If you know how to use it it's awesome. Always start with the 3 biggest rides in each park

Pros:

Can move up the time of your first 3 fastpasses

Cons:

Can be confusing for some and the tier options are annoying

Love being able to book fastpasses up to 60 days in whatever park I choose.

Pros:

Can choose up to 60 days, can choose 3 from the start then more as you use them up, all popular rides have fastpass, it’s convenient

Cons:

All the tiers- especially at Epcot and Hollywood studios

Convenience!

Pros:

It was nice to plan some of our rides ahead of time at home and then plan more after using the first three.

Cons:

Some popular rides can run out of fastpasses quickly.

Love the Fastpass system - I didn’t know much about it until a couple of weeks before we went, but still managed to get some decent fast passes ahead of time. I watch fast pass YouTube tutorials and read blogs etc and literllay became an expert before we went, there were two of us both adults visiting st a very busy time (around Presidents’ Day) - I loved the app (although it crashes quite a lot) and through perseverance managed to get all the fast passes I wanted. On the day we visited Magic Kingdom we managed an amazing 15 FastPass sea including Seven Dwarves and Peter Pan. We got 3 for Slinky and 2 Toy Story Mania on the same day, best of all we did flights of passage twice and could have had a third fast pass - the line was a crazy 225 minutes! Basically you need to read the blogs and hacks etc and as soon as you’ve swiped in on your third fast pass of the day get in the app and start refreshing! I generally managed to book the next fastpass for literally when we got off the ride we were in line for. The only gas pass I didn’t see come up more than once in a day was Frozen in Epcot but we still managed to do it once. The only downside which is why I knock a point off is if you aren’t mobile / cell phone / app savvy you are st a disadvantage.

Pros:

Walked straight on to 15 rides in a day in MK using FP+

Cons:

Need to be attached to your phone constantly refreshing for new FPs

When Disney first introduced the fast pass it worked well. However once you start mucking with it - the headaches start. We were in the standby line for splash mountain and we all stood still while the cast members put through more fast pass people then standby instead of balancing it. It was very frustrating and in fact someone in line video taped the entire thing and told the cast member he was going to send it to guest services. Yes, over our 10 days at disney we did use fast passes but we had to figure out 2 months in advance what and when we wanted them. Even then the selections were slim and we were up early to go online to get them. Plus you can only choose 3 and they can't all be in the same category. Well, when there is a 16 year old roller coaster nut in your group it makes it difficult to get a fast pass for both pandora and everest. This program needs a re-vamp and a lot of thinking into how to handle both the fast pass and standyby lines to keep ALL guests happy. I would recommend it if you had more flexibility.

Pros:

Makes it easier when you have small children

Cons:

Have to choose in advance Can't choose 3 from same category

We used the FastPass system yesterday on a trip to Magic Kingdom. We were unsure of what day we were to be able to go so we were walking in without anything booked until park opening. Of course the big attractions were not available (Seven Dwarfs, Splash Mountain, ect) but we were optimistic that we would still have plenty of ride opportunities thru the day even if we had to wait a bit. Well, we were wrong! All the wait times were astronomical and the park wasn’t even crazy crowded. The line attendees would let 2 or 3 families thru, and then literally 30 people with FastPass. Most wait times were 65-105 minutes! We have been going to Disney for 16 years now and have never experienced such an awful experience. Basically Disney punishes those who don’t plan their vacation weeks and weeks in advance and if you don’t commit to your day we’ll in advance, you’re likely to be spending your whole day in lines only to ride 6-7 rides. For over $100 a ticket, that’s pretty ridiculous. Also, with Florida’s unpredictability in weather, it use to be nice to move your park days around if rain chances went from 10% to 90% in 24 hours and you were facing huge downpours to continue to commit to your park day. If you’re going to give preference and privilege to those who book weeks in advance, give a ‘last minute trip’ customer a discount. We could not be any more disgusted with the new system and will definitely be looking into other attractions that more fairly treat their well paying customers.

Pros:

Wonderful experience if you’re game to plan every minute of your vacation weeks or months in advance and have zero flexibility in your time at the parks.

Cons:

No flexibility, no opportunity for decent wait times unless planned far in adavance.

FastPass+ makes planning your trip super convenient and efficient. If you make the reservations early enough, you guarantee yourself a short wait for the best rides. The drawback is typically you can only get a fast pass for your favorite rides once a day. I also don't like the tiers because many of the rides or experiences in the lower tiers do not require fast passes.

Pros:

Convenience, efficiency, guarantees short wait for popular rides

Cons:

Limits the number of fast passes for popular rides, can only start with 3 and by the time you use your 3, the popular rides don't have anymore fast passes available
