That reminds me…specifically for @Jeff4272 …but everyone should know this info.
Unfortunately it’s super long…but it is the absolute best explanation of “line science” I’ve seen in public. And it explains why fastpass+ was a fail and ultimately lead us to genie (it was made before genie, however)
For a rainy day…

If they didn't the non resort guests who bought it wouldn't get the headliners and then would be quite upset.

Why should Disney care about them? Treat your resort guests and APs best.

If they keep the moratorium on APs going much longer…there WILL be no aps.
But I bet they return later in the summer.
But it also shows how much they “care” about demos that many assume they do.

Frustrating to see all those people walk by you while you wait in line. Knowing they are more special because they have paid chapstick $15 each.

Thank you! that is quite the complement and I think you nailed your description of me perfectly!He always is unhinged. He is very "black and white" and "either/or". That's the way a child thinks. He flat out attacks anyone who does not immediately say that Genie+ is a huge pile of garbage. God forbid you say you like it. His head would literally blow right off his shoulders.I don't understand why anybody would like it either but if you were to say that you like it he's liable to hunt you down. In the very least if you don't agree with him (exactly as he thinks and feels about this Genie+) then he's at least going to call you a liar. He gets fanatical about it. It's almost as if he has some personal vested interest in seeing it fail. In my opinion, it was a failure right out the gate but that isn't even enough to satisfy him. Even me feeling the way I do about Genie+ gets me called an apologist or an employee by him. He's deranged.
FACT!

I look forward to it.
The concept is not “preference” in systems…it’s a numeric breakdown of why legacy worked more effectively for the total crowd and why FP+ crushed their ability to handle the Crowd in a way where it didn’t feel like “losing” to a big segment of the daily attendees.
And the wall st solution…unfortunately that we have now…is monetize it…which solves all problems To the boss.

Thanks. I think it's only fair to warn you that I drive really fast.

I know it will be frustrating, but I won't be riding a ton of rides this trip. My mom walks with a cane now and there are a lot of rides off limits for her, so I'll be sitting with her waiting while the rest of our party rides.
(For those of you that remember I said I wasn't purchasing park tickets, I had enough Disney reward points to buy 2 two day tickets, one for me, one for my Mom.)
Here is a look at the Festival of Fantasy Parade viewing area for Genie+ Lightning Lane.

Being on the inside of the circle is one of the worst viewing angles because you can't see much of what's coming or what has passed one by.Here is a look at the Festival of Fantasy Parade viewing area for Genie+ Lightning Lane.

As this photo shows, being on the outside let's you see what's coming much further in advance, plus, it looks like the parade is heading straight for you.
So, one is paying for a worse viewing position.

I have thought that they painted themselves into this corner when they spent so much on MyMagic with promises of major revenue streams that didn't really materialize. From that point onward, it seemed a matter of time until they added a cost to it. To make it seem that they are doing it "for the guests", is a laughable marketing ploy.

So we’re back for “premiere parade viewing” again, huh?
This time for money?

I really like staking a place out at the 1 o’clock position in the middle of the hub for BTY. I have some great shots of the Pirate Ship with the castle in the background, along with other parade elements. However that’s at night (so no shade no problem) and it allowed me to watch Hocus Pocus, no way would I want to be in the concrete sweat box for the afternoon parade.
