Fast passes shouldn't be an option at allYou're absolutely right, it should be a pay to use system, thus eliminating the need for half the queue to be used for fastpass only like pirates.

You are not alone in that opinion.Fast passes shouldn't be an option at allI truly believe lines would move considerably faster without fast passes.
You are not alone in that opinion.
Yeah. I would feel bad for that once in a life timer going to disney world and not being able to experience all that they want because of this new fast pass system. It will benefit the people who know how to use it and hurt the folks who don't.
A first timer! You will love it. Hopefully all the kinks in the system will be fixed by then and you will be well informed on this system, especially if you keep up with this site.That would be me. I'm hoping to take my first trip to WDW next year and I feel sorry for myself when it comes to this system.

That's great for you and your family. Everyone doesn't tour the parks like you and your family, and this system is hindering others' experience.
My problem with FastPass+ is finding 3 attractions worth FastPassing.My problem is choosing which rides to do.
That's exactly how the legacy FP worked! LOL it was around for what, 15 years or so, and they still had guests not knowing what is was or that it was even free! Nothing changes with the new system besides being limited to 3. Yes if u knew how to work the FP system to your advantage, you could easily get 5-6 a day, but honestly, besides people on this forum, how many really even knew how to get that many?Yeah.

Attraction tiering at DHS and Epcot absolutely blows.
Geeze, 3 of WDW's 4 theme parks really need some more attractions.

Except for when you go to Maelstrom and bypass a 45 minute standby line, which I see more times than not... I chose Maelstrom as one of my FP+ options, and glad I did... When my brother and I arrived at Maelstrom during the time frame of the FP, the standby line was 40 minutes... When we exited the ride, the standby was 45... Line out the door, literally...I thought the same when I went to Epcot last year, after Soarin' and Test Track there isn't really anything else there that needs a FP+ reservation. You feel sort of stupid turning up to the FP line on Living with the Land or Maelstrom and bypassing a five minute stand-by line.

Well at least Oswald is genuinely rooted in Disney folklore, since forever.Love this comment. Oswald was nothing more than a TINY footnote in the fan community (about on par with the Orange Bird) until the past five years. I have no clue why beyond selling merchandise with 'Walt's first creation' ... let's forget that he wasn't too fond of the 'wabbit or what surrounded his being appropriated by others ... he is simply little more than a footnote in history.
But fanbois just grasp on to things whether they are of consequence or not ... (says the Spirit who 'might' own an Oswald tee!) ...
Yep, I was there during Food and Wine, so I know that helped contribute to the long standby for Maelstrom... However, everything else (except Soarin and Test Track) were walk on... I couldn't understand the 45 minute line for Maelstrom.. Was the 3rd longest wait time in the park...We tend to go at a time each year when its less busy so we don't see those types of crowds at rides like Maelstrom too often thankfully. The longest line I saw at Maelstrom last year was 20 minutes but we learned pretty quickly to avoid Epcot on weekends during Food & Wine so I mostly missed the chaos that descends upon World Showcase during that time. I've seen some ridiculous queues at Maelstrom when we have gone to WDW during peak times so I can't disagree with you.
I really, really wonder what the heck they have up their sleeve. They aren't ones to sit idle, but as far as I can tell they don't actually have anything major coming up in the next few years.
As far as long term plans go, they could get a third gate pumped out by 2020 if they were motivated *cough Olympics cough*.

Otherwise I too don't understand the recent phenomenon of suddely propelling obscure characters into fan superstardom. Orange Bird, Oswald, Ron Schneider. These were all footnotes, mostly irrelevancies until their sudden recent fan stardom.
They do seem to attract a certain segment of fans. Newer fans with a limited scope of their Disney obsession. They focus it on minutiae, and on commercialised offerings, and on tangible characters. There also seems to be an element of overcompensation in it, an attempt to acquire fan authenticity by association with historic minutiae.

Just like the obsession with meta "details" that "prove" the Imagineers are also Disney fans.Well at least Oswald is genuinely rooted in Disney folklore, since forever.
