In theory, using the service should be pretty easy. In practice, I'd be wary of trusting Disney's historically finicky IT backbone.Heres to Genie+ Being easier to DO than to READ about.
(actually more like hoping)

Will be interesting to see how this plays out -
yes, because july is the dead of tourist season and all…. Spin all you want…. Hours were cut down… never mind the reduction in EMH
gone are the days of worries over the park not having enough downtime due to excessive late hours and early opening. And it’s not due to reduced forecasts…
I’m not trying to spin anything. I’m telling you facts. If you’re referring to post Covid…. Then yes. Hours have been cut for many reasons. But if you’re talking about pre Covid, not so much.
Which makes sense, if you look at Genie+ as basically the old paper FP system- you couldn't get one until the park opened back then either.If this be true, then this makes no difference if your first LL is scheduled for park opening.
Example:Park opens at 9:00a. At 7:00a, you grab a BTMR LL at 9:00a. When 9:00a comes around, your LL is due, freeing you up to grab a new LL as you head toward BTMR.
If this be true, then it does indeed make a difference if your first LL is later in the day.
Example:Park opens at 9:00a. At 7:00a, you grab a BTMR LL at Noon. When 9:00a comes around, *then* the timer starts, and you can't make a new LL until 11:00a.
I'm not talking post Covid.. as I already saidI’m not trying to spin anything. I’m telling you facts. If you’re referring to post Covid…. Then yes. Hours have been cut for many reasons. But if you’re talking about pre Covid, not so much.
Still no denying the reduced hours before pandemic and not just on party dates. The trend is real y0
I feel bad for CMs and guest relations soon with all of this
the fact that it is even more complicated than before is mind boggling and many will be frustrated
Exactly. It's no different then whey you refreshed for FP+What is complicated? IT issues aside which obviously would muck things up....
Open the app, go to Genie +, select all your group from friends/family, pick the lightning lane ride you want from the times given to you, wait 120 minutes (or check in ride - TBD) rinse and repeat. Or open the app, buy the ride you want out of what is available and schedule your own time.

i bet time before the park’s scheduled time won’t count for th cool down timer
So... why are they making people get up at 7am to book this? Why not just allow you to make your first LL at park opening?
Why though? I wouldn't. If my options at DHS were
SDD at 7pm
TOT at 12
RNRC at 11
SWGE at 11
TSMM, Alien, and ST and anything else before 11
I would be grabbing SDD at 7pm and be able to pick my next selection at 11am just like all the other good options. It's my only chance to skip the SDD line and I would think at 11am I would still have a shot at one of the other good rides. (assuming a 9am opening)
That's confirmed.or check in ride - TBD
It’s amazing how complicated they have made this new system.I feel bad for CMs and guest relations soon with all of this

I wasn’t referring to PM EMH at allThat is an interesting justification for the elimination of PM EMH.
I'm not talking post Covid.. as I already said
And yes hours have been cut.. it's been illustrated countless times. Spin away.. fact is Magic Kingdom was closing at 9 and 10pm during normal tourist seasons when just a short period before it would run to at least 11. And again, this is all before taking into account how EMH were eliminated for guests.
I don't know how many times people need to keep posting calendars from prior years to defeat these stupid denials.
FP+ could be modified and we had 30 to 60 days to modify to our plans.Exactly. It's no different then whey you refreshed for FP+
To pitch it as a "benefit" of staying on-site?So... why are they making people get up at 7am to book this? Why not just allow you to make your first LL at park opening?
You don't need to be on site to book Genie+ at 7am (just IAS)To pitch it as a "benefit" of staying on-site?
Whoops, though the 7am thing was just for ILL and everybody got in the Genie+ pool at park open. Don't know how I could mix up such a simple process!You don't need to be on site to book Genie+ at 7am (just IAS)
