The bags are almost identical this year to last year as far as I can tell. Agree with @TheMaxRebo regarding the number of trails to fill the bags.

Matched our collection. Glad we didn't miss out on anything (where are the Reese's, Disney?). Felt like 50% of our candy was some version of Milky Way, but plenty of skittles and starburst too.

I went to the party last night. In general your itinerary seems pretty good to me. I can't provide a lot of help because we didn't meet any characters, but I can give some info in case it helps. We also went to Steakhouse 71 for lunch (1:30pm -- Our waiter was great and everyone was happy with...

Currently down. Just after we were called but before we made it there so hopefully it won't last long

True it is easy to get a boarding group now, but going off what @gerarar said just above, they're never reaching the end of all the boarding groups that were given out. So there are still more people at least requesting a ride than the daily capacity. I don't know what goes into Disney's...

Crowd levels are about to rise in 2 weeks, so maybe they are holding out to see how the numbers look at that point? I remember Rise had some instances with VQ where they opened up stand by at the end of the day. It seems like they could at least do that now?

Do your kids have phones or did you pair them to our own? Will they be able to both play bounty hunters game and wave at statues at the same time? Do they need to have your phone with them? I've got 2 kids without their own MDE accounts and with MB+, while the 2 of us adults just have MB2...

Did you spend any time refreshing the tip board after scanning into a genie+ line to see if a better option popped up for your next choice? Some people report success spending 10-15 minutes refreshing and then scoring a good next ride. E.g. maybe Haunted Mansion initially showed 5pm but after...

I don't mean this in a snarky way. I legitimately want to know what I'm forgetting/missing. If you don't care about the interactive items (games, statues, fireworks syncing), why would you bother to get MB+? What needs to be re-charged?

Looks like the first party to sell out in 2019 was Sep. 27th, and it sold out on Sep. 25th. I'm hopeful that means the capacity is lower this year than 2019. But my gut says it's not likely...

Two weeks until the former ILL rides go back to ILL according to the Genie+ disclaimer. Space Mountain, Remy, Frozen, Mickey&Minnie Railway, and Expedition Everest. Anyone making predictions? Seems like it would be a pretty big mistake to remove more capacity from Genie+. I get that late...

I'm also curious if there are now any limits in place for the number of sales of Genie+ each day.

Also (at least in my memory) FP+ was advertised as 3 passes. G+ is advertised much more as just skip lines all day long...even though they've had to add the "expect only 2 or 3" message after the mass frustration. Add that to the above points about getting what you paid for. PLUS (I still...

All of that makes sense, but it assumes a constant LL to standby ratio throughout the hour and/or throughout the day. I've read before that cast members are instructed to adjust the ratio they are admitting onto the ride based on the FP queue length. It seems plausible that Disney could have...

If that's the case then I don't see the limit helping any of the issues being discussed here. I get it would save those late arrivers from needing refunds, but is that significant? The issues are plenty just with the 7am race to book first LLs of the day and then getting enough rides the rest...
