I think the main reason for me, is that people seemed to shut up and listen more. With the recorded narration, people seem to just talk over it constantly. (though it could just be the overall move to more rude bahavior).

Believe it or not, A lot of DAS users already use Genie+, in addition to their DAS, to make their day easier. I don't know numbers, but I've heard it used as a strategy to truly up your chances of riding everything. So it might not change that much from new DAS rejections.

I feel like my crazy conspiracy theory came to life. I jokingly said when this started that Chapek agreed to be the fall guy for a ton of money. They wanted him to do all the bad stuff, charge everyone a ton of money, add in genie, take all the covid hits, then he'd be retired and they would...

We have done Swan with a pullout, the AOA nemo suites, and the riverside. two teens, male and female, and everyone wants their own space. Swan with a pullout was great, but we also adore the pool area there, and the hotel, in general. they just rolled a bed in for us for like $10-20 extra...

I don't know- paying for genie+ and hoping you get a few good passes sure feels like gambling to me... ;)

We went in August and had an ok to good time, not our best ever trip, but still pretty good. Missed characters and restaurants and some other magic, but it was understandable with Covid. Went in November for the run weekend, and had some fun, but the genie just decided for me that I'm not going...

We use lyft when we stay there for ak or mk, so I don't know about the buses. Transportation to hs and epcot are fantastic. The pool is amazing, the food is better than much of what is on property, the beds are better. It also has a great little quick service coffee shop, that has some great...

I've had an AP for a few years now- haven't received a survey.

My teens will be in the park without us. I'm wondering if one of them puts the genie app on their phone, will it still be connected under my genie? I am just wondering if they could do mobile ordering in the park on the app, but since it's still attached to my account, it can charge the cc...

I really like Toy Story Land/new rides. Genie has one good thing- it seems to work way better than the other old app, and it has mobile ordering and suggestions, looks cleaner, easier to navigate. I don't love the paying for ILL or genie +, but I'm actually liking the app update itself...

https://www.universalorlando.com/web/en/us/tickets-packages/vip-experience/vip-guided-tours Universal has VIP tours as well- group and private. It even includes some meals and backstage "experiences"

and no extra person added to talk to all day... ;) the one time we did a vip tour, it was...awkward (but I'm not a very good people-person).

and not being SURE months ahead, that you will absolutely be getting at least one ride on all the 'BIG/NEW' rides. At the 60 day mark, if I didn't get one ride on everything that mattered, I could cancel my whole trip. (and I also, made sure we got at least 2x the rides that mattered- Disney's...

Exactly. I am just. so. tired. bone tired. exhausted. I have the money. I'm in the zone of income they may be targeting. But I'm just . so. done. So tired of having to make this a hobby.. why? I go to Dublin, or Spain, or Aruba, it isn't this much WORK. Why should I do all this work, for...

The Uni pass needs no scheduling, which everyone always forgets. Uni pass I can just stroll from one to the next, and enter when I want. It is immensely more relaxing than trying to book things, then book more things. Also, it's included for "free" with a deluxe hotel, which is cheaper than a...
