Magical.

Yikes.

If we ever do a holiday trip near or over Christmas, we will definitely plan it to be a relax at resort, soak up atmosphere in parks and see decorations, go to dinner kind of trip.

Rides we will definitely just pick and choose which ones we want and which we can skip! Would probably be a shorter than normal trip for us also.

We'll probably never visit Disney over the holidays.

There has been a 3 hour queue for FOP this morning.

And... my favorite. Over an hour for The Seas with Nemo.

That's horrible.

Stay at home and drink eggnog.

Not 1 ride worth the wait time.

Don’t worry park goers, Genie+ will solve the problem.

Laugh if you don’t want to cry…

My biggest irritation with Genie+, the fact that it actively slows down standby, strikes once again.

Because they don’t have enough to handle the standby numbers (Iger)…and they want you to buy genie (Iger and chapek)

…once they wanted you out of the lines so you could shop (Eisner)


…we all caught up now?

Iger will fix it….Increase staffing, lower ticket prices, EME and EMM return for all Resort Guests, Fastpass returns, remove Parking fees at Resorts….

That should reduce the crowds, right?

Anyone heard what lines are like for quick service/mobile order/carts?

And I thought you had to be inside the park to be in Fantasy Land.

Unless we’re talking about a different planet…they have to be a nightmare.

Numbers. When people are displaced out of ride lines…they go to look for alternatives with food Mostly…

Then the frustration of having a ticket you can’t really use for anything starts to creep in.

They can’t airbrush them out of the glamour shots completely…

Who cares about standby lines? Everyone here is too good to stand in one of those anyway.
