Poll Time! Should FPP return?

[OBNurseNH]

I can’t decide my answer to most of these questions so I’m only voting in the one that I am pretty passionate about

[PrincipalTinker]

The question: who should have advanced FP. I picked an answer that I don’t really agree with. Honestly, I liked that a longer window of advanced FP was an on-site benefit but I don’t read that as a choice?

@Jeff_AZ - I don’t think I’ve ever said it, but “Thanks!” for doing these polls. Sometimes, lately, I’ve lost my passion for all things TP and planning, since I’m not going for a long time. These polls always bring me back a bit!

[Jeff_AZ]

Thanks! Making polls is fun but can also take a lot of time and though to get right!

The way I was thinking of it when I wrote the options was that there would be a benefit to being onsite / club level, etc. (and poll 5 is more focused on those benefits) but just in general what should the baseline be for regular guests. So should it be 30+10 or 60+10, etc.

[PrincipalTinker]

I am reading this differently

Top: everyone has some- special groups have more (everyone gets 3- special groups get 5 or everyone can FP Dumbo, special groups can book FoP)
Middle: everyone gets the same
Bottom: everyone gets the same but you can pay for more (everyone gets 3, $50 for 5)

Does your additional access= time?

WDW is really paying attention to @Jeff_AZ 's poll.

FastPass on its way back?

https://wdwnt.com/2021/06/addition-of-standby-to-wait-times-in-my-disney-experience-suggests-fastpass-may-return-soon/ Hate to post rumors but it is interesting none the less. You gotta believe they want something in place at least a month for the 50th crowds roll in in October. Maybe we get some form of FP back this summer?

My reply was a paid system a la UOR. By its nature, it will lead to fewer people using the FP system and more ride capacity being dedicated to the SB line in general. And, like universal, it would be something people may choose to have on some trips (shorter trips, trips taken during peak travel times, etc) and forgo on others. I also highly prefer the elimination of FP return windows. They suck and make the day feel too scheduled.

That’s because he just spent a gazillion $ there.

[Jeff_AZ]

Yeah that poll was more about # of fastpasses. I didn’t make a poll about additional time because I figured it’s not controversial to have extra days if you are on site or in club level.

[Jeff_AZ]

a gazillion $

That’s rounding up, but close.

They ought to!!!

The questions were hard to answer because while I prefer Max pass, I still have lots of opinions about FPP too. I would love an option like UOR gives with express, but I don’t see that working as well at WDW due to the huge number of onsite guests. So maybe it would only be for club level stays and everyone else gets FPP or Max pass. That seems fair. We have only stayed CL once, and it was awesome to have the 6 FPP every day (it was over the Christmas holidays), but if they sold or included something like express, I would probably mostly stay CL from here out. I’d need to work more though.

[kerrilux_625778]

This pretty much sums up my thoughts too.

[ryan1]

I think there should be a paid option, but priced very high so that very few people use it. This allows those who really want to ensure they get to ride things or have a very short trip could do it, but most people wouldn’t want to pay for it.

I also think onsite guests shouldn’t get more opportunity…so not like Express Pass at Universal.

If Disney does it this way, they drive up revenue for themselves, but don’t devalue the price people are paying to go to the parks by making the lines appreciably longer.

[PrincipalTinker]

Isn’t that a plaid ?

[ryan1]

I don’t know. I don’t anything about a plaid. But I don’t think I mean that high. But maybe $200 per person? I don’t know the exact price point.

[vblank]

I hate the one size only option at USO. I mean i would pay half the price of express pass at USO if I could ride half the rides. I would prefer a free option but have options for paid upgrades if you want. Not even sure how that would work? Options…i like options! Still think on site and dvc should get some advantage in any system.

plaid

I’ve seen this used several times in the forum. Is it an acronym? What does it stand for or mean? (Yes, I am out of touch )

[Jeff_AZ]

It is code for a VIP tour. Cast members who lead VIP tours wear plaid, so they are called “plaids.”

[poohfanclub]

Thanks! (Obviously, I never paid for a VIP tour, or I would know this )

I always liked Disney for their system being free. I despise the idea of pay to play that puts those unwilling to pay at a disadvantage. Ticket prices are exorbinant enough.
