    I'd rather pay then get the BG for Remy. From what I hear The BG is like a standby pass anyway. You wait up to an hour to for the ride at times. And you have no option what time you get. And if you do not get it the BG your only option is to pay anyway. Remy is an exception to the rule in my...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Why would a resort guest have any advantage? SDD is on the Genie + tier and not an ILL. First Genie + ride can be selected at 7am for all guests in or off site. However, SDD is a very high demand ride and quickly becomes unavailable. At 7am keep refreshing every few seconds until 7:20 ( and...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I have to wonder if the party size changes the time. So if we wll see the same thing and there is a time of 4:30 pm for SDD, and I want to book ot for 5 guests while someone else wants to book it for 2, I might get bumped to a later time because it does not have the availability for 5 guests...

    And RNRC and ToT were available all week after 11 AM. They were for much later in the night like 7 or 8 pm. I have screenshots because I wanted to see if I can compare New Years week to this past one. Even SDD if you refreshed constantly up until about 7:30 you would see times. Soarin in...

    Sorry to hear that it did not work out for you. You certainly are not the first one and will not be the last either. I'll soon find out myself on New Years week. However, I cannot imagine a scenario where you got zero rides at Epcot...was Genie + not functioning properly? I mean maybe not Test...

    Boatwright’s Dining Hall and Story Book Dining to reopen

    Boatwright's is not character dining. It just so happens that is is opening at or around the same time as Storybook Dining at Artist Point.

    Boatwright’s Dining Hall and Story Book Dining to reopen

    I believe it was $60. And I will say it was worth it then! It is a unique character dining experience with rare characters you cannot meet elsewhere (other than Snow White). But in my opinion, it is not the same with character sightings. Nor without the Queen meeting separately.

    Boatwright’s Dining Hall and Story Book Dining to reopen

    Storybook Dining was on our must do list pre-covid. I'm excited to hear it is reopening before the holiday season. This is one character meal I really wish they could come to the tables for hugs and photos and that the Evil Queen met separately. Otherwise $60 is not worth it.

    The 2nd point is true you are right about that. But as far as the first point I made I was more or less talking about stacking in terms of how it is impacting ride availability. That is what the poster(s) is saying as a solution in terms of making the Genie + work better. But like you said...

    But then this circles back again to if you can only hold one at a time, you might have a return time for 4:30pm for your first ride. And there was a hack that some people were stacking rides anyway that was an advanced method and a loophole that Disney already halted. And again. Other then...

    Slow day today? I pull up the tip board for HS and SDD had a slot for 1pm. Cannot see why. Its Saturday of a holiday weekend.

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    The only park I really see stacking of more then 2 happening is at MK. And there are not a lot of availability issues for the rides on the Genie + tier at MK being how many there are to choose from. At HS for example itll be hard to stack more then 2. Especially if people are buying the ILL's...

    Never park hopped. No desire to. We spend a lot of time in one park a day and sometimes we do multiple parks more then once on a trip. For us its too much running around with 3 kids 14, 10 and 10. My 2nd choice would have been either RNRC or Tower of Terror. Today ToT was available for 7:20...

    Yes. The thing is this happened all week up until about 8:30 for both SDD and Rise. But I can understand why a lot of people would not have noticed. The thing is at 7 AM the most you can do is select your first Genie + and 2 ILL's if you choose. And then there is no option but to wait until...

    It was available 20 minutes later and sporadically after that until 8:30. But it required constant refreshing. And like what happened to you, it's possible if someone selected it by the time they were done it became unavailable. Here are two pretty good times today after 7.

    This morning SDD had intermittent availability up until 8:20 am. It took some refreshing but at 8:10 am there was availability for 2:40pm. At 7:23am there was availability for 10:20 am. At 7:12am it showed 3:30pm return time. Same with Rise at 7:15am after times before it were much later, there...

    Who knows what to believe anymore. I have not seen that. But I swear I am NOT defending Genie + at all but... people on here have said they could not get the ride they wanted at 7:02 am. When every day this week at 7:10 there was availability for SDD and Rise. So magically it was available for...

    What's the expire hack? Is that if you book a ride for 30 minutes from now for example and the window expires an hour after (so it's been only 90 minutes) and you can choose another?

    I'd still be very surprised by that. That's how Maxpass worked also. It also would seem Genie + completely useless.

    I'm pretty sure Disney would announce that the 2 hour rule no longer applies of this is true. The chats are probably mentioning that because it's so busy in the parks that yeah...you wont be able to grab anything 2 hours later since they are not gonna be available.
