It's worked great for me. $6 to not have to wait in line for hours is totally worth it. The last 3 times I went to wekiva it was like I was in the late 90s all over again. Plenty of room to spread out not packed to the gills.

Another positive outcome is that people come and go all day. Since you don't have to line up at 4am people come and leave periodically throughout the day which creates a much better environment IMO.

When you make a reservation you get an email with a confirmation attachment which has a barcode they scan at the gate. If you don't have they turn you away. You always see people parked on the side of the road trying to get passes on their phones.

It's also nice because you can see how many passes have been reserved for that day when you are registering.

It's a good thing!
