I'm in CA so a DL'er. I follow these threads with interest, as I enjoy regular FP here and try to keep up on any clues that things may change at DL and thus be prepared for FP+. What I find so interesting in all this though is how differently DL treats it's base (AP's) vs WDW (tourists.)
I'm amazed and shocked really. Here they throw us parties, send us calendars and limited edition prints, reopen refurbed rides to AP's exclusively for the first week or two etc. etc. They plus the park in little ways to enhance the "specialness" of the place - the return of the Hatbox Ghost, the addition of The Little Man of Disneyland, etc. And of course we get discounts. All for what I consider to be amazingly low AP prices. I never understand when people complain about the overall value of an AP.
But at WDW the base must pay a much higher price for the experience and yet seems to be at such mercy of ever-changing practices, oft mistunderstood procedures (by CM's), and regularly poor-performing it dynamics. While I'll be clear that my hope is to never get FP+ here, I'll deal if and when it happens. But to deal with it in the way WDW has rolled out the program, that's another matter. Whether or not I would like FP+ is not the question, I can handle change and go with the flow. As long as the flow doesn't require midnight hurdles to maybe, or maybe not, get a ride. Or maybe it's not midnight. Maybe it's 1am. Or maybe once I get my 3 rides, one (or all) will vanish. For one of us, but not the other. Or the app won't work. Or I'm sent through a series of revolving doors to resolve a "glitch", possibly to no fruition. Or. or. or.
I'll be honest. I don't get it. This isn't about whether FP+ touring would work well for us or not. It's about FP+ itself working. Not to mention being user friendly, reliable, et al. And at the cost of a WDW vacation, wow, I just don't get how Disney thinks it's ok to have their guests jump through hoops and then still deal with the frustrations and disappointments they seem to have caused many guests.
Since FP+ has not been implemented in any way out here yet, I do think they are actually reconsidering or at least revamping any future implementation at DL. At least I hope that's the case.
