You most likely wouldn't get those two attractions though. You'd go to get a fastpass, and often find that the return time is after you would leave or they are out, so you either stand in the standby line or find something else. I also don't see that you're wait times for non fastpass attractions is realistic. I rarely, if ever, see queues as low as 15 minutes, and when I do, it is an attraction that can really push people through in high quantity like Buzz Lightyear.WEDFan wrote:To me it seems like you are almost guaranteed to wait less time. As a simple example, say I only had an hour and a half at the park. Without Fastpass, I do one E-ticket ride. 60 minutes waiting 15 minutes on an attraction. 15 minutes free. With Fastpass, I do one E and one C. 10 minutes getting my FP, 30 minutes waiting (15 and 15), 30 minutes on an attraction (15 and 15), 20 minutes Free. Now expand that throughout a day. I'm there for the same amount of time, but my wait time is reduced and I did more things, so wait/attraction average is even less. And that's why I think most of the perceptions will be positive.
When I see wait times consistently at or above an hour on non fastpass rides I just don't see fastpass saving any time. Then when I see CMs holding back standby people because they don't have fastpasses to send through to meet the ratio I know there are problems that aren't considered in the theory, if you are in that line you are waiting longer. This is a variable that can not be predicted and causes major problems. I think these situations are what result in most people getting angry about fastpass(it's the only time I've been angry about fastpass going ahead).
As for the 1 or 2 fastpasses per day, in order to get more than that you have to focus simply on getting fastpasses whenever you can. Get to the park at opening, get a fastpass, do something for an hour, get a fastpass, do something for an hour, get a fastpass. By now the park has been open for 2 hours, what are the chances that fastpasses are gone or at a time that will not be good? Very high, at least in my experience. I personally don't like to do that, I like to do things as they come up, I don't want to spend the day focused on getting and using fastpasses, constantly checking my watch to see if it's been an hour yet.
