Same here!
Whever we get to that ride, the Fastpass return time is already several hours away, at which time we would be getting ready for dinner!

I`m darned if I am going to get there at park opening though, just for that one ride,

Totally agree!

We've only ridden it once.

Exactly my feeling!

We do usually get to parks for opening just don't spend a lot of time at DHS

In a post by Tom Staggs over on the Disney Parks Blog today, they're making a big deal out of this new system. I made the following comment on his post:

While I applaud the effort, I’ve got concerns about the FastPass+ system.

Just like the dining plan, unless I book my dining way in advance of my trip, I stand a good chance of not being able to get the reservations I want. Personally, I don’t know months in advance what I want to eat.

I’m afraid the FastPass+ system is going to end up the same way. Unless I book my FastPasses months in advance, I may not be able to find an available time to ride specific attractions. To some degree, this happens today. Just look how many times you try to get a FastPass to an attraction like Soarin’ and find out there aren’t any.

Perhaps I’m just missing something in this but for me it’s a bit of a concern. And it’s going to take away a bit of the carefree spontaneity that has long contributed to the fun of a Disney vacation.

It will be interesting to see if my comments make it pass the moderation stage or if they basically tell me to sit down and shut up.
