest (again, it
cannot), and requires extra physical and mental effort during one's vacation--and if you don't play the game, you are worse off than before Fastpass.
