I miss the old system of scanning your ticket at the particular ride and getting a ticket to return later. My kids loved waiting for the ticket to pop out.

Pros:

Being able to set up a schedule in advance.

Cons:

The old system just seemed fairer to everyone having a shot at the most popular attractions.

FastPass+

Pros:

Good when you can get them.

Cons:

There shouldn't be FastPasses for rides that are continuous moving. This does nothing but slow the whole ride down.

Fastpass+ can make a Disney World vacation more enjoyable given some thoughtful planning and flexibility. During busy seasons, FP+ allows guests to ensure they won't have to miss their favorite rides due to long wait times. It also can help guests plan their visits, offering a set of landmarks around which to revolve all other activities. At its best, FP+ creates a sense of ease and playful anticipation. If Fastpass+ is an option for you, it's crazy not to take advantage of it!

Pros:

Skip long lines. Hit all the attractions you want. Grab more on the fly. Reduce stress. Plan ahead.

Cons:

Too restrictive for some. Challenge to find times guests need during busy seasons.

We haven't been to Disney for a few years and this was our first experience with the new FastPass. We were incredibly disappointed with it. It makes visiting the parks stressful and we were constantly looking at our phones and watches. It takes away from the magic of the experience. I have been there at peak times before and I feel like it changed the flow of the lines and made it worse. I love Disney, but this was very poorly thought out.

Pros:

none

Cons:

all

I have been an Annual Pass holder for 6 years. I have tried at least 4-5 times a week to get a fast pass for Avatar since it opened. Since I can only get a fast pass 30 days in advance, they are all taken. The earliest I can get Toy Story is usually 2 - 3 PM. I will not be renewing my fast passes this year. Going to Universal as they provide premium pass holders with skip the line after 4 at no additional cost.

Pros:

Short line for 3 rides

Cons:

If not staying at a hotel, you can't get any good rides

I hate this horrible system. Disney came up with this system solely for their own benefit -squeeze more people into the park by spreading them out into attractions they don't really want to be in.

Unless you plan two months in advance, forget about riding your favorite attraction without a 2+ hour wait.

If you are a local AP holder, you can forget about enjoying last minute trips because FPs are not available.

Horrible horrible system

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Everything

Well, it's the only game in town, so if you want to ride any of the big attractions - Flights of Passage (which was amazing), Tower of Terror, Rock 'N Roller Coaster, Soarin', etc. then you need to get fastpasses for them. What I don't like is the impact it seems to have on wait times overall. Pirates of the Caribbean, for the first time in my experience, had wait times of 45-60 minutes. Since when does that happen? Similar for other less popular attractions. Hollywood Studios was a bit of a disaster. I love the two big rides there (mentioned above), but RRC broke down, so wait times for TOT were 90-120 minutes before 10am. Toy Story was also over 60 minutes. On a Wednesday in October. While waiting for my fastpasses to kick in, I literally had nothing to do. I don't think Disney is managing its wait times very well right now.

Pros:

Only way to ride some attractions

Cons:

Wait times

The whole idea of booking Fastpasses in advance is great if you are able to plan a lot of your trip in advance, and it is great to have them waiting for when you arrive your first day. But the wristbands/ booking Fastpasss online reduces the amount of rides you can go on. The entire three days we were there, we went about ten rides. There were days where we would go on only three or four rides the whole day. The one exception was Test Track because of the single rider line. One time we had several Fastpasses for the evening at the Hollywood Studios(For Star Tours and Toy Story Mania). We wanted to go on Soarin in the morning. I asked at the front desk if we could get Fastpasses in multiple parks. The person said yes. This turned out to be not true. While at Epcot, I asked several cast members if I could make try to get a new Fastpass for Soarin while keeping the Disney Hollywood Studios Fastpasses. The cast members implied I could. This was not true. I ended up losing the Disney Hollywood Studios Fastpasses and all the Soarin Fastpasses were already booked. We waited on the standby line for over an hour for Soarin and did not get to go on Star Tours or Toy Story Mania. How could the cast members be so wrong? It is possible I didn't ask the question correctly but I doubt it. In all the years I have been to Walt Disney World is the first time the cast members actually provided me with misinformation.
One thing is for sure, I agree the main idea is to have guests stay longer.​

Pros:

Can book Fastpass in advance, and have them waiting for you when you arrive. Was able to walk directly onto Soarin with no wait the first day

Cons:

Reduces the amount of rides you can go on, cast member did not explain it correctly

We went the first time in 2014 using the FP system and we love it. I had surgery on my ankle now 5 years ago and it is hard for me to stand in same spot for long periods of time. So this way I dont have to wait as long. I do think that you should be able to pick fast passes for different parks at same time. Like Expediation Everest in the morning at AK and then later afternoon pick Soaring and Mission Space. I know you can choose them after you use the ones at AK but it would be nice. Also the Tiers should be more flexible like MK does. Soaring/Test Track and Forever after in the same Tier. And Rocking roller coaster and Toy Story Mania in the same Tier and these you can only choose one. other than that I love the no wait or very little

Pros:

Love it

Cons:

cannot use in diff parks the same time
