Big Brother meets Disney. Disney Corp can do what it wants since nobody is forced to go to Disney unless you want to deal with nagging kids for you parenthood life. But the system is rigged to give a major advantage to people who stay at Disney owned resorts since they can make reservations for rides months in advance while the rest of us have to wait at kiosks hoping to get a spot before they are all filled up. When we have been to Disney we used more than the now allotted three reservation under the old FastPass system.

Disney is the entertainment demon for the NWO. They lead children astray into a world of falsity and the occult. Poor Walt is spinning in his grave.

I follow some of the WDW-fan sites.

All of them have a very negative opinion of this new system.

It has resulted in longer waits for rides, a tremendous loss of sponteneity, poorer in-park service and inequity for those who don’t want to pay for a tiny and overpriced WDW resort room.

Long-time Disney fans are reporting that Disney has changed drastically for the worse and many are not planning to return.

I never particularly wanted to go to Disneyworld. But my Parents took me, and my Sister, when I was about 11.

What do I remember? Long lines. And that’s about all. I’d have preferred a Major League Baseball game.

This nothing, they have in the near future plans of a Total Rekall Walt Disney experience, and you never wait in line, it never rains,its all done at home.
Plus you get to meet Walt Disney himself, for an additional fee he becomes your personal tour guide.

Theme parks of the future, at home.

You will never know the difference.

We (Grandparents, daughter & two grandsons) went in January and all had the bands. We loved them. Our daughter used her IPhone to work the FastPass system and we breezed through many long lines. Had to wait a few times when we wanted to save the FastPass for best times. We visited all the parks and enjoyed all the rides we desired. All the parks have many photographers and after they take photos they scan one of the bracelets and all the photos were waiting for us online when we got home. Disney was going to make visitors give bracelets back but too many wanted them as momento. They also opened our door at hotel (Animal Kingdom).

For the record, rumor is that offsite guests (with tickets) will be able to reserve FP+ spots ahead of time by the end of April, if not sooner. They're rolling the reservations out to annual pass holders (not staying on site) now.

Onsite guests are always going to get perks - and pay for it with resort costs that are too high to justify otherwise. As it is, they get the "extra magic hours" access (early entrance to parks or staying after normal closing time) and I wouldn't be surprised if they either get to book FP+ earlier than offsite guests (like 60 days vs. 30 days) or are given 1-2 additional reservations once the general public gets advance bookings.

If you follow the folks over at TouringPlans.com, they actually point out that their computer models shows some of the parks as being more efficient with FP+, even for the "in the know" guests, because you can optimize your schedule without having to run all over the park to get the old legacy FP. I think it's particularly true in Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom.

Part of the fun of the old DisneyWorld was terrific things that weren’t on the “planned” list that one could discover while avoiding those long lines.

The Disney organization’s support of depravity means I’ll never spend another cent on one of their movies, etc.
