goes to Genie+, clicks play on Magic Kingdom Audio Experience

This is what you hear when you hit play...

And in common sense faq... it says "Disney won't really be able to tell any more then they do today... and Disney doesn't want to face a discrimination lawsuit for actually denying services... so this is really just a bluff that Disney could never exercise until AFTER a court case"

Sure this could debunk the old push your friends in a wheelchair thing - but DAS abuse is so far beyond that these days. Everyone has special needs...

Truth. I have really bad anxiety so maybe I’ll hop on a video call for free genie passes on my next trip!

So basically its like this

Genie: = My Disney Experience Remixed and uipdated
Genie+: "Pay Per View" add on ?

No.

Genie: = My Disney Experience Remixed and uipdated
Genie+: Old FastPass, excluding the two biggest rides per park, pay once for the whole day and use unlimited (one at a time).
Lightning Lane: Pay-per-ride for the two biggest rides in each park.

So how is the news going on Twitter and Facebook? I haven't had a chance to check.

You would think from the comments that people are now going to stop coming but they won’t. They’ll complain and still pay it anyway, like always

Not well, the Facebook post is nothing but complaints.

Let me get this straight - you know your child has issues with patience, temper tantrums in public, and having to wait. Hmmmm....where should I take him to inflict pain and misery on both him and those innocent people around him? I know! I'll take him to the one place in the world where you are guaranteed to have to wait and have patience in crowds! Disney World! Brilliant!

Are you this friendly in person?

They don't seem to comprehend it.

Like they literally don't get how it works.

They hate it but they don't know why.

Just keep on kicking Karma in the shorts, Disney. A new variant could shut you miserable blood-suckers down at any time.

 

[dreday3]

Yep. Especially if you’re staying onsite and can get one of those done in the first 30 minutes.

Exactly.

Get to MK 30 minutes early and jump in line for Space (or Mine Train), and have your first Tier 2 ride booked.

OK so say I want to ride, ohh..... Big Thunder Mountain, without paying to do so, will that ride still have standby ? will any of the biggest rides Test Track, Any of the Mountains, Tron, MMRR, Star Tours, ToT, or Rise still have boarding groups {for Rise} or basic standby ?

That’s assuming we can get the app to work

Well that's just stupid to put out in the universe...

 

[DCBaker]

So as far as hopping...

If we are in MK and know we are leaving to go to Epcot - we can book our next ride at Epcot from MK?

See here -

 

[Eriewolfeman]

So $15 per ticket for unlimited? I was expecting worse.

Yes, but not really unlimited as some rides wont be included and you have to pay between 4 and 20 dollars each for in addition to the $15 each day. Also, you can only hold one reservation at a time in Genie+. Then, can you imagine system crash at 7am each day when everybody in the resorts is accessing the app to select their rides and also pay for 2 exclusive rides? What a nightmare…my buddy couldnt get on last week just for virtual queues that are free for everybody. No way app will handle..better bring extra batteries for phone cause you will use it all day if you dont want to wait in 90 to 120 minute wait lines…

DAS was fine when fast pass was free, but now that people using DAS will be getting the benefits for free while everyone else has to pay that is not equal treatment. This is going to be quite the cluster for Disney.

I needed this laugh, thanks

Not good. Di$ney is getting hammered

 

[jpinkc]

I’m coming into this all late and I haven’t had a chance to read everything yet. What happens if you don’t purchase the $15/day add on? Do you just stand by everything??

Until they close the Stand by

Complaints galore with a side of confusion. Some are glad but they definitely seem like the minority right now. We know it won't make a difference in the end though.
