I wish people would start talking about Genie+ and especially ILL in context of real world family size. If it was just me, solo on a trip, sure…I MIGHT pay $10-$15 not to stand in a long line alone for a ride or two. BUT - multiply that by a family of four and it’s just crazy to me! $40-$60 for a three minute ride that we’ve ridden multiple times in our three years as AP? No thanks. I can’t see us ever purchasing Genie+, so Disney’s out that money for me AND they’ve lost a family that went down 4-6 times a year. I think it will eventually hurt them. Disney needs smiling pictures of my Disneybounding family on FB to encourage others to go on those once in a lifetime trips. When the “Disney people” stop
going and stop spouting advice and tips, it discourages others. That’s just my $0.02.
We talked about our experience with Genie + an ILL for our "real-world family size" - the two of us.
Hopefully that helped others that travel like us.
We are Disney-people and Genie + will not deter us from going. First, because we found we liked it, second because we can choose to buy it as we go and not for every day and third we don't have to use it all if we don't want to.
Your smiling family (which I'm sure would be nice to see) would have no bearing on our decision making and vice-versa.
