I agree having no ADR's and maximum (schedule) flexibility are ways to be more successful with G+ (and ILL's, BG), and that we should use this forum to discuss both the good and bad of the new pass system. For now, it is what it is, so we should figure out how to work with it (or work around it).
I thought you'd read enough of my posts to remember me. My bad.
Great. You just gave them the idea to add a bot detector to the app. Now we will have to click "I'm not a robot" check box and choose all the crosswalks, busses, boats, or Mickeys.
(/sarcasm)
I believe someone has tried this.
At least one person out there has it then. The person that wrote the program.
200 to 1? You actually expect us to believe you counted 200 people for every 1 standby guest? Okay.Another thing... some rides are clearly giving out too many Lightning Lanes. At the Magic Kingdom for example (the one park best suited for Genie+ because of its "plethora" of attractions), Peter Pan should not be seeing 200 guests go for every 1 party from stand-by. And yes, I counted.
Last thing... I wouldn't waste my purchase on this at Animal Kingdom unless I was park hopping somewhere else that night.
I kinda wonder if there's a market for a virtual "tour guide" of sorts. Pay someone a certain amount of money to manage your groups G+ reservations remotely. You could text/call them to keep them updated on plans/ tap ins. They can play the refresh game for you.
I could be mistaken due to the time difference, but aren't the parks closed today and tomorrow? Could that be the reason why Genie+ appears to be sold out, as in 'not available for purchase'?

Funny story time. I was in WDW at the beginning of May. We got in line for Peter Pan when the wait said 45 minutes. 45 minutes later, we hadn't made it into the bedroom yet, but we figured we had already committed, so we forged on. Shortly after that, one member of my party decided to leave the line and wait for the rest of us outside. He also started observing the merge and told us it was something along the lines of 1 standby party for every 12 or so LL parties. By the time we got into the final standby hallway (about 2 hours after getting in line), we could see that it was indeed moving by only 1 party every 5 or so minutes. When we saw a single rider 2 parties ahead of us get taken as the only person from the standby line, after the CM had taken him up to the merge point, another member of my people jokingly said out loud "we should just say we have 15 people". Everyone laughed. When the CM came back and asked how many in the next party, the family of 3 in front of us said 15! The CM said "hmm, ok", looked around the corner, and when it was time for the next standby party, all 15 members of our "family" walked up to the merge point.Yeah actually... the party ahead of us was just a single rider and they quite literally let her go and held us after 200 people went thru the lightning lane. But pop off I guess
We didn't move for like 4 minutes.
'Ohana!
I’m curious too.
Yes, I was just making a joke. I know when Disney stopped letting people pre-buy G+ there was a fear that you would have to stay up until midnight to buy G+ (before it sold out) then wake up at 7am to book the first LL. As far as I know G+ has never sold out... Although yesterday/today are the first 2 days that people were unable to buy G+ aka "sold out".
This past Monday at about 3pm or so.
Doh!!!!!!!
