But again, I'll never pay for a FP.

Mark it down, it is in all liklihood coming...
Originally Posted By danyoung >I'll never pay for a FP.< I'm not wild about the possibility. But depending on the park and the situation and the cost, I'd pay 10 bucks to get a FP ticket that's good for each of the big attractions in that park. I'd rather not, but I'd probably do it.

Originally Posted By MPierce Fast Pass really doesn't effect me. We used 1 for TSMM, and that was it. I would much rather spend my time at WDW looking at all the details, and just enjoying the ambience. The attractions are really very secondary to me. Some of my happiest moments are spent in the lobby or walking the grounds or sitting on my balcony watching, and listening to the boats come, and go at Wilderness Lodge. So when the time comes for pay-for-play fast pass, I will be keeping my money.
Originally Posted By demderedoseguys ^^ Same with me. Sometimes my wife and I just walk into the parks just to go for a stroll and look at all the detail. After going for over 30 years, it still amazes me that we always find something that we've always overlooked during past trips. Of course, there are many times when I point something "new" out to my wife only to have her tell me that she's always known it was there.

Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 I heard the Central FP deal was originally going to happen because of all of the Tour Groups (mostly South America) that descend on WDW this time of year.

I have learned to avoid the Target by me for the same reason I do have to say getting full mooned by one of the members of a group at Epcot as she attempted to access her money belt (that had apparently traveled umm south) is an experience I wish to never happen again... -em
