I have too. Just ask captain America. I’ve used it more than him

However you want to feel about it. We went to Hollywood Studios on the 16th. I even had Savi's and Oga's booked for that day. The only attraction we did not do that day was Muppets 3D and that's only because we forgot about it.
It’s just not possible but good for you!

Sure. I suppose you're right. I must have been dreaming. Dang!! And here I thought we rode everything. So glad you're here to set me straight.

Apparently I must have dreamt it, too, when our family did something similar in June (we chose to skip BATB and Lightning McQueen because we wanted to go back to the resort for a rest/swim...something we had plenty of time for because of Genie+). And I guess we dreamt it when a similar thing happened at AK, EP, and MK that week as well. Darn. It felt so real.

You have obviously mastered Genie+ and ILL.
What's methods did you employ for such a successful day?

As ive stated multiple times about my disdain for Genie. I have used it twice once in November when it opened once this past summer Late Aug/Sept for 10- 11 days both trips. 2 completely different experiences. This past trip literally was going ride to ride using Genie i was in absolute shock and awe especially after my miserable experience the 1st time using it….

I mean 3 days ago I walked into HS around 6:15pm. I had a LL for MMRR at 6:05pm. Got LLs and rode TOT and RNRC while in the park. Left at 7:45pm to catch harmonious. Played the refresh game while waiting in line (probably 5-10 mins of refreshing both times).
HS would be easy to conquer in a day with G+ and a little refreshing. Even easier if you buy ILL for RotR.
Edit:Google maps says I was in DHS from 6:27pm to 7:48pm

Which we did.
But yeah, TQQQ can choose to think I am lying. Whatever floats his boat. I know what we did and did not do.

I would like to add that even though G+ worked out I still think it's a stupid thing for Disney to have implemented and I really didn't like the idea of having to pay for it. Also, I can guarantee you that not everyone is going to have the same experience that I had. If the parks had been packed to the breaking point or if I had not purchased the ILL's then it would have been an entirely different experience for us. I did feel that I was on my phone a lot more than I really wanted to be and we did have to traverse the park from one side to the other side back and forth several times in order to utilize the G+ effectively. But we did get to do everything we wanted to do except for the few things we forgot.
Animal Kingdom was the most effective of all the parks using G+. We did everything.
The only reason we didn't do Muppets 3D at Hollywood studios because we just simply forgot about it. We had to sit out in the sun at Backlot Express to eat and I was cooking. I was just ready to go at that point.
Magic Kingdom was the most difficult park to use the G+ service with but we had two full days at this park including a MNSSHP where G+ is not even an option. During the Halloween party every ride was a "walk on".
Epcot was just a horrible day because it was freezing from the time we got out of the hotel that morning. It didn't get much better as the day went on but at least I didn't need my blanket after 12:00 PM. (PSA: If you stay at Pop or AoA and want to get to Ep or DHS early then get to the Skyliner no later than 105 to 120 minutes before park open. Dang! That line disappeared around the corner of the Pop buildings by 7am. It was a LONG one.)
In the end I felt very happy with the amount of attractions and rides that we were able to accomplish especially since I had two first timers with us. My thoughts on G+ still remain negative and I feel Disney needs to scrap the whole idea and go back to FP+. We shouldn't have to be on our phones that much in the parks. And if you have a very busy day then G+ is useless.

Very happy to see Genie+ and ILLs worked for you.
What was the grand total cost for Genie+ and ILLs for your entire party for the length of your stay?
"My thoughts on G+ still remain negative and I feel Disney needs to scrap the whole idea and go back to FP+"
I don't know how you got that Genie+ "worked" for them from that statement...........More like a 'unnecessary' evil
Cost a lot of money
Had to get up early to book
was on phone all day
criss crossing the parks
If thats your definition of "working" then i feel bad for you and Disney has a deluxe hotel room (thats really like a Sheraton) that they want to sell you
Apologists are the WORST!

@TQQQ , tell us how you really feel about Genie+ and ILL
My Definition of "worked" is you were able to actual use it to get on attractions.
As for having to pay, there is nothing we can do about that now
Its Death, Taxes, Genie+ and ILL
