Same as usual. Are you a new CM?

Agree totally…but enough STILL buy it
On a different note; hope the Tron Que remaining open for the record amount of time is just an aberration as we were hoping it would be a people eater….may not be the case
Still a people eater just less people in the parks overall

I'll be the odd person out and say I hope they *don't* drop 7DMT as an ILL. I could easily skip the ride, but the rest of my family likes to ride it every visit. While none of us think it's worth $11 to ride, we buy the ILL for it because then we don't have to do the mad dash at rope drop and still spend 20-30 minutes waiting in line for it (I have no desire to even wait 20 minutes for it). Last June we bought the ILL, did 3 other rides during Early Entry instead of just riding 7DMT. Then we rode 7DMT with no wait as we left the park right after lunch. That was totally worth the $11 to us. We didn't have to wait in line at all and we rode it at a time that was convenient for us, freeing us up to ride other rides early in the morning and late at night.

Hope BOTH remain to be the case through mid-May

Yes
The key here is the huge opportunity cost to ride it at Rope Drop….losing the opportunity to ride many others, then head to the ILL….SO TRUE at the Studios and the “other” side of the Park at rope drop….the RnR coaster and Tower can BOTH be ridden easily while struggle at the Slinky and Star Wars
Early Entry is so key. Do what you can in SW and TS during it but hit Mickey right at regular opening and then do Tower, over and over again.

My usual flow is SDD, then ToT. After that it depends on whether I bought G+ or not that day. But rope dropping early entry is critically important to an easy morning at DHS

Will those days of TOT over and over again during Fantasmic ever return?

I'm too old to answer that question. After 2 rides I'm not functional for at least 45 minutes.

I know what you mean. After Tron yesterday, which I found more intense than expected, there was no way I was getting on SM next.
So $20/person for Genie- is the new price floor?

Seems that way. It's been $20 for me all this week. I haven't seen it any less.

Sounds about right. That used to be the price for Maxpass with photopass and now the ride photos are included in WDW as well with G+. I'm glad they didn't go higher than that.

I think that depends on what your priorities are. Like, is the goal to be on rides constantly and do as much as possible? Or are you staying somewhere on property with early entry that would allow you to do a couple things you really want right off the bat, and if so, would you be cool taking it easy the rest of the day? I think which systems you engage with will depend on the experience you want.
Yeah it truly depends on your vacation. Are you there for just a day or are you staying on resort for x amount of days? Are you going to be there right at opening staying all day or coming later?

We are long time visitors. We are on site for 3 days and only going to MK the one day. We will do as many attractions as we can but it's not hyper critical as we have done everything countless times. Just me and my wife so we like to relax a bit. The only thing I would love to get on is TRON. At a certain level I would like to try Genie+ but I'm not completely keen on spending more than I have to.
I'm wondering also if anyone has a comment on current crowd levels.
