I am just dreaming here, but just go back to the FastPass system and monetize it if they must.

I agree. It wasn’t perfect. Nothing is going to be at this point without a lot more attractions in the mix, so go back to the old system and charge for it
The only thing though would be the tiers might have to return and ILLs are separate now

I think the new version will look a lot like FP+ ... maybe you only prebook 1 vs 3 and maybe it is only 2 weeks out instead of 60/30 days but otherwise will look pretty similar
You bought G+ for EpcotLast week we were at WDW and decided to not buy G+ at MK (Monday 8/28) nor AK (Thurs 8/31) but did buy it for DHS (Wed 8/30 - $20) and EPCOT (Friday 9/1 - $17)
For MK, we were there from early entry through park close and got on 20 attractions. Dd 7DMT during early entry (~35min wait) and had longish waits for Space Mtn (57 mins) and Speedway (40mins) that were both well more than posted time. Everything else was under 30 mins, most under 20
For AK we got on everything we wanted and did Pandora mid-afternoon, had 23 min wait for FoP. Only other longish wait was for Kali River which was 30 mins despite a 5 minute posted wait time
For DHS and EP we "slept in a stacked" - we did get to DHS until around 12:30pm. Using LL we got on basically everything we wanted and did Rise standby (28 min wait to first preshow) - several we really didn't need, but did avoid like 25-35 min waits at things like MMRR, MF:SR, etc. Also helped having one for SDD when it closed for rain so got an anytime return one
EPCOT we were able to get one for Remy at 7, then Frozen after scanning in there and then TT after scanning in at Frozen, had them all done by noon. Really didn't need it for anything else, but saving 40+min for each of the 3 big ones was good
I think it is worth it if you want to sleep in or take breaks, but if you will be there from opening to close or don't care if you don't get on everything, definitely can do without

Yup! We had a full day planned - we did the Behind the Seeds tour and had our preview of Journey of Water to work around and wanted to get to what food booths we wanted to/could ... so avoiding several 40ish minute waits was beneficial
We still didn't get to everything we wanted to

Assuming you can get Frozen and Rat (or don't want to split up for TT). It's basically like paying for 2 ILL with a bonus of skipping some shortish waits for Soarin, SSE, and MS.You bought G+ for Epcot
I'm planning on going late November and plan to get it for my EPCOT day (again for Rat and Frozen basically).
Wow....we rope dropped Epcot on Tuesday and had done all the rides by 1pm and park hopped to MK

those smaller attractions we don't do any more as they aren't worth constantly doing.

No worries it's been broken all morning so you can't buy it even if you want too.

We experienced magic kingdom without genie+ on our arrival night yesterday. No thank you, Im not waiting 30 minutes to go on the Ariel ride. If it doesn’t start working in the next 10 minutes we’re going to seaworld.
