I couldn't agree more.........This is insane..........Imagine paying all that money to stay in a Deluxe resort and not knowing if you can even get on the rides you want

I have plenty of complaints about current Disney and more specifically G+ but I am not sure I get this one. There is nothing stopping anyone from getting in line for any ride in all four parks so how would one not be able to ride? Unless you are talking about the VQ rides which I would understand more but unless I am mistaken, there is currently only one of those.

The thing that boggles my mind the most is that this is a gamble.

Gamble that on the day you picked for the park the g+ won't be an absurd price

Then after paying that, gamble that the rides you wanted are available, then further gamble that the slots still open are good for your plans

If paying 20usd at least guaranteed I'd get the rides I want without needing to wake up at 7am and button mash while praying... I could maybe see some use for it. As it is, it's like gambling

"Gamble", "Slots". Sounds about right.

I really miss the "too much planning" Disney vacation.

Sorry, let me clarify

*** ETA ***
Without waiting hours and only getting on a few rides

Paying all that money is not worth that

I know......Seems crazy to me but what do I know

Imagine dropping $1,000 a night on a deluxe hotel during easter week with your 8, 9 and 12 year old and you accidently slept in on ur HS day and missed the 7am drop and you couldn't get SDD or ROTR unless you waited 2 hours in each line?


HA........no thanks.........at least before you could book a FP 60 days in advance and guarantee yourself 3 rides

TWDC continues to bamboozle the public with extra planning fees to address the capacity shortages. Genius. I'll say it again. Genius.

Im still baffled how Rise is the highest priced one out there...

I think that has to do with capacity and reliability - if/when it goes down then have to first make up the time of all those with ILLs which makes the standby that much longer - not to mention if it goes down later in the day they may not let people in the standby even if it reopens, so if getting on in a priority there is added "value" to having an ILL for it vs higher capacity/more reliable rides

The ride is over rated and you are lucky if its working properly when you ride it… are you saying they charge more bc the ride is constantly down? Or am i misinterpreting you.

Well, that and even when it works well it has relatively low capacity so each spot on it is of greater demand than a similar ride with higher capacity .... Basically way fewer people get to ride it in a given day than the other ILL rides

It's also pretty unique and just about anyone can ride it (vs like Cosmic Rewind) so demand is high, lines are long this higher ILL cost
