Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

As long as you count yourself in as a chronic offender, okay. You have DVC and go what- 3 times a year? I go every 3 years.

For us, on our trip, ILL was more valuable to use than Genie +. That's it, my perspective, you can't add to it, you can't "but..." it, that's it, that was our experience, not yours. Silence!

That’s why I said it…

You’re advocating upsells in smalls doses…when wdw business has been built on repeat business for 40 years.

…the timeshares are the giveaway.

Different strokes

Then say it to the others in this thread who were advocating upsells in small doses.

It’s a public thing…I’m pointing out why those ride skips may not work for everyone and may not work moving forward…not specific just to you.

I’ve used them. We did for tron couple of weeks ago and probably would have for guardians…but didn’t need to.

Also have gotten flight of passage. To avoid hassles.

But they’re aging rides…as all rides are…so what do they do when they build nothing to eclipse them and the purchase rate falls? Which it will…rest assured.

Few things to make G+ better:

1. Pre-purchase G+ with a WDW vacation pack (like you used to be able to do) like hoppers
   1. Imagine having to buy hoppers the morning of based on park demand? lol
2. X days prior to your vacation you can book 1 attractions via G+.
3. Resort guests can book their 2nd G+ the day of at park open from anywhere. Everyone else has to book once they enter the park.

X has to been at least a week or so prior to check in because a day or two prior to check in is just one more hassle to organize on top of everything else people do right before they start vacation (packing, traveling, wrapping up work etc.)

They've offered 1 before.
They've offered 2 before with FP+.
They already do a version of 3 with ILLs and resort guests.

Would make the system better AND add more perks to staying on site.

If they’d just give dvc members free G+ and free ILLs and make everyone else pay double it’d be fine lol

If you're using them too, maybe quit with the lectures.

It wasn’t a lecture…

It was a counter to “ILLs work great”

I wasn’t even disputing it doesn’t work great in that case. It just wouldn’t be universally as beneficial.

That was the point…and the only point. It doesn’t negate their experience of what they said.

“Quit with the lectures”? That’s a joke, right, pot?

There is a reason most parks are constantly adding new attractions. Their direct competition is constantly doing that.

Ooooof. Once again, you have to plan. plan. plan. We park hop but sometimes things change and the thought of this makes me want to buy it less or only buy for the second park. I don't know how rookies plan a Disney vacation anymore. I can barely keep up and we go often.

You can't buy only for 2nd park, anymore. Now you have to pay more if you want to use Genie+ with a park hopper. (Sorry if this was already covered, I didn't read ahead.)

Just a reminder that depending on what end you’re on, one person’s “just pointing it out” is another person’s “lecture.”

I don’t think that’s true.

If you have a park hopper ticket it doesn’t mean you have to buy the 4-parks option, only if you want to book in more than one park.

You cannot buy the 4-park option without having a park hopper.

 

[Ayla]

I would be open to a system where they just expand the ILLs to about the top dozen or so attractions (total, across all 4 parks) and then do away with the G+ LL

Are you thinking pay per ride? Wouldn't that end up being way more expensive?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Just pointing it out: stop lecturing on everything.

those belong in the movie threads anyway…as those have been claimed by the Humanities…not Math and Science

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Probably…
In an ideal world…we could do pay as you got at $5-$10 a pop…

But that seems like a deal Disney couldn’t keep, doesn’t it?

Ok, you know I like you, but stop dragging dreday for doing the same thing you do. You were just there, are dvc (she isn't) and used ILL.

All of you are part of the problem. You're all enablers. You all hate on the way the parks are going but continue feeding the problem

It’s not “dragging,” it’s “pointing out,” Right, @dreday3 ?

It wasn’t a drag…it was an attempt (apparently a bad one) at showing how the perspective on this thing can vary Greatly. I’ve used it…but don’t advocate it’s expansion. I want that gone as much as genie. Management can’t be trusted and they’re already terrible.

I apologize for my approach.
