Oh and the water mark is still on our ride photos from our DHS day. That was the day of the system wide Genie outage. So that stinks.
Oh that’s good to known. We also didn’t get any of our Mine Train photosYou 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

Thank you! I filled out the form a few days ago and got an email this morning that all my missing photos were recovered
This is the UK site, but, this is the form you need for missing photos.

I booked Disneyland and included Genie+ in my booking, $15 a day if I remember correctly, so it's all sorted out before I go and no price hikes depending on what the day is. Why can't they do that for WDW?
I'm not staying at a Disney resort either, I'm at a good neighbour hotel that I've stayed at before that is across the street from the park. I'm curious to know what their housekeeping is like post Covid as it was very good before it.
But mostly so they could raise the price.And because too many people were buying it so the system was running out too quick.

Probably depends the person. Last time I used G+ for a full day I hit 9 Lightning lanes across 3 parks.Its 10 times better, so there's that.
My typical day with EP at Universal results in at least 20 rides, great days 30. Never would get that at Disney. I also get rerides at Universal.Probably depends the person. Last time I used G+ for a full day I hit 9 Lightning lanes across 3 parks.
Last time I used express pass unlimited for a full day, I used the express lane 15 times across 2 parks.
Express pass was certainly easier, but honestly I would rather pay ~$30 for G+ than $200+ for Express pass.
If I had the money/time (if any vloggers are reading please do this challenge) I would love to get a team together to truly test both express pass and G+ on the same day. Each park as 1 skip the line user and multiple standby users at Disney and USO. Every time skip the line person gets in a line, a standby person gets in the standby line to figure out the time saved on each ride. Skip the line user doesn't wait for the standby person, but jumps to the next line (when they can) and another standby user clocks that time. I would love to see the total time saved in a day with each system over the course of a full operating day, we all know wait time boards are very unreliable. This would give a great $/min of each system. Add "wait time" minutes whenever the G+ person is on their phone trying to book a new LL.
Yes, not 100% a fair comparison as my USO day included a late start (stupid hotel check in), 2 hour Hagrids wait, an hour at Mythos, probably an hourish+ exploring the HP lands.My typical day with EP at Universal results in at least 20 rides, great days 30. Never would get that at Disney. I also get rerides at Universal.
Well to be fair my express pass is included in my $350-450 room I would be staying at anyways.Yes, not 100% a fair comparison as my USO day included a late start (stupid hotel check in), 2 hour Hagrids wait, an hour at Mythos, probably an hourish+ exploring the HP lands.
Still even at 30 rides for $250 (you said re-rides) is ~$8 per ride. If G+ is $30, only 4 rides puts you at a better "value" of $ per ride.
Both parks are super expensive, but to me G+ still gives the better "value" over express pass. However, I can totally see how someone has a different opinion than me. I will probably never visit Disney without G+ or USO without staying at a deluxe resort (no way I am forking over $700+ straight up for express for my family of 3).
Mondays at MK are rough. I can see people frustrated by 11am and just giving in. It'll be interesting to see how many days it sells out next week
Tron isn’t open at MK today.My goodness why is everyone at Epcot or AK today. MK and DHS look reasonable, ak and Epcot both have 2-3 hour waits!
