there is just no way NOT to wait in line if there are other guests.
So you pay a lot of money for this "skip the line" pass (or get it as a hotel promotion) sooooooo... you sign up digitally for a loading time on a ride, whereupon then you go stand in another physical line to do something else (like ride or shop or eat), then you come back to said Virtual Line which is obviously a REAL line... and you stand in yet another line with several dozen? hundred? thousand? other people who also paid for this perk while waiting for the show to begin/ride to load? I'm so confused... LOL
this all sounds like crazy attempts to push guests throughout the park into less popular areas instead of consistently cramming up the headliner rides with 4 hour waits. Which would be more accurate towards informing a guest of their potential experience.
At least Disney makes sense and goes with the expectation that there WILL be lines and you WILL be waiting in them. In fact they want you to plan and manage the time spent in line - they want you pre-booking FP+ either 3 at a time (or more with CL assistance), then only 1 more at a time, they want you booking ADRs, they want you using mobile ordering. The Universal express pass just seems like a farce in random time because you cannot predict how many bodies are GOING to be physically standing in the line when you take your place according to your Express Pass time that you signed up for digitally.
