I agree. While I didn't find the system in general difficult to use, I do think the terminology/names they use for the system can be very confusing. They could have done a much better job of naming thing and that would eliminate a lot of the initial confusion.

The names Lightning Lane and Individual Lightning Lane with 2 different ways to get them was not a smart idea in terms of less confusion for some. Not sure why they didn’t just stick with fastpass

They needed to muddy the water so it didn’t seem like they were just charging for what was previously free. Even though that’s exactly what they were doing.

The price for Genie+ has increased to $25 today ($3 more than yesterday). The last time Genie+ was $25 was April 15.

Based on anecdotal crowd levels from this weekend so far it should not be $25 today. I am starting to agree that while it first started out as variable pricing based on crowd density, it is now just “let’s throw a price up and see if people will pay it.”

Or, “we’re not hitting our revenue projects because fewer people are here during a normally busy time, so pull that lever over there”

It was $25 yesterday, which seems to be the standard Monday pricing...an inexplicable increase from weekends.

I just got back from a 12 day trip. Spent over $900 extra on Genie+ and ILLs and that's with just 2 of us (and we didn't go to the parks every day).

Don't even get me started on the zig-zagging across the park that took place each day and rides being down at times which cause it to be less useful.

There has to be a better way

I agree that there has to be a better way. I feel like one of the biggest complaints (even thought it was free) about FP+ was the zig-zagging. I can’t believe they didn’t want to try and fix that when they did this Genie+ nonsense.

The unfortunate part is that because the parks are so under built and people still flock to the parks that a lineskip system of some sort is a must, and until they replace it, people will keep buying it.

I did zero zig-zagging with FP+ because I could select my 3 ahead of time in the areas I was gonna be in plus had the ability to select what times I wanted initially and when booking more later in the day. That selecting a time feature so desperately needs to be added in my opinion.

We can select times for ILLs but not LLs which makes planning even more difficult because no one wants to pay more for an ILL and risk missing it
