Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

[CaptainAmerica]

Do we know when they are dropping the list of Tier 1 and Tier 2 attractions?

Tier 1 at MK is Space Mountain and Mine Train.

 

[corran horn]

But is there a pool?

 

[the-reason14]

Well, it’s been fun, USA parks. Looks like it’s time to just pony up and go see Tokyo.

Damn near exactly what I was thinking. I’d probably pay extra for this in Tokyo, but highly doubt it here in the US.

So this means that you the 'basic' WDW experience will be an entry fee with long lines and good luck if you get on 3 rides in one day.

Starting at only $109/per day!

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

You'd hope, but I have a feeling the vast majority of guests will be purchasing this.

…ahhhh…because you’re a “watcher”…and that gives you clarity

Annual Passholders will be able to add Disney Genie+ on the day of use."

So I will have to waste time at 7am to pay to add genie+ each day while other guests with day passes get ahead of me booking/ paying for FPs?

 

[FigmentsFangirl]

No. What the heck are you lunatics talking about?

I want to see what is available, to do that I gotta shell out 15 bucks just ot see the listl or to make a selection on the list ?? Which is it I wonder

Is there also a NON PAID version ? Apparently there is also this Genie thing too, and Genie+ is an add on ?

40% of guests will come and go without having any clue whatsoever that this exists.

Genie is the new My Disney Experience app, basically. That's free and shows wait times and all of that.

 

[CJR]

Not necessarily. It sounds like Rise will either be get a boarding group via lottery or pay up! $$$

Well, the Virtual Queue and standby are one and the same in that regard. Same for Rat. My guess is the LL people will fly by those in the physical queue too, after they return following their board groups getting called.

 

[nickys]

So just to LOOK at the thing is 15 bucks ? Yeah, I'm not gonna bother with it then. I will gladly stick with the standby lines

Look at what? The $15 gets you unlimited FPs for tier 2 rides. That’s Genie+.

 

[Vegas Disney Fan]

I preferred maxpass at DL to FP+ at WDW so I’m happy they’re going in that direction, I’m not happy about tier 1s not being included though and really hope they offer a yearly option like maxpass had. $20 a day could add up very quick, I’d rather pay $100 for the year like before.

if we *all* do this it'll fail, right?!?!?!?!?!

 

[Javier Antonio Nisa Avila]

Nah. Walt squeezed every merchandising opportunity imaginable and Bob would be off in the salt mines, doing that.

This is not a merchandising. This is a destruction of Disney parks. For this reason, I think Walt had laid off Bob. I don't like him. He is a bad person

 

[vikescaper]

Blah…..I want to be upset about this but I just don’t have the energy.

I guess I understand your position. However, you’d be able to use Genie’s day planning services for free. The $15 only comes into play when/if you want to make a fastpass/lightning lane selection.

I wonder if the app will show what is available for the day before paying….. !?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

What did you love about MaxPass that this doesn’t include?

That I had 4 e-tickets lined up in about 90 minutes for $20 in Disneyland without internet stalking 2 months earlier???

 

[peter11435]

Tier 1 at MK is Space Mountain and Mine Train.

Where has this been confirmed?

 

[Jumping Fountains]

So, purely from a selfish perspective, I would love the option of a truly skip any line/ride as many times as you want ala Universal. I’m not arguing it would be Good or Right, but if I have to pay extra, I’d rather have the option of the premium product that gives me true flexibility. VIP tours have never appealed because I have liked actually wandering the parks and experiencing rides organically, in context, as I move from land to land.

Guess my kids will grow up learning to stand 2 hours in a line like I did....
