Yes but if you have a park reservation for MK, you can book an ILL for Rise. Even if you select 11am the system will push that out until after 2pm.
So a system that only half of people can obtain.. and even worse, alienate pretty much ALL new guests that visit the parks for the first time and most likely will only find out about G+ when they arrive....but by then it will be too late, all sold out.
Exactly, I hate how their model seems to be "let's take away longer high capacity attractions and replace them with low capacity quick attractions but double attendance."
Yep...and just like FP+...
no everyone had FP+ and there was always still some availability the day of, plus it was easier to figure out even for the new guest, not to mention they had 60 days prior to their trip to try it instead of scramble at 7am the day of
Not really, no. For veterans like us sure - we knew how to refresh and stack single rider reservations to get what we wanted. We knew how it worked. We knew the grace periods. We knew the rules with rider swap, etc.
But people who'd never visited and showed up to the park day of would constantly ask why they couldn't use their 3 on whatever they wanted. Or swipe awkwardly and be told where to find the kiosks
No, but I'm not sure it matters with how poor GSAT is with Genie+. It is really, really bad.
I still think DVC is part of the overcrowding and downfall of Disney. Easy to make cost cutting measures when you've locked so many people into 50 years of vacations no matter how bad it gets.
1) ILL capacity is gone from FP+ capacity
Express pass at USO and Fast lane at Cedar Fair Parks can also sell out.
It will ALWAYS be an option while the money is rolling in no matter how poor the experience.
Id love to know how many visits to Disney he has made with his family lately...I bet its close to zero
It was told to me that its below anything anyone in current management has experienced at WDW - it is that bad.
Maybe they figured since $15 is very low cost relative to WDW trip budgets, people wouldn’t expect too much out of it. That totally ignores the mental hurdle going from free to paid. Realistically what does $15 get us in WDW? Doesn’t matter though. People want at least $15 more of a better experience over free FP+.
And rub elbows with the Poors and the people he is ripping off. Nope.
I disagree. FP+ was great for people like me, and allowed me to relax knowing that I had near guarantees of riding headliners. What is happening now is guaranteeing that this isn't really a vacation because I have no certainty at all of what I will be able to do, and with paark reservations, no way to change it.
The opposite. They knew how well MaxPass work at Disneyland and figured it would work just as well at Walt Disney World. Different animal altogether. They knew expectations would be high - their own expectations were high.
