Would you pay for a fastpass

Exactly my immediate response

No chance, they already ‘milk us’ for every penny.

If I could pay $100 on top of my FL Res Weekday AP ($310 approx) then I would go for it.

Any more than that and it's a nope. Just not worth it imo.

That is what I think! I wouldn't do it every day of a holiday of course, but I would allocate one or two days to do as much as possible.

Unfortunately going off the club level additional FP prices, there is no way they would sell an unlimited ride FP for $100. We have got 9 FPs each spread over three days for $150 each, the minimum spend.

You're right Claudette, they certainly won't do it for $100, but that would be my top price. Above that, no way.

They might just go the whole way. You book the ride and the time. Want smugglers run at 10am on a saturday - no problem, $200. Want it at 9pm on a tuesday, $50. Dynamic pricing...

Dont want to pay, no problem, join the 4 hour queue.

Might even try to sweeten it with a buy smugglers run, get 1 other tier 1 fp for free or something like that.

Is that 9 additional FPs for $150 per person? So, 18 FPs in total - 9 free FPs over 3 days plus 9 extra for $150? If so, that's just under $17 an FP. Which isn't too bad. It's the minimum spend that I'd find the main issue for me.

I can see Disney opening up this to everyone, not just those at Club Level. Get 3 free FPs per day, then the option to pay $50 per day for 3 additional FPs. Given that the system is already in place to do that, it should be reasonably simple to roll it out to others.

Yes so each of us has six fast passes a day for three days. The first three per day are "regular" FPs we would have had anyway, although we were able to book them at 76 days not 60 days. The other three are the ones we paid for which are not tiered and do not have to be in the same park. I don't think we will do more than three days of additional FPs.

There’s more to it than simply introducing paid fast passes. Disney on the main is rammed if they sell too many fast passes then it would no longer be a fast pass queue . The current system has limited number which keeps it down. If they start charging , economics would push the price up and up as demand would be huge for a limited number . Who really wants that. I visited universal yesterday and even with express passes I waited 30mins on a number of rides . Simply selling as many as they can takes away its effectiveness.

I’d agree here. We already do very little park time and this would finish our interest I think.
