Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

[CaptainAmerica]

And whose fault is that?

Disney could build three 10,000 seat arenas in Hollywood Studios and it ain't going to do a damn thing to reduce the number of people who want to ride Rise of the Resistance.

Except it completely blocks people from complimentary fastpass. And it doesn’t include major E ticket attractions.

therefore, it’s dumb and no one should pay for it.

We all knew complimentary fastpass was on its way out. Long before this announcement. And they’ve already said that it will include attractions like Thunder Mountain and Smugglers Run so it definitely does include some major E-tickets.

It is impossible for me to respond to this without using profanity, so I shall remain quiet to avoid being banned.

 

[MrPromey]

DON’T do it…ya brats

just don’t

Yeah, you can tell by the tone of comments on this thread that's already a lost cause. :/

Then why add anything to any park ever again?

 

[ColdSarsaparilla]

Just wait until only the rides that generate the most revenue get allocated a sufficient upkeep budget.

God help the CMs.

From the Touring Plans email I've just received:

Here’s the attractions we expect will be a la carte, although this has not yet been confirmed by Disney and is subject to change:

• Magic Kingdom: Space Mountain and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
• EPCOT: Test Track and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
• Hollywood Studios: Rise of the Resistance and Slinky Dog Dash
• Animal Kingdom: Flight of Passage and Kilimanjaro Safaris

 

[MrPromey]

The $15 will cover certain, but not all, attractions and allow you to select a time to enter the Lightning Lane (what a stupid name, BTW).

Don't worry, I'm sure it'll eventually just be called the USB-C lane but it'll probably take at least half a decade for them to get there, completely...

Surprised PPF didn’t make the list.

 

[Roy G. Dis]

Why can't Disney just build state-of-the-art, fun, long, crowd-pleasing rides that also have huge capacities?

 

[CaptainAmerica]

They need to raise prices (more). I just wish they'd do it in a normal way. Just make park tickets $20 more expensive instead of this convoluted bullcrap.

The same reason it takes them 3-5 years to build something that doesn’t work.

Dang it! The boarding group for Genie filled up in 6 seconds. Will have to try again tomorrow!

From the Touring Plans email I've just received:

Those aren't bad actually, but I'm surprised it's the Safari over Everest!

 

[flynnibus]

This announcement makes Boarding Groups obsolete.

Nope - they are keeping both options. virtual queues and lightning passes.

Genie+$

• Costs $15 per day per guest for day tickets. APs get it for free.

Did you see something that said APs free or is that wishful thinking?

 

[CaptainAmerica]

From the Touring Plans email I've just received:

Smart money says buy Genie+, rope drop these, and don't do ANY a la carte.

 

[NoOtherOptions]

Your response implies that any of this is surprising and honestly considering some of the ideas that were being bandied about seems the least criminal of all the options they had.

$15 for Aps
