Similar to how the attraction was before they added the third track.
It doesn't go down to one track until April 9th.

They'll just complain about how they had to wait in line like the rest of the normal folk.

They will complain, but, before long they won't be angry about it and they will understand that it is a much more pleasant experience overall.

So...would the premise be that closer to May7th (or possible even ON May 7th) they'd open back up fastpass+ for may 7th and onward?
Not sure if a precedent has been set in the past for a higher tiered ride.
We're hitting HWS on May 13th and TSM being open for fastpass or not may well determine if we decide to park hop.
It was easily the ride favourite of our family for our first ever visit last year and we'd definitely try and rebook a 4th FP+ if the option was there for later in the afternoon.

Only one report so far that someone was able to book June 25th. Someone else tried to book and wasn't able to yet. Seems they are still working on that. Non-CL guests have not been able to book for May 8th or beyond.

All they have to do is have everyone have their credit card information linked to the MagicBand. You come up to Big Thunder - scan band for $3.00 and you get in line. This could get rid of FP and just stand by but you pay to ride each attraction. Admission stays at current price.

So... You want to go back to the ticket system but without limits. That's not too wonderful. Also, a big thing Disney tries to do now is to keep the thought of how much this is costing far away from the main thoughts of guests. This is why the Dining Plan exists and why paying for more days at once costs less, with the only exception being merchandise. Speaking as someone on a Royal Caribbean cruise right now, I'm terrified of doing anything because everything has an upfront cost to it. Sure, it had a lower ticket price than a Disney cruise, but I'm bored out of my mind because I don't want to spend more money. Just imagine if every choice you made in a Disney park had the same issue. "Sorry son, we can't afford to ride space mountain again today, we have to keep our budget intact." It may have worked back when there was no/a small entry fee because it didn't cost a year or two of savings to get there and in, but nowadays it's bonkers.

Just saying the are heading that way. It would be hard to keep track on the MagicBand the $$ you spend. That’s why I don’t use the band to pay for anything. I wish they would do away with FP all together.

thats insanity
pay 100 bucks a day or more, then have to pay extra for each ride.
and we all know no ride is going to cost just $3 bucks, heck you cant even buy a bottle of water for that cheap at the parks

For something like a cruise pay as you go can be better.
then you end up only paying for the things you want to do such as the excursions you want to take or the alcoholic drinks you want to drink
if those things were included then many people would be paying for things that they wouldnt be utilizing

Amazingly, of all the charges they have been doing lately, charging for a FP is the least objectionable of them all. It will not be long and, since they won't stop it completely because it is yet another cash grab, I look forward to having it happen. The percentage of FP users would drop considerably and standby would start moving again. I'm all for it.

I'm a little confused on the Club Level FP's that they charge guests $50 for. Does that mean they get an extra 3 on top of the usual 3? So they can hold 6 at a time? Am I confused on this, which I very well could be. I'm sure it's not widely used, but it seems a little ridiculous to hold that many at a time.
But I think paid FP is what they should do at this point, make it day of only, not 60/90 day booking windows, that's ridiculous to me. Though I wish it would just go away as if it never existed.

Yes it’s an extra 3 on top of the usual 3. So they can have six at a time. I believe though that they are only able to book the extra 3 at 90 days and not all 6 but I could be wrong.
I see this as just the beginning of paid FP at WDW.

You never know. They keep doing all of these upcharges. Nothing will surprise me.
Now, back to TSL. I am looking forward to it. It looks like it will be fun and we’ll done.

I don't understand how people don't understand this!! I will never pay for fast pass but I want it to happen in the worst way because everyone will win in the end.
