There's a very small handful of attractions that have an "alternate" access route - Soarin' is one of them. It's not something the guide has discretion on (which they should) if the line is really backed up or something.

While tours still sell out on busy weekends, I just think they've priced themselves too high and with DAS/G+ available demand has tapered from the post-COVID highs. Also doesn't help that they force tours (except celebrities and Disney execs) to use the Lightning Lane for some reason. Imagine...

The tour business has become a massive behemoth. Mid week days they often do less than a hundred but peak times they’re doing well more than 100. It really exploded during COVID when there was no Fastpass option and Disney really started aggressively marketing the service to travel agents, etc.

They’re doing way more on busy days. For a year or more it was that on average most days.

They can not work over 10 hours a day anymore due to DOT rules with driving the vans. Guest Relations tours wear blue plaid.

This isn’t true. There’s a minimum of 7 hours to book a tour. Guides never have more than one party per day.

Rider switch allows the person who waits to bring someone with them so they don't go alone. It's typically used for kids who are too small to ride certain rides with height requirements, but they allow someone to accompany the person who waited - even if it means someone gets to ride twice.

While you'll likely qualify, rider switch doesn't make you ride solo. You can still bring someone.

Considering Genie+ often sells out, people are buying it - a lot.

Just want to give everyone a refresher here as I think some people might benefit from a history lesson: Prior to 2002, Disney had a "one size fits all" option that encompassed guests with mobility issues (wheelchairs, etc) and sensory/develomental issues. This was basically an immediate FP or...

Yes, that's true but short of putting you in a holding cell while you wait for your ride time, there has to be an accommodation for people who want to re-ride but can't wait in a traditional queue. Also the people who actually can't wait in a traditional queue won't be getting in line for...

This doesn't work for a few reasons: 1) The point of DAS is to provide accommodation to those who need it. If you want to ride Space Mountain a dozen times, you could get in the standby line repeatedly to do so. You should not be barred from doing this just because you have a disability. 2)...

Except that Disney was literally the only theme park operator not charging for a line-skipping service, then they came out with one that was the cheapest on the market - with often shorter return queues than their competitors. Charging more and limiting it to fewer users, will improve...

Genie+ is Fastpass, though. Just without the ability to pre-book in advance. It's almost exactly what MaxPass used to be at Disneyland. Disney is undercharging for G+ considering Universal charges $200 for their service.

Has anyone figured out how you're going to "return to line" in a way that isn't just walking past a bunch of people who think you're cutting?

Personally I think G+ is underpriced and should be substantially more, with a more limited capacity.

Spend $25 for Genie+ like everyone else?

I think most of the abuse is people knowing which lies to tell them and I don't think lying about autism is one. Multiple people I know say they get anxiety in lines or have frequent urination/bathroom issues. Disney already said they're addressing the latter with a "bathroom pass" type thing...

Not to mention it works at MK because the park is basically on the second floor. Studios has no such elevation so they couldn't really create a tunnel.

Nope. In general, WDW QS food sucks to Disneyland's. Many different reasons for that - including a very different clientele, different management and, frankly, the Disney Dining Plan which devastated/homogenized food quality across the resort at the Disney-operated resaurants/stands. Even horrid...
