I dunno. I never went to morning EMHs - I used them as a guide of what park not to go to. We’ll probably go to the 30 minute thing a couple of days each trip now (hitting the higher tier IAS rides so we don’t have to pay for them) since it is spread among the parks and will be easier to navigate.
I have viewed any "source" as speculation with the only information based on logical information is Space Mountain and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train because of what's featured on the video.
Some sources are sourcier than others and their info isn't speculation.
Extra Magic Hours absolutely have been cut -
Here's a tip to make the most of Genie:
Doubt it. All this backlash is expected. The proof is in the pudding. If people are still flooding the parks, then Disney did nothing wrong.
There will only be two ways to do any one attraction:
Priorities shifted. When Pandora, Toy Story Land, and Galaxy's Edge opened, Magic Kingdom wasn't the park that needed dramatic extra magic hours. People like to conveniently forget when Animal Kingdom was staying open until 11pm many nights, or when it had extra magic hours every night for months straight, or when Hollywood Studios was opening at 7am *or earlier* for literally two years.Extra Magic Hours absolutely have been cut -
this most recent cut isn’t the most significant, but I remember the days of being in MK until 3am because EMH went for 3 hours after closing. That was a lot more valuable than 30 mins before park open
None of this is how it works. Genie's recommendations update on the fly and it won't suggest attractions with unusually high wait times.
I guess fair depends on how you look at it. A lot of people will think it isn't fair because they can't afford it. So now for them, just forget riding rise. It was bad enough getting a boarding pass as it was. Now add a paid option and forget about it. Pay to win is never the most fair option. But you are correct, Disney is a business. Fair is not what they are after. Money is, plain and simple. And since we're quoting Thanos, which is pretty spot on comparison for Disney. They only care about monetization, Dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same.
When WDW decided to start charging for resort parking there were endless posts objecting to it. I contacted the company (email) and voiced my objection to it. The response I got was they were just getting in line other resorts and hotels. As many have said Disney was always a cut above the rest --not any more. No matter how much people object to this Disney will go ahead because------they can and justify it by --others charge so can we. If you object don't buy it or object with your feet-don't go
That's not Disney's problem if they can't afford it. All the time on here I hear people posting how many days they are doing at the resort and I'm over here going, 'Days?!' I'm over here trying to plan a 1 day trip to Disneyland and we got people on this forum saying they plan on staying on property for 10 days or 15 days. You have any idea how damn rich you have to be to spend 10 days at Disney?! These are the last damn people I wana hear complain about not being able to afford a fastpass. These are the rich jerks who took up all the free fast passes 2 months ago in advance.
Go jump in your pool. This Genie so called system is designed to skim $$$$$ of the guests where before Disney was not skimming $$$$$ off the guests. The keep stand by lines moving, not having long fast pass lines and giving people more flexibility in their use of park time is
. I see a need for more guest services personnel once this starts.
No it was designed to solve the issue of fastpasses being sold out months in advance for the most popular rides leaving nothing for the majority of none resort hotel guests and keep the lines moving. Let me guess, you were one of the rich people I talked about who stayed 10 days at the resort. Well now I am glad you no longer get a free fastpass and if you want one you have to pay. Welcome to THE REAL WORLD where nothing is free.Go jump in your pool. This Genie so called system is designed to skim $$$$$ of the guests where before Disney was not skimming $$$$$ off the guests.

In the real world when something stinks people move away from it. The stench being emitted by this ill conceived and poorly designed Genie money grab is over powering. I feel bad for the guest services CM's.
