Any restrictions on the FastPass+ system, in my own personal greedy opinion, are good. ; As Roger said, I find it annoying how many of Disney's changes only cater to the 'plan ahead' crowd, and leave the casual light-plan or no-plan folks out in the cold. ; FastPass+ was one more step in that direction, like ADPs which have already mangled the dining experience for folks like me. ; All the Disney assurances in the FAQs about how it will still be the same for those who don't wish to plan ahead assume that the lovely stand-by lines won't change, and though they mention how fast passes can still be obtained the traditional way, that seems rather unlikely with millions able to grab many in advance, and even the rest same-day via smartphone.
Ironically, many of the light-planner folks like me are probably some of the biggest spenders in Disney - many of us live nearby, many have DVC membership, most buy the annual passes, many are not just trying to entertain the kids by jumping on rides all day, but take our time and enjoy the bars, high-end restaurants, and special tours/extra cost stuff. ; And we're there 20, 30, even 50 days out of the year, rather than just once every 2 or 3 years. ; I'm pretty zen in dealing with the changes, but admit that every little alteration just bugs me that little bit more, and they're all piling up - ; advanced dining, restricted spots for extra fees all throughout the parks, quiet spots taken away for meet-and-greets and cell-phone-based kid games, fast-pass plus, removal of benches and seating spots, homogenization of the food selections throughout the resorts and parks. ; It's not that I don't want the family who is on their one trip in 5 years to be able to plan out their trip for maximum kid fun - but maybe try accommodating BOTH groups by not overdoing the advanced planning stuff - that's why I'm OK with some restrictions like that mentioned above - it at least SLIGHTLY limits how much of the Disney Parks are closed to visitors who don't want to plan everything to death. ; As it is, it's hard for us to find a good meal at regular hours anymore, and some of the best unique offerings we used to have are now watered down to the same food selections available at all the other restaurants, to accommodate the 'dining plan' folks (they don't want them knowing where the sneaky restaurants are with really good, unique food and scoring a win on the dining plan, so they pull a 'no child left behind' move and bring most restaurant fare down to the lowest common denominator).
The idea that with FastPass+ up and running, I might POSSIBLY be able to actually go on a ride in Epcot without getting in the 'loser-reject-caveman standby' line for 2 hours, because I didn't plan back in June to go on Soarin at 3:45pm on Friday Dec 6, brings at least a tiny window of hope!
