I forgot MK wasn’t, fair that’s a valid complaint.
As is the ongoing Single Lightning lane, but I don’t think that’s exactly what people were taking issue with.
They obviously still just need more things.

Where’s my refillable drink mug?! They don’t have that at the Ritz either, but they can smell my Coke Zero Sugar breath for free.

But it’s the truth? You can now save money by not buying Genie+. You never had the ability to delete FP+ and pay less.

Honestly I think it’s because Genie+ is still viewed as an affordable option, or at least underpriced for its perceived benefit by the uninitiated. Disney’s response to the volume of people using it is limiting the booking capability per attraction.
If they would adopt Universal’s model of a higher price without a return time but rather you just get into the fast line this would be perfect. Price it in such a way that it’s only going to be a segment of the park guests using it. If you must, keep the top of the line attractions (Tier 1 under this system) on return times to manage flow but make all tier one an open all the time fast lane line.
Charge a premium but actually make it a premium offering.

And that poster responded to you…
Never let the details interfere with the gotcha attempt
But that's because their previous choice in that tier is now a Lightning Lane Single Pass attraction.
TIER A used to be "choose your Pandora attraction", and TIER B was "everything else", but now Animal Kingdom is pay LLSP for Flight of Passage and pay LLMP for "everything else".

To your last sentence 100%. It feels very boiling frog how used to paying for a mediocre product we’ve all gotten, no matter what tweaks they make to it.

Please welcome to the stage…. The reallocation of capacity formerly used by DAS.
The fact that this is now an even worse version of Paid FP+ grinds my gears. I wouldn't hate paying so much IF there were re-rides. Often there is top level attractions left on G+, especially at MK but you're locked out after one ride. There should be an option that after a certain time anything left is fair game for all G+ users regardless if they've ridden it or not. If Pirates has LL capacity at 8PM and I used a LL at 9AM for it, why shouldn't I be able to get it?
I honestly think the way they have this is going to cause even MORE complaints about them not allowing re-rides because if you read it , it makes you think that after your first three you can pick "any" remaining selection and doesn't say anything about not being able to re-select.

MK has to charge extra for E-Tickets that last less than 60 seconds. You know because of Magic and Pixie Dust and crap.

No, but I did sit through the 6-4 Iowa v. Penn State game, where Iowa took two safeties, since they were more afraid of our defense scoring on them than our offense...…the Louisiana howitzer
Don’t mock…you haven’t lived until you watched frank pollard and Walter ambercrombie rush for a combined 46 yard a game on 62 Carries

Except for the group that relied on the 2 hour wait to add a second because they couldn't be at the park early enough to ride the first and have anything left. That of course assumes the 2 hour wait is no longer a thing.
For most everyone else it should work reasonably well. Pick one or two things you legit want when you want them and then one or two super early so you can immediately start booking more.
That does make me wonder though, what about missing a window? If you book a ride for park opening and miss the hour window to ride are you just out of luck? Do you have to wait until it is time for ride 2 and then you can book two? Do they have a cool down timer that kicks in and once it passes you can book again?
It will be interesting to see how they handle that.

I’ve tried to block that one out from my grey matter
As someone who almost never books a trip more than a few days in advance (occasionally I’ve even booked a flight for the same day), I am sad. 7am day-of was perfect for me, and led me to buy an AP for the first time in nearly a decade and take several trips a year. I was on an even footing with everyone else. This will drastically hurt that, to the point that I’m wishing they’d announced this before I renewed in April.
I know I’m an outlier and it’s hard to blame them for not focusing on a use case like mine, but it’s still disappointing.

It’s a children’s coaster. Moms and dads with young children will definitely pay a premium for their kid to ride, and Disney knows that.
