@85glgt I generally only plan my first half of my day… and then I go with the flow for the 2nd half. I like to balance out my OCD a little bit
Oh my gosh, that is what we do! I think we really are related!
July 7, 2017 at 4:30 pm #37500It’s all moving towards technology.
It’s a shame most things in life are going this way. Just because that’s the modern thing to do, doesn’t mean it’s right, or in some cases wanted. I don’t hate the FP+ system, it has some advantages, but there are many drawbacks. I wish it would have been possible to keep both paper FPs and FP+, then everyone could be happy.
July 7, 2017 at 4:32 pm #37501I like going with the flow as much as I can. I HATE the fact that I have to plan my whole vacation day by day… that is what this Fast Pass system has done. Enough said.
Day by day and hour by hour! It was so nice on our Universal vacation last year to make it up as we went along, change our plans last minute without penalty, and not have to check an app to see what was next all day long. I had much more freedom and it was a lot less stressful than our last Disney trip. AND still an incredibly enjoyable vacation!

That was how our Disney vacations were. We would even play “bus roulette”. Whatever bus showed up first, that is the park that we would start our mornings in. We would then go to an attraction that we would like to ride, if the queue was too long, we would just fastpass it (old system) then go on our way to something else. Now….. don’t get me started ggrrr!
Sorry Acamm for highjacking….. I’m just venting.

RIDisneyPinGuy182 XP… And as far as paying extra to be able to use the app for FP+, that is terrible. I hope that is a short-lived failure of a money-grab scheme.
For DLR not WDW.. it’s called max plus i believe.
Either way… because if it works on the left coast, best believe good ole Bobby will bring it to the right…
They are getting carried away with the nickel and dime grabs, while still bumping pricing each year, and cutting services/CMs/experiences.

StupidJudy71 XP@acamm any changes to your FP plans? Been so crazy at work the past couple weeks so I am catching up on D-Cot this morning!

missingWDW183 XP@Acamm i just switched around some pf my FP’s this morning. We’re doing rope drop at AK and praying I don’t lose a kid in the stamped for FoP :p
Strange that at 34 days out, there were Toy Story FP available at 9:05. ToT also had early morning FP available. HS must really be a ghost-townJuly 24, 2017 at 7:13 am #40430@stupidjudy @missingwdw There is actually an update in my fastpass debacle !! If you remember, I had to get FoP for our very last park day Sept 8th instead of for our first day Sept 2nd when we actually were planning to be at AK.
Since then, I’ve been checking the FP site daily for any openings on Sept 3…. and I finally got one!!! The only problem is that its for 7:05PM!!!!!! I grabbed it, and still kept the FP for Friday too. I’m hoping for a cancellation so that I can get the time moved up to 1:00 or so … that way I can get a 4th and 5th FP for later in the day

I’ve done that before! It’s so sad when you score something awesome and then you realize “Oh yeah, I’m not even there that day”
