That's simply not true.

Why not do what Universal does?

Nah, that's ridiculous.. I thought this thread was gonna be more about how fast rides and attractions are being built compared to their announcement dates... That I'd be for. But Disney wins on the count of FP+. It's stupid and unnecessary to pay so much for express passes at Universal.

Can you give me an example of rides there that have excessive wait times? Maybe it depends when you are traveling.
I feel like this thread was a trick. You don't seem interested in any of the answers as to why Disney might not do what Universal does, yet you asked the question as if you were. I give up.
Splash mountain. Thunder mountain. Seven dwarves. Just to name a few. I've seen them all temporarily closed due to heavy rain and lightning.

The only argument against this would have to be...
Other than that, you are right.
You must have some pretty bad luck then... I have NEVER seen these attractions down outside of refurbishment. 90% of WDW's rides are indoors... So what are the remaining attractions outside of those* "few?"
Simpsons. Despicable Me. Transformers. The Mummy. Men In Black. Hogwarts Express. There's six right there.
And let me get this straight. You can argue that the FP+ system is better, but I can't argue that the express pass system is better? Okay, gotcha.

7DMT, BTMR, both close every time there's a thunder storm. Happened a lot this September. They weren't closed more than an hour or so, but it still messed up the FP+.
I don't find the cost to be unreasonably expensive at all.

I've never had a time when I couldn't use a fastpass so I don't know if this is true but, if Disney ahuts down a ride aren't fastpasses good later in the day if the ride reopens?
Yes, they are. Better hope you don't already have something else scheduled though. Oh, and the whole concept of "fastpass" kinda loses its meaning when they are trying to cram too many fastpasses into a certain window of time.

Actually, even better: if a ride goes down when you have a FP+ for it, you can use a replacement FP+ at any FP+ enabled ride at any time that day.

No is the short answer. Sometimes you can talk them into a paper FP, but by FP rules, they don't have to. Rules read you can choose another FP. BUT the answer to the thread question is (IMO) too many people would buy and you'd just have two long lines.

Cool, that is very good to know. Thank you.
Has thing to do with relaxing or not relaxing. I was simply answering your question.

I thought it had to be available, good to know.
That's actually incorrect. At least in my experience it is.

If a ride goes down, you'll be offered a your choice FP (not FP+).
Tower of Terror went down and I couldn't use my fastpass. I asked for a replaceme to fastpass to TSM and was told "nope."

What time of day? What type of outage?
There's a lot that goes into it, but if it's a hard down, you'll have the option. It's just easy for them to do.
That said, TSMM is a crowd control nightmare, so yeah, I could see them limiting that.
