am i the only one who thinks paid fastpasses aren’t actually that bad…? universal does it and it works out so much better over there, lines move much more smoothly when the fastpass line doesnt get clogged up.
Well good / bad to me is all relative:
Cheap enough that it is something I see has value - good
Expensive enough I will never buy - bad
Better than a free system - bad
Better than no system - good
Better than limiting the number of people in park so I don't need them - bad
Better than not being able to get in the park - good
Honestly, what is a win for me is when I go I don't want to perceive that I spent all day in a line. What was nice about FP+ is even though I still had some lengthy waits, they weren't ALL lengthy waits. Having a few short wait items in the park made the longer waits more tolerable. If I start off with a 40+ minute wait for every single ride I have to do in the park, that will get old fast. By mid-afternoon I am going to be tired of constantly standing in line, it will be hot, I will likely leave, and I will perceive I didn't get my money's worth. Since the park is the heart and soul of the expensive Disney vacation experience, all the other $$$ are mostly wasted if I am miserable in the park. That is my fear of no system at all but a largely full park.
I realize that there is little to know chance of Disney limiting park capacity.
I am hopeful that if it is a paid system, it is closer to a commonly used item and less of comparable to VIP Tour.
Therefore I am just looking for anything at this point to mitigate this concern
I am strongly considering canceling my trip due to the current state.
