Just got home and I am so happy to be in my own bed!
I will most likely never get around to writing a detailed trip report, but I did want to give my two cents on FP+.
For the way I tour, the time of year I go, and the people I travel with, FP+ totally worked for me. We rope drop every day, we only go during moderate-low crowds, we don't do EMH and we follow the park recommendations of EasyWDW. Only two of us like thrill rides, and we don't need to do them a million times, because we like to spend more time on rides the whole family enjoys.
Anyway, FP+ works for us. Honestly, we did not even need all of them every day. In Epcot and HS, we could have ridden standby on many of the rides we had FP for and the wait would not have been much longer, if at all. The only time we wished for more FPs was on our first MK day. We had a great morning, waits all under 10 or 20 minutes standby, but when afternoon hit, it was nuts. We had trouble finding lines we were willing to wait in. This was a crowd level of 4 and the 2nd most recommended park by EasyWDW. Our next day, MK was most recommended and had a crowd level of 3, and we had no problem with just 3 FP+.
I do see FP+ being a major issue at peak times, especially in MK if 3 continues to be the limit. But for people who can go in the off season and who tour smart, I actually think it's better than the old system because of its convenience.
