If they are smart they will wait until some of the negative reviews of the new 50th shows dies down before implementing this mess because ya know what’s coming with this

Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

- Start date
Curious — other than this site, what other sites are rumoring that date? I haven’t seen it elsewhere personally.
Our first day in the parks is October 22. I'll try to post our experiences if Genie+ is in play by that time. Should have some downtime between buying it at midnight and planning our rides at 7 am
I'll make sure to log on right before you and crash the whole system.

Narrator: they won't wait.
I'd trust this site over virtually any other when it comes to rumors.
Oh I 100% agree. I was more curious what other sites (which may very well be getting info from this site) also are rumoring that date, since I haven’t seen it anywhere else.
Is it wishful thinking to think this is delayed due to the reception the announcement recieved? I know Disney doesn't usually care when they announce bad news, but this went over like a fart in church.
Maybe some re-tooling before launch?
Then again, more bad news has trickled out about no re-rides and how Genie+ is basically useless at EP and AK due to the 2 IA$ rides at each.

Remy doesn't seem to be living up to the demand expected either. Boarding groups are consistently available. Maybe they need to time reassess what will be a IA$ again.
IMO, the problem with Remy is you have to "waste" a park reservation day with Epcot.

No. If it's delayed it's due to lack of demand.
I could see them launching without IAS if crowds stay light.
The best four attractions at Epcot and the best one attraction at Animal Kingdom are not IAS attractions. Their picks were great news for guests.

No you don't. BGs have been available after the park hopping window.
Probably because people are not wasting a park reservation on EP.
About how long into the day are they still available?
As of now, our plan for EP is hopping late in the day on a Deluxe hour night. Have dinner, then stay late to do everything. More than likely, this will cause us to miss Remy. Won't be disappointed though.

I think it's the other way around... I think you'd be better off to sell the IAS alone - then introduce Genie+ as a 'bulk offer' of LL access once the need for many attractions is there.
The problem with Genie+ right now is, it offers a 1 time feature for rides that don't need it. So Genie+ is the one being hindered, not IAS. IAS for the headliners ... those rides still have the highest demand. So sell IAS for that and then build the demand for lineskip for other rides too.. then offer Genie+ LL access.
If you were to put the headliners in the normal Genie+ offer... it's going to be messy to pull them out at a later iteration.

Nobody is going to buy IAS for the current slate of rides except Rise and MAYBE Flight of Passage. Ratatouille was a flop and that was the only other candidate until Tron and Guardians.

That's my hope - that it flops and they roll it into the Genie+ offering. I think if they abandon IA$, they could have a compelling package if all attractions are included (even if they limit tier-1 types to 2 per day..). Agree that Rise and FoP are the only real candidates for IA$ being moderately successful...
I don't think Rat is a flop, it's just not an E-Ticket and was never meant to be - but it is a flop in the sense that it won't be a huge IA$ draw.

Story will change as we get into the holiday period... Stories of WDW demand death are greatly exaggerated IMO.
Besides, Disney just starts running rides at lower capacities... then the waits and 'demand' magically increases.
The hour plus waits will return...
How can something for which we had no date be delayed?

"Internally Delayed" but not publicly delayed. Just like Tron.

I don't think think it's WDW demand death, I think it's tourism demand death, courtesy of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
JetBlue is advertising flights from Providence to Orlando for $64. That's insane.

Years ago i had both but im not local enough living an hour away makes weekdays pretty meh i have done it but its nothing to write home about therefor its weekends only. Not only could i not buy a pass back forever for Disney but the old silver simply worked better for my scenario. There is no price point where it makes sense for me to visit during the week. So i got uni passes again. Look i miss disney but the overall way they have been running the place i do not plan on buying passes. I will prob buy a day or two sometime during the 50th but thats it. I don't have thousands for disney each year like many here do. If im buying a disney AP it has to make sense to me, to have value.
