Do you know that for a fact or are you just speculating?
Can anyone confirm if this test is still going on??? My fastpass window opens on April 4th so I'm just trying to see if I need to think about which 4th fastpass I should select. TIA!!
I have also read in several publications, going back 20 years or so ago, that Disney would also engage in "line blocking" to allow a big crowd to gather outside the ride building to give the impression that the line is massive, when in fact they haven't opened up much of the "snake lines" inside the building....
Just for amusement, I checked for FPs at MK for this Sunday using a ticket of a family member who will not be with us on our upcoming trip. I picked 3 attractions and a fourth one did not appear like it did a few days ago when looking for FPs for earlier this week.
So, it would appear that the test is not continuing for now. Of course, you should stay tuned for updates, but if your window is just opening on Saturday for days in May or June, you probably shouldn't count on getting 4. If you do, accept it as a bonus and make a decision then about what else you want.
According to a lot of FP+ defendants, Disney instituted FP+ because people complained about long lines. So is exaggerating wait times also in response to guest demand?It certainly seems odd to me that a company would purposely create the perception of what might be considered one of the biggest stigmas of a theme park (long lines)
I'm beginning to think there needs to be a board made specifically for ranting and fp arguments. Is there one? Cause this is getting cray. This board is for constructive advice and it ends up being full of the same rehashed arguments.
I disagree. Talking about fp is fine obviously. That needs to be done. But the threads keep going in tangents just to start the same primary argument: is fp+ better than the original. It'd be nice if that was on a separate board.Virtually impossible to separate debates from useful info, and almost everyone agrees FP is key to WDW planning.

The mods have heard this request countless times. They will move some to the Community board when they go far enough off track. I recommend taking up your request through them.

. I also noticed that on some days particular choices wouldn't show up at all (like HM or BTMR). I don't think it's because they are all gone or scheduled to be closed for some reason as there wasn't the red-colored statement to that effect; they just didn't show up at all as possible choices.
Just checked Epcot wait times. Like a previous poster said, there are a couple of things that don't have a very long wait.
Captain EO 5 Min
Ellen's Energy Adventure 10 Min
Journey Into Imagination With Figment 45 Min
Living with the Land 45 Min
Mission: SPACE 100 Min
Soarin' 115 Min
Spaceship Earth 55 Min
Test Track Presented by Chevrolet 120 Min
The Seas with Nemo & Friends 35 Min
Turtle Talk With Crush 30 Min
Seems like no matter how high they post those wait times to "encourage people to go somewhere else" poor EO just can't get any love.
Looking at wait times on Lines right now it seems only Soarin' and Test Track have long waits. Most everything else is 30 min or less expected wait times. That's not terrible for one of the busiest weeks of the year. Then again, I'm not there!
Previous reports were that you need to reschedule existing FPs to get the 4th to appear.so i sign in to view fp's for this sunday and i still have 3. if im able to get the 4th will it just appear in my list? or do i go into mde and act like im going to change an existing one? maybe a little help from someone who just did this please
Honestly not sure why I am bothering to post. Is anyone else actually here today who is saying I am wrong?
Alfalfa thanks for confirming many rides were over an hour. Not all rides but most you want to ride.
Epcot open till 9 yesterday. I was there was the poster there?
March 30th - April 2nd. Looking at their Times Guide in front of me. They are not open past 9 till Friday April 3rd.
Really I don't need to post was just trying to help.
I am new to this forum and honestly done with it all.
Not a very Magical place.
If anyone that is actually here right now thinks differently I totally understand. If you aren't not sure how you can say I am completely wrong.
Thanks for taking the time to post an update. It's great to hear from someone who is there. Have a wonderful evening!Hi checking in from the front. Again we were never offered a 4th fast pass this week until we used our 3.
So think you need to cancel & start all over.
This am did 7D at rope drop 1st train of the day. Ran to Space. Took longer than we thought. ( was told some workers were late so ride did not open at 7.
Then waited for rope drop at 8 for rest of park to be in the first car of TM for the day.
When we left park at 1:30 for a break times were running 50 plus for most top rides. 120 for 7D
Because TM was down for our Fast pass time we were unable to get a 4th one so far. Wanted to keep TM so it still shows one unused. It is what it is.
5:30 starts are starting to take a toll on the peeps! All except me sleeping now.
