Has HS always been tiered?

What a crappy selection to pick for HS. I honestly didn't remember the tiers when I booked our last trip. Is this new or am I just forgetful?

[Katman1356...Jason 1,140]

Always been tiered. I always have to work around it for me and Sil.

I guess I forgot because it's so crappy. Good thing we have some extra magic bands around

[BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023]

Yep, always crappily tiered.

[GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799]

Yep

Not so fast, y'all.

 

Tiers were not a thing for the first few months after they started with the FP+ mess.

 

And, for a very brief period after they introduced tiers, there was a glitch that allowed things like this to happen:

 

 

But, since early 2014, the tiers have been in place at Epcot and DHS.

They really need to pull this tier crap. Especially now with Sorin down and HS soon to become a huge mess

I'd even be happy with 2 picks for the first tier for HS or reclassify TgMR to tier 2. I don't think it belongs in the same class as Toy Story. I would think it moves a lot of people? Or is there a big delay between sending the cars out?

Neither The Great Movie Ride or Fantasmic belong in Tier 1, but they have to have them there so every guest can get a Tier One choice.  The Toy Story and RNRC FP+'s often run out well in advance.  This way, they can still offer a Tier One FP+ to all guests.

 

Same deal at Epcot with Living with the Land, Illuminations and that meet and greet.  Those are only in Tier One because they have nothing else to offer.

Im surprised they haven't made the Darth and Chewie meet and greets a tier 1 FP selection.

I just went and I thought EPCOT was the only tiered one. Did not have a problem with HS, but really the only one we want is TSMM. We did get that & ToT. I guess those are different tiers? I was annoyed that we couldn't use our ToT replacement FP on TSMM. That seems like a tier issue.  Now I'm confused.

TOT is Tier two at DHS. Tier One is TSMM, RNRC, Great Movie Ride, the Beauty and the Beast show (why?) and Fantasmic.
