    Default Fast Pass + Simple question: do you love it?

    I am getting really excited about the FP+ system and I was wondering what is the general consensus on it by people who have had a chance TO REALLY use it, that were used to the old system.

    Obv there is no longer an issue of people throwing a fit about not being able to use their FP after the window closes? Anyone have any tips of when they request which rides first, etc.

    Also if DH and I have a FP for say, Expedition Everest. Can we get in line with each our kids and do the whole parent swap thing
    Next trip - Sep29-Oct4! Free QS dining at POP. First trip with both kids. (6th total visit)

    The only issue I have with it is the app. Back when I used the app to use FP+ in November, it was not at all user friendly and I felt like I was using a lot of the trip trying to get the technology to work out correctly. I don't like spending vacation staring at my phone or trying to find FP+ kiosks.

    We were there in March and Loved It, changed FP+ on the go if we needed to on our phones. Can't wait for July to try FP+ 2.0

    We were there two weeks ago, and I don't know that I love it but it's not terrible. I had no problems with the app and the ability to change a FP from anywhere in the park was nice, but at the same time the stuff you really need/want FPs for are probably not going to be available if you are trying to do a same day edit.

    We were just there in April and I had mixed feelings before we went if I was going to like it. And I must say that we really did love using it. We were able to change times or attractions right from the convenience of our phone. I really liked knowing once we got to the park, we already had FP for the rides and didn't have to go running through the park to try and get a FP. I can't wait to go back and use it again...

    I really like the new system except only being able to pick 3 from same park. We always park hop so will be even happier if that is changed in near future.

    I'd be interested to see the like/dislike scale graphed by age of user. I'm not saying our seniors aren't tech savvy, but it has to be frustrating if you're not carrying a smart phone.

    This would be a very interesting stat to consider, also demographically by where guests are coming from (US versus UK, etc.) Undoubtedly more of the younger generations are carrying smartphones than seniors; however, I am the former (and a very happy smartphone user) & I just don't want to feel pressured to plan so far ahead. The tech I'm fine with, I love that part. If it were maybe a closer timeframe than 60 days...
