Can we just spectate? Less chance of spillage.

DisneyLand wishes they could accommodate your above desires, but your Bucket List was filled last July. :p: :D:

Kman, you have NEVER spectated - is this even a word? - in your life!! You are always square in the middle of everything! Even chaos. ;)

I think each park should have a central Fastpass distribution area with multiple machines. Each machine would be capable of dispensing a fastpass for any fastpass attraction via a menu selection. This way the ques for fastpass would not clutter the areas around the attractions! Just my 2 cents.

Seriously, does anyone know if they are giving out MORE FP since that new rule took effect? It sure seemed like it again last night, that line backed up quite a long ways, and even though the park was busy, there was still FP available 2 hours before closing.

I don't believe so. It's just now everyone has to return during the hour window instead of anytime after the window opens. What attraction was this? Some attractions don't run out of Fastpasses until very close to park close, if they run out at all. That and it varies depending on the crowd and all. Some days, even busy days, FPs for a particular attraction aren't very popular, especially later in the day.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Yep, this causes issues around show and parade dumps. Now everybody who just finished watching the 3:00 parade *has* to go use their FP before it runs out instead of trickling in over the next 20-30 minutes.

The last 2 hours are just so hectic on busy days, it drives me crazy how many FP comes through, and it always gets backed up.

I just got back from DL Paris. The FP window there is 30 minutes and strictly enforced. Also you cannot get a new FP until after the end time of the current FP.
