Yeah, I've heard about XPass. They keep trying to make people's trips more and more structured; I don't like the loss of spontaneity. I mean, granted, my friend and I used the Touring Plans to help guide us for our trips last year and this year, but we were there on off-season, so beyond using the crowd calendars to decide which park to go to on which day, we didn't even end up using the tour plans. I imagine XPass might be useful for on-season trips, though... I've been to Disney during its busy times, and boy, it's hard to get anything done with those crowds. But personally, having been to Disney World twice in two years, both in January... I'm never going any other month ever. LOL
I can understand the need for a pass-like system for people who maybe have only one or two days to spend at a park. I've personally just avoided the busy times at the parks I go to, and so I don't mind waiting upwards of 30-45min to ride a ride.
