Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

Hope you landed before 7am. Got to get that first selection in!

I actually might have done better being stuck till 830 than going right at 7

I really don't think anyone is complaining about DAS users. The issue is using DAS as an example to "prove" how great G+ is, it's deceptive.

Genie+ has dropped back down to $20 today.

My family of 4 will be there March 5-11. We have 5 park days but I don’t think we’ll need it on our AK day. Do you think it will be $20 that week? Really hoping it’s not higher than that

Its just before spring break, and I'm not aware of any holidays around that time, so it wont be peak pricing. $20 is probably likely.

It's so weird that they're still going with the line about how "average use is 2-3 LLs per day." If you're not getting 2-3 LLs before lunch time, you're doing something wrong.

…well, Bob was “apalled” at the pricing…a. According to Chrissy

Maybe he meant he was appalled at how cheap it is.

The system itself encourages newbies to go for slinky dinky and rat…which means you kill that possibility.

I’m not gonna blame customers for Disneys obvious capacity decision mistakes…
…but they are to blame for not reacting as the market dictates

Still... the use of the word "average" just seems off. 2-3 should be minimum, worst case scenario, you-really-suck-at-this-and-picked-all-the-wrong-things usage.

Sure you could more if you want to use it for things like Buzz Lightyear, It's a Small World or Little Mermaid.

How much have you used this thing?

There are alot of pitfalls…
Even if you’re someone like me that sees through the ops tricks like Saran Wrap

Which gets us back to the fastpass+ stupidity: creating bottlenecks where there never should be any and hurting the bottomline

IMO they should scrap it Genie+ and just go paid LL for the top rides.

They don’t have the capacity to handle the crowds. There were 1.5-2 hour lines on busy days for rides like pirates, splash and big thunder before fastpass…30 years ago.

That was when they had 25,000,000 less Annual park visitors.

You can say express pass a billion times…but it does not fit this model

IMO there is no model that works. With how long they take to add new attractions that's not happening quick enough. I still maintain their will never be enough capacity for everyone to have access to this system

There only option is to build more capacity as they maintain flat attendance

I agree but we know it's now happening.

They may not have a choice…they’re cutting into their future parks business and are running out of options

Too little too late IMO. By the time they announce anything new Epic Universe will be open.
