Why Fastpass+ isn't the end of the world

Earlier today word went out that annual passholders will only be able to book 7 days worth of FPs in a 60 day period. Naturally, everybody on Twitter freaked out. What people didn't see was that this is a test. FP+ might be available to everybody now (RIP WDW FP, 1999-2014), but APs reserving in advance is just a test at the moment and nobody has been invited yet (that or Disney is inviting APs that aren't on social media). However, I still don't think this is the end of the world. You have to remember Magic Kingdom had tiers in the early FP+ tests and that doesn't exist in the current system. People are fussing over the fact you'll only be able to book 7 days in a 60 day period, when in reality if you go once a week you're only missing a week. Besides, how much do you really use FP? I went to WDW yesterday and managed to get quite a bit done without using FP. Lines were actually pretty manageable too, the longest wait I had was 15 minutes in the Test Track single rider line. I didn't ride everything I wanted to, but that's ok. Why? Because I'm a local. This is something a lot of locals forget, you live close to the parks so if you didn't ride something you know you'll be back. It's not like you're making a once in a lifetime vacation. Louis CK made this analogy with cell phones that it's amazing technology but we bitch that it isn't perfect (NSFW):

That essentially sums up people, especially locals, with FP+. It's not making the parks worse, it's the same damn thing it was before. Sure, that 1.5 billion could have gone to bigger and better things, but it's not that bad and it can actually help you too. For example, if you arrived to the park at 4 PM to ride a few rides and see Wishes/Illuminations/Fantasmic at 9, booking your 3 rides in advance will actually help you in case there's a long line for something. The kinks are still being worked out and there are far worse things to worry about like Disney building rides at a snail's pace, so CALM DOWN.
