News Disney Genie digital assistant app coming to Walt Disney World

[Figments Friend]

Tiered pricing, depending on how busy the Parks are...and what 'season'.

Remember how the admission pricing for Park tickets is based on 'seasons'?
Value Season, Peak Season, etc.?
Don't be surprised to see similar pricing schemes for the prices to access particular Attractions.

I can easily see them charging more on 'peak' days then during 'value season' days as Guests will be far more willing to cough up the cash with the click of a 'Genie' button the busier the Parks are.

Doesn’t bringing back A-E ticket books almost make sense…

One could say this is almost like a digital version of that...

More popular, in-demand Attractions will likely cost more to experience just like in the ol' days.

You ever have an "Elephant Ear"? Not too shabby.

True, and far better than a churro. But in the "non-junk-food" category, it's pretty bleak at Cedar Fair.

 

[Casper Gutman]

Have you ever eaten at a Cedar Fairborn Six Flags park? It's chic to complain about Disney food, but it's miles and miles above amusement parks.

Have you eaten at Dollywood? And the parks you list don’t have dozens of sit down restaurants as an integral selling point.

I have, though only once. Better than Cedar Fair/Six Flags, worse than Disney IMO. (Or at least the good parts of Disney - I'll happily agree with anyone that says Disney QS burgers are junk.)

Ever eaten at Dollywood/Silver Dollar City?
Busch Gardens/Sea World?
Disneyland?

All have better counter service then WDW with more variety too (outside of the festival booths for the former, all of Epcot for the latter.)

Legoland has better QS food than Disney.

Haven’t been there yet, want to, but seeing as I’m childless it’s harder. Legoland is one of those parks where you get labeled as a child predator being alone by the park attendance there.

Definately geared toward a younger crowd. Fun Park though.

I know.

I’m growing more and more disillusioned with Disney trying to control everything about your stay. I love Disney World don’t get me wrong, but they now highly schedule every aspect of your trip. I come from a line of work where I’m on a very rigid schedule. I’m much more of a go with the flow person on vacation. But it sound like even more so with Genie that can’t be possible.

Oh I know-all spontaneity is gone. Your entire day is scheduled except for bathroom breaks.

I think even with Genie “Your wish will be handled in the order it was received”.

A queue for “wishes” and they monetized it. Brilliant.

And....No....It's not a Funnel Cake. It's kinda like a funnel cake. But better. It's an "everything that's bad for you" treat.

Up here we call them ‘Fried Dough’ delicious and a ‘fat pill’ (my term for doughnuts) on steroids

 

[skypilot2922]

Another fair food treat is deep fried chocolate covered bacon. Yum sweet and salty at once and the of course deepfried pickles and twinkies.

My mindset for Beignets. When you dip them in the chicory coffee they just melt and you start losing track of how many you've had by the third order.

I could also see them adjust the price for instant access depending on how long the stand-by line is in real-time. For example, wait time * $0.50 = Ride It Now, with a minimum price floor.

Fried dough is not a funnel cake! Fried dough is just that, dough, ie it has yeast. Funnel cake is made from a batter and gets squeezed out into the oil.

Funnel cakes are disgusting.
Fried dough is amazing.

This opinion is wrong.

How can the first sentence be so correct, and the second two be so wrong?

Fried dough is pretty good, don't get me wrong -- but it doesn't hold a candle to a funnel cake.

Dough boys here. Usually sprinkled with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar.
