as a regular AP holder, a DVC member, and a frequent visitor for over 20 years, if I was unable to get Genie+ for whatever reason and have to use standby lines all day, the Disney park experience is now much less value to me based on my previous experiences.
People staying at deluxes should be livid they don't get G+ included. But somehow they keep paying those absurd rates anyway.
Right there with you. I could rant about my Genie+ experience all day. It just wasn't worth paying for, period. I perceived close to zero value -- unless you count getting to walk onto Pirates when the stand by was only 20 minutes, then yeah, some value exists.
Neither is true
I agree. A common complaint with RotR boarding groups was, “I’m putting out all this money for a trip but I won’t know if we’ll get to do this until we actually show up?” This aspect of Genie will be a major gripe now.
I was simplifying it. The point is, the inventory will be set and that will include all grandfathered pre-purchases and same day purchases.
We booked Rise for 1:05 and were confirmed for 3:40, which didn't work well for us. Then the ride went down and 2 of our party of 6 were unable to ride. They gave us a refund with because we had to leave the park before the ride resumed operation. I noticed extremely long lines at guest service locations this past trip.
Exactly. They can survey people all they want but unless they really listen to guests and especially repeat guests they won’t have a clue
100% agree...G+ is worse in EVERY way than FP+
They are going create a new problem or more by fixing a problem this way
My concern here is that by limiting the sales they will drive up demand, so you might then anger the people who are having trouble getting it early plus those showing up at 10 when the lines are already starting to back up and didn't have a chance. Now I do get that the lines should be doing better if fewer people are purchasing it, but we still might have that "fast finger" problem that we have with all VQ's if they limit this too much early on.
I disagree. I think the problem is everyone is so used to FP+ and it being available to everyone. Skip the line systems work best when it has limited availability.
It isn't ideal but there need to be limits or class privileges (60 day resort FP+ selections) in some way. A free for all just won't work unless you substantially increase the price.My concern here is that by limiting the sales they will drive up demand, so you might then anger the people who are having trouble getting it early plus those showing up at 10 when the lines are already starting to back up and didn't have a chance.

This is my biggest question too........
It should be 3:47 AM, not a minute earlier and not a minute later.
