9. Having to decide on FastPasses and dining reservations in advance isn’t worth it.

Understandably so, many Disney guests are unhappy about having to reserve so much in advance.

However, assuming you are planning your trip at least a few months in advance, making reservations isn’t really that bad.

Within 30 seconds, you could probably decide which ones you are most excited to ride. Great! You’ve selected your 3 FastPasses for the day. You can change it later, should you change your mind.

Would it be amazing to choose which signature dining restaurant you’ll have 7pm dinner at at 6:30? Of course. This, however, isn’t reality.
