    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    It doesn't sound like a problem, but purposeful design. I think Genie was never designed to cater to the repeat disney fans, who've been to the parks enough times to know where and when to go after seeing wait times ad crowds. Genie seems to be geared towards to new guests, or guests that go...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    Ironically, if they had just added Rise to G+ for now they could get away with the downtimes since G+ is not a promise you'll get the specific lines you want, despite paying up.

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    Would be interesting to check the regular line wait times on the days where people report the G+ worked out fine and they could pick the rides they wanted.

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    I understand not wanting to plan out in advance. But at the same time I can't imagine paying and not caring about whatever you get. Like, if I'm being spontaneous in a free fast line offering, comes the day and I find out none of the rides I'm into are available for fast line, and all I can...

    Why would anyone stay onsite at a WDW Resort anymore?

    With the constant price increases, and the decrease in amenities for onsite, I might go offsite for the first time next visit. I'll crunch some numbers, and if it turns out using uber (I dont drive) to and from the parks every day is cheaper than staying onsite, I might just do that. I do like...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    What boggles my mind the most is that G+ isn't just "paid FP+" but actively worse than FP+...and paid. With FP+, you could plan out your trip 30, maybe 60, days in advance -or any other day before your trip- so when you got to the parks it was just, arrive, enjoy. Now for G+ you're forced to...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    Yes. I think the "books a week to spend only half days at the park" guests are either those who live close by or hardcore fans who come over every year. An international guest isn't going to spend a day flying to the USA, on a trip they don't too often, just to spend half day at the park. And...

    News Swan and Dolphin Tower Expansion - The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve

    If I'm going out of my way to stay inside the Disney bubble and paying 3x the amount I would pay outside of it, clearly there's nothing I want more than to feel like I'm paying extra for the same generic stuff I find anywhere else on the globe.

    News Swan and Dolphin Tower Expansion - The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve

    Oh I agree, Disney is 100% at fault for allowing it. As I said they seem to be going through a low effort glass box phase right now. I hate it.

    Rumor Disney may be about to expand the use of virtual queue boarding groups at Walt Disney World

    Cant they integrate the now unused FP+ queues as part of the regular queue to keep the social distancing up without spilling out of the ride. It feels like money pinching schemes. Rather then work hard to use the FP+ space, might as well implement VQ instead and hope people will spend the non...

    News Swan and Dolphin Tower Expansion - The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve

    I wish it could have at least followed the color scheme of the rest of the S&D. Ideally it would all look the same, but if Disney has currently some sort of generic glass box kink, c'mon at least go with the same colors. If I didn't see the news here, I would 100% assume this is a new hotel...

    News Disney Park Pass System announced for Walt Disney World theme park reservations

    That seals it, no wdw vacation for me in 2021 either. I'm not paying regular price for not being able to go to the parks as much as I want.

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    Ah, behold the advancement of technology, here captured by these two rides side by side! On one hand, a decades old ride, built when technology was sparser and as such Imagineers could only create a basic, generic, warehouse box to contain the ride. Whereas on the other side we have the clear...

    Reservation system here to stay? Update from Josh D'Amaro

    I doubt FP+ will stay gone, even if it comes back different (or *shudders* paid only). Right now they stopped using FP+ because there is no need for it + gives them extra space to work with for the distancing. The moment attendance starts increasing again they'll want to bring back something...

    News Disney updates its legendary Four Keys model to include a fifth key

    >Safety, Courtesy, Show, and Efficiency Also knows as Avoid Lawsuits, Avoid Lawsuits, Convince Them to Pay More and Save Money I think Inclusion falls between "Avoid Lawsuits" and "Convince Them to Pay More" I always saw Inclusion as being inside Courtesy. Are you really acting courteous to...

    Honest question here, do I need a USA address to enter the virtual marathons?

    Mobile Order expands to table service restaurants and more quick service locations

    You tip because the waiter provided you service by: getting your orders form your table, placing them with the kitchen, bringing them to your table when ready, getting more orders (like extra drinks, coffee etc), then bringing you the bill. If the mobile order eliminates all of these as you...

    News Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin to eliminate 1136 employees

    I don't think convention hotels are the only ones suffering. I think we'll soon see any foreign tourist centric attraction/store/hotel going under, sadly. There are places a USA tourist in Orlando won't feel the need to go to, while foreigners lost it (ex: outlets & brazilians) Oh hey, Big 4...

    Mulan coming to Disney+

    It seems it's outside problems (comments made by lead actress, filming locations) were not all the issues the movie had. Not only it removed all the fun, it changed the story from a tale of of effort and perseverance to... magic makes you special! it's like they wanted Chinese Elsa, only without...
