Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

All Guest Are Equal at Disney-Some Are Just More Equal Than Others!

Based.

Good grief. A very long list of negatives, and an extremely small list of positives.
Woof.

 

[MattC]

Well, something else to learn.

I just can’t help but think we have gone so far beyond necessary.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

this is a breaking point for us as well, will just demand to cancel the pass contract IF standby lines are done away with.

…but you have the pass

 

[mightynine]

So let me get this straigh,t 15 bucks is a ONE TIME payment to GET Genie+, or do you gotta pay 15 bucks on a monthly basis ? Ontop of that each selection for a "fastpass" will be an additional charge ?

What are the odds of the use of this new fastpass system p[lummeting and the normal wait lines getting stupidly longer ?

Just curious really as I got confused on the pricing.

You pay $15 per ticket per day.

send that in to guestrelations, the more complaints the better.

How can we send complaints to gest relations? I think there are more things to improve Disney instead of pricing fast pass. I disagree with the ideas of Bob

DAS??

Disability access services. I posted/quoted someone upthread who had a comment on it.

Think of the current Tier system for FP+

All tier 2 rides will be included in Genie+ (S15 per day)
Tier 1 rides can be purchased individually, but only 2 per day.

7dmt has been mentioned as a Tier 1 ride, Tron will be too I guess. Plus a few others.

Okay, that makes sense. If you don’t mind, just a couple more questions.

1) When can you make your selections? Days in advance? Only on the day of? If on the day of, at what time?
2) Can you make as many selections as you want all at once, or do you have to ride a selected attraction before you can make your next selection?
3) Do Disney resort guests get any advantages with this service over non-resort guests?

Thanks so much for helping me out!

It hasn’t because they haven’t added ride capacity since 2000 and attendance has risen

they were rewarded for not doing their part

Slight update:

Resort guests have the privilege to spend money early reserving hot attractions. $$

$15 per person per day on top of your ticket. It will only include the “tier 2 rides” not the headliners.

But, the money guests spend on Genie is almost pure profit.

Not completely. Disney will be spending $125 on the 5 yr old, used, refurbished, Dell server they will use to run this thing.

…but you have the pass

but paying monthly, if were blocked from attractions (if no standby lines) then not paying money anymore if were told we cant get in a regular line and wait. if a guest wants to wait they should be allowed to wait without paying whatever mess they are charging per ride per day etc etc.

 

[FigmentsFangirl]

So basically its a daily fee of 15 bucks to simply broswe or access genie+ ? If this is the case, then yeah, I dont think I am going to use it

 

[Hawkeye_2018]

the list of tier 2 rides is going to be hilarious...and sad

 

[EPCOT-O.G.]

I haven't only because we've not needed DAS yet. Also, isn't it illegal for them to ask for proof? (I would RATHER they ask for proof if it meant eliminating abuse!)

YEah, this seems like one of those things where they talk a big game but will only be enforced in the most egregious, obvious, clearly fraudulent cases. Like, hardly ever.

I am also confused. In Disneyland Paris, people pay 18$ per person and attraction. It is only one ride. I think it is unaffordable!!!

My problem with this isn't necessarily the cost, but the fact that it turns the entire day into an internal debate about how much your time is worth. This now turns every day at the park into a mental value proposition calculation. Seeing a high wait time is no longer just a question of "is it worth 90 minutes to ride Haunted Mansion." It turns into "is $10 per person worth 90 minutes of our time? Would I rather spend $10 riding Mansion or Pirates? Should I just wait in line and save the money? Was that ride I just paid $10 on worth it because a few animatronics were broken?"

It turns the ENTIRE day into an internal debate about what's worth it and what's not. Every time you see a wait time you'll now have to determine how much your time is worth and that mindset is the absolute antithesis of what a Disney vacation should be.

Congratulations Disney, you just raised your ticket prices without actually raising your ticket prices.

Yup.. it's basically maxpass... but we took out the good rides and will charge you more for those. The one saving grace is the limit of 2 uses for the paid option right now.. that should at least limit the impact. But I can't see these control points staying very stable for very long.
