Just got back...

[AVeryDifferentDisneyDad]

Was there from Friday (3/12) till Monday (3/14).

Anyone have questions about stuff that I can answer about anything going on at the parks?

If I saw it, experienced it, used it, ate at it, whatever, I will be more than happy to help, by telling you what I know.

Fire away.

Did you use Genie + and LL? If so how was it?

 

[yensid1967]

If you did not use GENIE how was the wait times and the crowds?

 

[AVeryDifferentDisneyDad]

Didn't use Genie Planner or Genie + until Sunday at Hollywood. I had decided I wasn't going to use them at all, but we followed the rope drop crowd to Resistance, then after an hour they announced it was closed and they were unsure when it would start back up. I had been watching the wait times climb qt the other rides, so we took a chance and got out of line. The crowd was the heaviest I had tried to navigate before so at 11am I bought Genie +.

Yeah, I know, very late in the day to do.it, but actually it helped us on several of the middle tier rides, shows and attractions. It was ZERO help with Resistance, Slinky, Tower or Railway.

Had Resistance not broken down and caused me to waste 1 hour waiting before getting out of line, then 2 hours that afternoon waiting to actually ride it, I feel I could have gotten everything in. Getting out of that line ended up costing us time that we could have used to ride Slinky for the firat time ever.

Oh, well. Just another reason to go back one day!

Why did you think buying Genie+ would help with Resistance? Or did you just mean the new system as a whole?

 

[AVeryDifferentDisneyDad]

As a whole... it would "help" by getting me through other rides faster so I would have more free time to stand in line for Resistance.

How were the wait times in MK (assuming you went to that park). I've heard the non genie lines for mid-tier rides, have become excessive, and the crowds have been near or at capacity. The week I was supposed to go in February (but I cancelled) was reported to be at capacity and people were not permitted to enter the parks at that point.

Even if they park reservations??
