Im curious how the inventory will work here as i have had great success with Genie+ on all my trips
Fastpass + for a feeAlright, now I have the option to pay to be disappointed when I can't find anything good or isn't a walk-on after I use the first three fka Fastpasses!
At least someone finally realized the unneeded confusion of the naming structure of Genie, Genie+, Lightning Lane, etc.
That's the real question. What percentage of guests buy this? Because 3 per ticket or AP reservation was structurally idiotic.The FP+ numbers never worked…
Will they at $75 a pop? We’ll see
Even better! We now have Genie, Lighting Lane Single pass and Lighting Lane Multipass!Alright, now I have the option to pay to be disappointed when I can't find anything good or isn't a walk-on after I use the first three fka Fastpasses!

It’s almost like dummy wrecked capacity for 18 years and there’s no way out of it now?That's the real question. What percentage of guests buy this? Because 3 per ticket or AP reservation was structurally idiotic.
Bear in mind FP+ had tiers as well.The tiers ruin the benefit of pre-booking
Just like when they had them before on the old FP+ system, they prevent everyone from pre-booking their 3 on the top 3 attractions, and then non-resort guests have no option for any of those attractions when their booking window opens.The tiers ruin the benefit of pre-booking
There are a lot of different opinions on how this should work. Someone will always be p---d off. But if it p---es off each group a little bit, perhaps that's where the best path lies.Well this was certainly unexpected. I guess G+ isn't as magical as it used to be to the bean counters....
But can I just say from a marketing perspective the whole Multi-Pass / Single Pass thing is confusing as hell.
From a normal guest's perspective you would think that a Multi-Pass will entitle you to everything a Single-Pass gets you, just "multiple" of them.
But NO.
The Single pass is only for select attractions that are not available to the multi-pass. So you would still need to buy a single-pass even if you bought a multi-pass to experience those specific attractions.
Who is green lighting this garbage? Seriously is there anybody there that even remotely knows what they're doing?
Unless the price is insane, I'll buy it. It addresses my 2 biggest G+ complaints - waking up early on vacation and not being able to pick times. It also slightly improves upon FP+ by not forcing you to wait until using up all 3 selections before picking additional ones. It's not perfect, but it's a definite improvement for me and my family.So no more multiple parks, or are they all "multiple parks" now when you run out, like FP+?
Let's see if all the people who complained about G+ and said they would be glad to get paid FP+ back actually pay for this.
Oh I'm pretty sure that the reason why they're doing this is because too many people were using the standby line because they didn't want to deal or know how to deal with this crap.Except for the obvious lucrative revenue stream for Disney, I find Genie to be confusing, expensive and very limiting. It’s almost impossible now to have a decent wait time for the stand by line, too.
