I 100% agree that the old fastpass system’s biggest problem was that it penalized late risers. We are not morning people and It did suck that most of the headliners were either gone or had a long return times by the time we arrived.
I think fp+ is great for magic kingdom because we get 3 real fast passes, it’s good for animal kingdom because there are a fair amount of attractions in tier 2 category and is awful at Epcot & HS because we only get 1 usable fastpass at each park.
This one still penalizes late risers or more accurately not crack of dawn risers. I book my FP at 6 AM. I can only get the 3 problematic ones because we have fairly long onsite trips.
Lets not forget that back in the FP- day not every attraction garnered the madness that TSMM did. They didn’t really require the work that one did. There was a lot to be had midday, as well as reasonable lines at attractions that are now on the FP system but weren’t then. My point being, it’s not like we traded every attraction being a problem for just 3. The newest headliners are always going to cause somewhat of an issue until they find that sweet spot where capacity actually meets (or exceeds, wouldn’t that be cool) demand.
Dont get me wrong, I think I’m at the point where I do prefer FP+, but it’s not a more fair or objectively better system it just rewards a different set of people.
Also sorry, I may have gone off on a bit of a tangent lol.
