Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

[EPCOT-O.G.]

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train will reportedly remain an Individual Lightning Lane after TRON Lightcycle / Run opens.

Can we all agree this man is a liar who only cares about the perception that Disney is expensive rather than the reality of the fact they nickle and dime at every chance they can get?

Moving SDMT off of ILL would be one way to demonstrate an eagerness to reign in the price hikes.

Don’t listen to what he SAYS - watch what he DOES.

Remember, you can join multiple VQs, but you can only purchase one ILL per day. Choose wisely.

You can purchase two per day.

You can purchase two per day.

My bad. I misremembered or they changed it. Sorry!

Is it still possible to do an attraction that you had booked on G+, book the next after you scan in, and then after the first attraction go in and keep trying to modify the 2nd attraction until you get a time close to the time you want (or sooner)?

I still wish they would just let everyone book the times they want like Fp+

If it's Na'vi River Journey on an E ticket scale -- i.e. longer and more AAs but with NRJ's attention to overall place-setting and detail -- it will absolutely be worth the wait. That would mean they built an awesome attraction.

You got a lot of hope for a shoehorned/mismatched overlay for a movie that frankly was never that popular…

It’s shocking to learn that they’ll let you buy as many $29 rides that you can realistically use.

Where are you reading hope into that? I wasn't saying I expect them to actually build that.

I was only saying that NRJ is is a much better starting point/base for a dark ride than just about anything else they've built in 15+ years. Despite its flaws it has highly detailed, immersive physical sets -- Tiana needs that to have a chance of being a great attraction.

Fastpass…and all it’s successors…is about crowd distribution and flow.

the biggest mistake they made was making it “reservations” around the dining plan. It really was. Should have been a virtual queue always.

Dining plan was a mistake too…but I’ll digress.

Realize I’m just messing with you…

But i wasn’t kidding about the details.
It is a ride built to provide a thrill and the movie was never that popular.

Genie+ has decreased to $25 per person for today (Saturday 3/18).

No, it will be Navi River Journey on a Navi River Journey scale. I hope you like lots of projections and maybe 1 or 2 animatronics!

…god that would suck.

And be oh so predictable

That wouldn't surprise me. That would still be preferable over a lot of other potential outcomes, though -- like if they turned it into Little Mermaid, or even Ratatouille or MMRR.

I honestly don’t know why rat gets the hate?

It’s a clone…but a cute original concept from Paris. Rate it as such.

You sound more not into the trackless. I get that…they’re already overdone and rather dull

I don't hate Rat -- I just don't like how often you park in front of a screen and watch a movie. You do at least move through some decent physical sets between the movie portions, though. It's fine overall.

Of course that's not really a potential issue for Tiana anyways since they can't park the boats in front of a screen.

Something like Little Mermaid is probably the worst case scenario for Tiana.

Wish they would have translated it to all English tho but ya know that would cost Bobby too much

I can see them having more AA’s, but really 90% of the budget goes to the two Tiana ones.

I do think they have themselves in a pickle if they just reskin what’s already there. My ongoing assumption based on trends in WDI history is to remove rides with extensive and costly to maintain AAs and replace them with screens. If this ride retains half of what’s there it would be a great aberration from the last two decades of ride development.

Nice! I just went back and checked and the water mark was removed from ride photos on days we had Genie. I wish I would have known this because we had several ride photos not show up in our account. My husband and I rode Guardians twice separately. So we should have had 4 photos. We had zero of us and about 6 of other random people. But since we didn’t purchase memory maker, I was just like, oh well

You can still contact photopass and ask them to look into this. Especially if you have other pictures to know what you were wearing and the ride photos should be from the same time. All is not lost
