Just an FYI, at 10:15 AM Easter morning I was able to schedule Soarin for two people. I had several time slots to select from, some were early some were later. By 1:30 PM, I was not able to get one added for my mom (I had to get her pass to link to her account, to link to my friends & family). It was no biggie as we had to do child swap anyways, but I figured while I was linking her account I would check it out and they were gone by then. Easter I would say was moderate crowds. 40 min for malstrom, 5 to 10 for Mexico, Soarin was between 60 and 70 minutes later in the evening. Not sure what it was earlier. We were there around 7:15 PM.
For me this is the same as the old passes. If I got to the parks after 12 PM I could never get a fast pass for Soarin if the crowds were moderate to heavy. So now I get to ride Soarin which I didn't get to do as often before since we almost always got there later in the day.
On a side note, while at dinner I was talking to passholders (Germany shared tables) and they did not like the new system. They also did not understand the new system either. Which shocked me because he knew a lot (like they were changing it to be park hopping), but he didn't realize MK had no restrictions (you can get thunder, space, and splash). So he said he liked the old system better. But I think if he understood it better and with the new changes of allowing more FP after you use yours, he would like the new system better. All of his complaints weren't "True". However this does tell me that communication to passholders and day passes has not been the best.
