Who loves it? And what do you “love” about it?
I don’t know if love is the right word, but I like it more than the old FP system. So just comparing the two is why I say to keep it. First and foremost the wait for LL was pretty much walk right to the merge point or close. Our last trip using FP (MLK week 2019) we regularly waited in 30+ minute FP return lines. Our most recent trip last busy spring break week I don’t remember waiting more than a couple minutes to get past the merge point. That is a huge plus.
While I hate paying for it, I also like that they charge for it. It limits the amount of people using it, so it goes hand in hand with my first like. I know a lot of people say it prices people out, but we factor it as a cost from the beginning. And I by no means make a lot of money and am probably considered on the very very low end of middle class.
I hated making my decisions on what I’d want to be doing two months beforehand. Don’t forget all the people then complaining about how hard it was to get rides if you weren’t booking 60 days out. While it was nice knowing going in that you’d have three rides for sure, we had no issues getting atleast 5. Hollywood studios did require some refreshing but we rode sdd, tot, rnrc, mmrr, Mfsm, as2 all with LL. It may be even better now that modify is an option.
Then they starting limiting it with the tiers. So not being able to get a second headliner right away at your second pick now isn’t any different than before. We had to keep refreshing then too.
A lot of people say they hate getting up every morning of their trip to book right at 7, but minus a couple rides that’s really not necessary. I know this probably isn’t a busy day (it’s after a holiday and before spring break), but as of right now only slinky and remy don’t have LL availability. So even getting up at 9 would get you what you wanted for the most part. And if one of those is a must you can now modify and try to get one. Or if you’re going to sleeping in most people will probably stay late. So you can get in line at close to close for a low wait.
Like I said, I don’t love it, but I like it. I don’t love adding over $100/day (maybe $200 with ILL a couple days) to an already expensive trip. But if I had to choose between LL and FP as it was I’d always choose LL.
