Personally I have seen more people turned away when they have approached an attraction with a wrong FP time or a wrong attraction. All in all I have found the CM's pretty good about keeping guests moving thru the lines and have been rather patient with guests trying to figure out the system. I personally love the new system. It has allowed my to ride attractions I haven't ridden in years such as Peter Pans Flight. I will also say that the system works better in some parks over others just due to the number of available attractions. We recently opted not to use FP+ at EPCOT after several months of riding the attractions available on FP+

And I am a very patient person. If it was to me, I would eradicate Fastpass altogether and return to the tried and true waiting in line like we used to do, but I also come to understand that Fastpass+ has been a huge improvement for guests convenience. ALL I AM ASKING FOR IS FOR CAST MEMBERS TO DO THEIR JOB AND PROPERLY ADMINISTER THE RULES OF THE SYSTEM. IF GUESTS ARE NOT LEGAL TO ACCESS THEY LINE THEN THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED PERIOD. >>>>I am guessing the cast members have been instructed to practice some common sense and choosing to Not send a large party backwards thru the line was the chosen alternative.<<< I don't know if they have been since training at WDW is mediocre but choosing to circumnavigate the system manually is not common sense to me. More a breakdown in procedures, and when I see it, I will report the CM by name even if I have to stand in line 20 mins to see someone in Guest Relations. >>>Have you not noticed they have been instructed to "hold" table reservations system-wide due to all the construction??? If you walk up to a restaurant they will tell you flat out Not taking walk-ins and you see a lot of empty tables... they are holding them open ... cause of all the construction the busses are having to manipulate on property plus they have the $10 No show fee to cushion the cost<<<< I don't eat at sit down restaurants at WDW, they are incredibly overpriced so I don't bother as it doesn't make my visit there any more magical. So NO I don't know if they hold tables or not. Not a good example to make your point across with me. Sorry.

As far as cast members letting people through when it isn't their time, my guess is that the cast members are told to give some leeway because of the new magic band system. And really, why does it make you so unreasonable angry? I could see how it could be frustrating, for sure, but you seem to be taking it quite personally. Obviously, you can have any opinions you want, and are free to post whatever you like. I am in no way saying otherwise, but I really am curious as to why you keep going to WDW if you have nothing but negative feelings about it.

Originally Posted By TDLFAN >>>Just out of curiosity TDLFAN, why do you continue to go to WDW?<<< Hmmm maybe because unlike many of you I can afford an AP and also because I CAN? >>>I have never seen you post a single nice thing about the WDW parks. If everything sucks about it so much, why do you keep going?<<< Again, BECAUSE I CAN. But I should ask out of curiosity, are you a lazy princess (now that's a dream title) who really do not read everything I post? But I don't care honestly what you choose to read here that is contained within my code name. This is America, you can skip over my posts as much as I can comment on the Mouse's Florida blunders and hits. As if..

Personally, I think your question is offensive to any woman who has accidentally lost a child or dealt with a child having mental development problems due to such unfortunate traumas. You want to take me on? That's fine but don't do it at the expense of a comment that can be sensitive to people who have dealt with similar incidents. For your information, my aunt lost her child when he fell head first out of the crib 38 years ago. That comment is extremely offensive to. If that's what you wanted to accomplish then you won. You can call me anything you want, ANYTHING, just like I call you out for your ignorance at times and for being a Disney apologist in many levels, but don't attack me at the expense of people who have suffered accidental trauma. I think it only shows what my opinion of you is even more on target. Bow to some good news.. Rode Everest the other day and guess what?! The bird on the stick is BACK on top of the mountain. I am elated because that's more than I expect from WDW's maintenance so it was a pleasant surprise. Too bad the Yeti AA itself remains inop. But hey.. it's a sign of better things to come I hope.

Either there is something mentally wrong with you or you're deliberately being a bully. You've repeatedly ridiculed me for absolutely no reason just as you did to Princessjean in post 26, and I intend to call you out each and every time you do it. "That's fine but don't do it at the expense of a comment that can be sensitive to people who have dealt with similar incidents." Save it for the suckers. The holier-than-thou act isn't fooling anybody.

Very nice in comparison with the past. Very nice.

You may be able to afford an AP, but unfortunately money can't buy you things such as common sense.

How the times have changed! I've also heard a rumor that apparently the Yeti can be fixed without shutting down the attraction (contrary to common fan info) and that they're starting to think about finally getting around to it. I would hope that DAK gets a DCA-esque Project Sparkle, and gets everything in top shape before Rivers of Light and Avatar open and (hopefully) bring in the big crowds
