Tiers are lame.
I was at DLP on Sunday, what a better paid experience. I think they have better capacity, too.

That's the real question. What percentage of guests buy this? Because 3 per ticket or AP reservation was structurally idiotic.

The tiers ruin the benefit of pre-booking

Even better! We now have Genie, Lighting Lane Single pass and Lighting Lane Multipass!

so dumb to call these multi pass and single pass... it makes it sounds like multi pass is good for all

It’s almost like dummy wrecked capacity for 18 years and there’s no way out of it now?

Bear in mind FP+ had tiers as well.
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 *or cares* what they're doing?

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.

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.

The names are still awkward. Multi Pass and Single Pass? Single Pass doesn’t really tell me that it is a pay-for-ride. Multi Pass sounds like the new Park Hopper. The L-Arrow logo is nice, but also lacking in creativity.

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.
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.

Well, that is unfortunate. I was really hoping they would keep it to one prebook so preplanning could be kept to a minimum. It felt nice to finally have some options when going to the park instead of being bound to decisions made by past me.
Wonder if they will still let you move times on your preselects? Also, I didn't see anything about tiers, so I guess that did not happen. Glad it didn’t but I feel sorry for anyone who waits until day of to buy this as everything will be gone ahead of time. Even if Disney saves drops for throughout the day, eventually it will get figured out and be eaten up immediately.
Any bets on how quickly G+ sells out now? Will be interesting to see if it ends up with people who have shorter vacations not being able to get it at all.
ETA: Never mind, caught up with the thread and see there are tiers. Hope everyone who doesn't have a 10+ day trip staying on site enjoys their selections.
