It’s been a long time since I’ve used FP+ (essentially what this is, just paid) but I think with a trip or two being under my belt that I’ll get used to it again. My only issue is going to be the times where the only rides I want have afternoon times (sort of mitigated by allowing us to look at the schedule and then book in which case I just maybe won’t grab it), that’s going to determine it for me. The other issue is going to be if I can modify times or not, like G+ allowed, or if I’m locked into the slot I picked like old FP+(?? It’s been so long).
If I can modify times then that’s perfect, and I can already look at the schedule for the day and pick what I want, assuming they have some E ticket ride inventory for those not staying at resorts (it’s a great resort perk and I’m glad they’re getting that, because they needed it, but I don’t usually stay on property). If not, that’s fine, I’ll use it for whatever’s available. The only hitch, assuming those are both yesses is going to be how many people get FP+ Paid (sorry, not changing it to LLMP, it’s the same system, so I’m calling it the same thing) and what that does for the lines. If it’s not a pick for a lot of people, that means SB lines won’t suffer, if it’s a lot of people, we might still have the same LL line issues as before, just a little less.
Either way, I’m sort of excited? FP+ was an accommodation that worked for me, so I’m glad that’s back, it’s really going to be the specifics of how this version is done that might be a hang up for me, I’m hoping that they’ll cover my worries closer to when roll-out is, so I can go in reassured. Glad we don’t have to do the mad scramble at 7AM (VQ non-withstanding) anymore, and being able to look before you book is sweet. Definitely wondering if the old FP+ strategies still work, considering it’s the same Use One Pick One system as before.
