Obviously Disney doesn't want the long lines, in the heat, we see with FoP. Disney can keep most of of the queue inside. I don’t think it's terrible or stupid. I understand why some guests would prefer alternatives.This is so stupid, and terrible for guests.
The 1p drop accomodates guests who want to sleep late.Big Bang Pun not attended...
I am somewhat predicting a big-bang reset with all of this, if pre-planning Genie+ is still indeed coming in 2024. Although they have been super quiet on details and probably had to check off DAS changes before doing anything next.
Try to join a VQ and buying ILLs doesn't make sense if you are trying to let the guest sleep-in.
I could see the new Genie+ system rumored months ago (7 rolling days prior for resort guests/Tiers) still let people buy ILL before the day-of. But the VQ part of it doesn't add up. They won't make guests join VQ for future days, that's sort of a silly notion. They could change VQ requirements and make guests be inside the park, but that's not ideal either for pre-planning.
The easy fix: drop the VQ for both Guardians and Tron. Keep the ILL and let you buy prior. Maybe keep VQ for EEH.
They have plenty of time (2-3?) years to figure out what to do with AK Indy.
