Re: Rumors from other website- this is good!

Honestly, this is an issue for me.

The last time (make that the only time!) we went to US/IOA, they had a system where people staying at their hotels could waltz up and hop on a ride. It was like FP on steroids. I was extremely inconvenienced and jealous.

How is it different than FP, you ask? Because FP is for anyone and everyone who cares to use it. And for those of you who think that FP gives people an unfair perk, just think about how it was before FP -- All those people would have been in line in front of you anyway! All FP does is contribute to a beneficial crowd control -- instead of having longer lines, it allows people who got there before you to leave the line and come back later. And everyone knows the deal, and everyone can take advantage of it.

The US/IOA method is just a perk for onsite hotels. Great marketing for them, but hey, we ALL paid to go into the parks, and we ALL paid for a hotel somewhere.

Just one of the reasons I didn't care for US/IOA.
