    It's should be simple enough, you can't get a FP until you enter a gate.

    As nice as that may sound, it would be a detriment to any who could, or would, not be at the park within an hour of rope drop. That was always the case for the "Tier 1" attractions when the 'paper' FastPass system was in place.

    There is no way to make everyone happy, no matter the system used. Just remember that you are in Walt Disney World and that you know the 'system' better than most...and smile!!!!

    Not true. Not true at all. FPs can rationed out during the course of the day.

    And trust me, if it wasn't because my wife enjoyed it so much, I would never set foot in a Disney park again. FP minus ruined it by turning a vacation into a job you have to pay to go to.

    We were just in Disneyland and they still do it that way. Let me tell you, it's wonderful. You can pay an extra fee for MAXPASS to be able to select FPs on the phone app rather that go to the physical locations, and it included PhotoPass pics. We were able to get so much done.

    I was able to get a lot more done in a day with the old Fastpass system in WDW than I am these days with FP+ and rides having FP that don't need it. Maxpass is essential digital legacy Fastpass and it works. Now, everything isn't even as crowds have steadily increased and I'm also carting a 4 year old around these day, but having just been in WDW in November and now Disneyland in April with pretty big crowds at both places, Maxpass made the crowds a lot more bearable. The attraction count at Disneyland Park and Magic Kingdom are pretty comparable.

    I love Maxpass. The price includes your photos and scheduling fastpass on your phone once you are in the park is so convenient.
    I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.
