In 18 days, I'll be at Magic Kingdom with my son, and regardless of how much negativity the parks, management, Genie+, Lightning Lanes, new shows, new rides, and everything else is receiving, YOU CAN'T GET ME DOWN! :D I've been going to WDW since the 80's and have full reference points for...

I see in videos that you can select Attraction Interests, Dining Interests, and Disney Favorites (or something along those lines) in Genie. Is this something that only becomes available for you to browse and choose once you purchase Genie+?

Thank you for the info! When I first tried that the other day, it just gave me error messages. I thought it might be because my trip was too far out or something, but I guess it was just being finicky. All working now and very cool to see it “live” with available times and such.

Forgive me if this has been asked 100 times, but is there any way to "test drive" any of the Genie / Genie+ stuff on the app before my trip? My son and I will be there in less than three weeks, but we only have enough tickets for the days we will be in the parks, and they are all currently used...

Ok, so the premium paid ones on top of normal Genie+ are their own thing handled separately, correct? Almost like you’re working two different systems at the same times if you are paying for Genie+ and then also willing to pay for individual premium rides.

Can anyone clarify for me: you can get one Lightning Lane selection at a time. But can you get one PAID Lightning Lane selection and also one of the unpaid ones from the regular $15/day Genie+ at the same time? Or is it one at a time regardless of whether they are paid? For example: can you...

Lucky for me, I can form my own opinions on facts being reported, regardless of how they're presented, and even...[gasp]...do some more digging when appropriate. Since we're basically getting all of the same facts from the various Disney sources these days, I get to choose which personalities...

That's not what I said at all. Presentation and delivery vary greatly. I just listed three in the above post that all criticize Disney with valid points of view, but none of them do so while coming across as snarky or jaded. There is a difference.

I don't find that to be true at all. I watch and listen to a ton of them. Not all of them are negative and cynical, but quite a few of them are these days. Your comments on Mickey Views are exactly what I was talking about and why I like him, along with DFB and also WDW Opinion; I find all...

More big questions I hope to answer soon: we'll be there early November, so 1) will the meet and greets have started by then, and 2) how will Lightning Lanes and all that new Genie+ stuff affect it (or will lines just be crazy long to begin with since meet and greets haven't happened in so...

My favorites used to be the news-based blogs/vlogs, as I enjoyed learning about all of the new offerings, and they really can help you plan your next trip (and get excited about it). The problem I've had recently is that many have taken on a sort of jaded, snarky attitude much of the time. I...

Thanks for the info! So I just need to decide what's more valuable: my son starting off his day seeing the characters at the castle or us maybe getting on an extra ride or two with a shorter wait. You'd think the rides would be a no-brainer, but remember: 1) this trip is all about him; 2)...

While it hasn't deflated my excitement for my upcoming November trip, count me in the category of "frustrated" with Genie+. There's a lot to gripe about, but the only part that's truly bothering me is that it just threw my whole trip for a loop, as I now have no idea what to expect or how to...

Two questions: 1) Throughout the 50th celebration, will there be a Magic Kingdom park opening show in front of the castle with characters, or was the one I saw in videos from October 1st a one-time thing? 2) If it happens every day, do you have to be there early as a hotel guest to catch it or...

With everything pandemic going on, along with unexpected medical issues, bills, etc., I didn't think we'd be back in WDW until late 2022 at the earliest (it's been a couple years). I was especially disappointed because I didn't think I'd get to see any of the 50th Anniversary stuff if trip...

I'll say something that's likely to be controversial, but...I prefer not to visit when Disney is celebrating Christmas. I know, I know. Everyone loves it and it's so magical. Just not for me. I hate hearing the same pop Christmas covers that I hear all day long on my commute to work or at...

Wow, the castle looks amazing in those photos posted in the article on here a couple days ago. Honestly, it makes the grey and blue version before the pink reimagining look bland and boring. I can't wait to see it in person!

Wow, I'm really surprised to see the 1970s with a strong lead on this one. I suspected either 80s or 90s would have the most votes. Very cool to see such a high percentage of members have experience at WDW that far back!

My wife and I want to take our two sons to WDW together for the first time in 2022. The three year old has been twice - once for his first birthday and once about a year later, so he obviously doesn't remember it - and the other one is currently nine months old. If we wait until the older...

Just curious to see the spread!
