There are still some tweaks to be made, but I was surprised how nice and relaxing(!) it made my vacation

    As noted, a real unexpected benefit of MM+ is the early hours in the parks. Instead of rushing around to collect FPs, you can just wander from one attraction to the next. And since so many guests are relying on FP+, it seemed like the parks were especially un-crowded early in the day

    As for the awkwardness of the wristbands, I found that mine fit my wrist better when I wore it "upside down", with the Mickey head facing away from me. It took a day or so to get used to having something on my wrist, but after that I barely noticed. My big complaint is that they don't have a watch add-on; I always wear a watch, so I wore my MB on my right wrist, which then became awkward with the finger scanners (right hand only!) at the park entrances and keypads at cashiers. If the MB doubled as a watch, I could wear it on the left and eliminate those (admittedly minor) problems

The lines appear to be significantly longer and it is no longer easy to find a ride with a short wait. From my perspective, this is a lose-lose, especially for the "let's stop over at the World today" folks.
