    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I'll be there between Christmas and New Years. I have already accepted and expect (and budgeted) 24 × 5 (guests) per individual attraction. $120 a ride. And sadly, unlike the Genie rides, these ones, I am predicting for resort guests will need to be booked at or soon after 7. Hopefully I'm...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    24 dollars would be the high end it said. Which is worse. The Genie + itself is not a price out. The IAS rides will be for a lot of people.

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I dislike Genie + 2nd worst. Getting rid of Magic Express is terrible. Orlando Airport is joining the celebration for the 50th..but WDW is making you get and pay your own way there. Thatd sad and a slap in the face. By for the worst thing they took from us. Had Genie been Premier Access I would...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    This is assuming you have to wake up at 7am to get the ride you want. There is nothing confirmed you will have to. You can make the first one at 7am but I fully intend to sleep until 9 or 930 and make my first selection for after 10am. You are going by the assumption all time slots will fill up...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I'll be spending the same money with Genie + and any chosen IAS rides then any other trip because i will be cutting back elsewhere. I have no choice but to purchase the Genie because I'll be there during the literal busiest week of the year. As far as affording the Genie, I can, but i still...

    The World's Most Magical Celebration - Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary

    Several times it's been mentioned by credible sources. It is already confirmed for the 50th that characters will appear randomly at a Disney resort. And it was recently confirmed...

    The World's Most Magical Celebration - Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary

    Not to sound like an excuse, but they have made it clear all along that the 50th anniversary celebration would be 18th months long. Not specifically a 1 day event. So what you think it implied and how they have specified it are entirely different.

    The World's Most Magical Celebration - Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary

    For now they get a pass on that. When meet and greets are reinstated (even if some of them never return but many do) I would hope the characters meet and greet and you can wait in line for photos and autographs with them at the hotels. Especially works well for those who spend a week at a time...

    The World's Most Magical Celebration - Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary

    When back to normal, a simple wave and drive by would not be my expectation. If a couple of random times a day at a resort a couple of the Fab 5 had meet and greets that would be nice. As far as my expectations. We will see how that works out. I do like the idea.

    The World's Most Magical Celebration - Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary

    I'm disappointed also there will be no parade though. I would have been happy with just simply FOF returning separately from the 50th cavalcade. A lot is still coming to Epcot and MK in particular during the 50th even if it is not on 10/1. I think during the next 18 months is a better judgement...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    If availability is spread out, there should not be a problem getting Soarin and Frozen the same day Or MMRR and Smugglers the same day and being able to wake up st 9am to do so instead of 7 am so that you can time it for park arrival at noon. If I can go on TSMM, MFSR, MMRR, RNRC and TOT in...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I'm curious as to if a resort guest was to add Genie + in advance onto their vacation package if they pay it all at once on the spot like photo pass or of it will be like the dining plan where they tell you how much more it will cost and you can have it added to your balance to be paid off with...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Agreed. When it comes to Disney there really is no wrong way. You do you and do what works best for you and your family. Only rule of thumb if it's not a 1 or 2 night trip is to do all 4 parks. Lol.

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    It really is not much different then FP+ if you like to spread things out aside from it costing $15 a day per person. FP for us was usually 3 rides 2 to 3 hours apart. **Assuming** availability exists, someone could book their first ride for Noon at 10am. At Noon you can book another ride for...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    It will still mean you have some time though before you can use the LL pass if you choose to stack. You wait two hours and grab highly desirable rides with late day availability every 2 hours and line your self up for rides at 7 and 8 pm, you still have to wait 2 hours for your next choice even...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    With Genie+ and not legacy (paper) will it also be 2 hours? Or is it 90 minutes? I'm glad stacking is confirmed at least. Now instead of 7am, if you wanted to sleep until 9am, open your eyes, grab some coffee and grab your first priority ride and it's available for later in the day you can st...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Interesting..so now we know it'll be an offering with Genie +. That line on peak weeks easily built up to over 75 minutes at times. Only place on property that you can get Mickey and Minnie in one photo at the same time.

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    What about the Character meets that had FP..the Adventurer Outpost (Mickey and Minnie) in AK, the Mickey on town square, etc. I think there was one at Epcot also for Mickey, Minnie and Goofy but that meet and greet got moved to different spots...also the Cinderella Fairytale Hall at MK etc...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    If they give resort guests the option to order it in advance, to be fair they would have to allow them to order it before the trip even up untol a few days. If it's part of your resort package, in the future it might be required 30 days in advance but nothing formally announced. But who knows...

    The World's Most Magical Celebration - Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary

    Maybe they are bringing back the Mickeys Royal Friendship Faire with characters in "Earidescent" colors lol. Although, I see no reason why they would hold off an announcement like that.
