We all knew it was coming. They will find ways to squeeze the dollars from you. A family of 6, they come maybe once every 3-4 years - they will def pay $10 per person or whatever the price is to get on Flight of Passage and get on with their day. It's just another cost people will have to factor in.
I don't mind this at all. If they really wanna rake in the bucks, they'll offer whatever the top pass is with a $10 Lightening access each day. Passholders hate waiting in most lines, so I could see myself doing this, maybe not every single day I go, but enough for Disney to make an extra $50+ from each passholder if they go a few times a month.
I'm used to this as an old Max Pass guest, so this is where it's all going to trend - Paid express to the front of the line. Each guest is different and everyone's budget is different. It's not a factor for me at WDW, but it could be to visiting families. Dinner for two at Le Cellier is at least $120 without tip, so days like this, adding on the $15 or whatever per attraction for a few times each month, doesn't bother me.
Be lucky they didn't go Universal's route and just say Lightening is like $99+. Maybe in 5-10 years we'll see this as demand grows and prices/inflation rise. The days of free Fastpass are over. Confirmed!
