I'm not expecting much of a price change policy change from current Genie+

What's interesting to me is that it looks like they removed the park hopper option... which means all of these basically turn into park hoppers.

I think this makes it less likely that all the prebook rules "unlock" at a certain time. Otherwise, someone could pay for the AK LLMP then at midnight or 7am or whatever try to book 3 MK tier 1s.

If that's the case, this makes Epcot and AK more appealing booking options now.

What we still don't know if any of the rules on the prebooks ever "unlock" or if you have to use 1 tier 1 and 2 tier 2s in the same park (or just 3 LLs in AK).

There are a few schools of thought on this:
1) Restricts on the first LL on each "track" remain in place until used or expired
2) Restrictions on all LLs "unlock" at a certain time (midnight, 7am, or park open)
3) Restrictions on all the tracks "unlock" once any LL is used.

I think #2 just became unlikely due to the different price in each park and #1 is probably the most likely.

If it is #1, I think it will be common to book 1 "burner" LL at EPCOT(Figment/Pixar) and AK(ITTBAB) right at park open and either tap in or let it expire so you get an unlocked LL earlier.

I'd emphasize that while the MDE code seems ready, there's likely back-end code and data not yet in place.

i do not think people will find any value in the new Genie+ or whatever it is now being called......You can buy 2 ILL's and get a VQ for the top rides....why would you then buy Genie+ on top of that for 1 more Tier 1 ride? doenst make sense to me but what do I know

Time is money. Any time you can save at a theme park can be valuable.
Here are the wait times you could skip right now if you used LLMP on the highest wait time attractions right now:
MK $29: Space (55), HM (40), small world (35) assume 10 min for each LL =$0.29 per min saved
EPCOT $21: Soarin (75), MS (35), Nemo (15) = $0.22 per min saved
DHS $26: RNRC (70), ToT (60), TSMM (45) = $0.18 per min saved
AK $18: Kali (70), Navi (55), EE (35)=$0.14 per min saved

This also assumes you don't pick up any additional LLs after your first 3. MK at the very least will definitely have valuable ones after you tap into your first one.

SO if i buy Tron, Seven Dwarfs and Genie+ i could be looking at $75pp? $75x6 of us is another $450 for the day to skip the rides......seems like a very steep price to pay for me, especially if thats 5 park days........

What's the argument here? You don't have to, and honestly only MK is worth the cost.

To be fair, this is unchanged from the system they’ve had in place today and previously. The only real difference with Genie+ and the new system coming tomorrow is the addition of the tiering that’s applicable to prebooking. The paid system has always removed the (arguably) most in demand attraction(s) and gave it its own charge. I agree it’s steep, but not new. They know enough people do value it.

Also look at it this way (I'll use 2 months out as a good benchmark).

Since you said 6 people and 5 "park days" I'm going to try to build a trip as cheap as possible.
4 nights at the cheapest onsite hotel= 2 rooms at the all star sports for $1616.12
5 day non-park hopper tickets for 6 people =$3616.56
5 park days of food/drink for 6 people is probably a minimum of $35 per day per person (and this is extremely cheap) = $1050

Total before travel expenses, snacks, nicer hotel, snacks, souvenirs, ect = $6,282.68 or $209.42 per person per day

Assuming you are able to be in the park 12 hours a day= $17 per person per hour per day or ~$0.29 per min to be in the park.

Personally, I feel like any time waiting in a line is "wasted" time. So anything that can save you that ~$0.30 a minute is a good value to me.

Again time is money. If you are already spending $209 per day just to be there and not die of starvation... an extra ~$25 feels worth it to skip hour's worth of lines.
My last trip for 2 adults and one "free" infant cost me $3,491.60 not including airfare for 2 park days. ~$100 of that was G+ which got me probably on an extra ~30% of attractions I wouldn't do otherwise.

I didn't think it was possible, but they've made it even more complicated. 🙄
Idk I don't mind how the screenshots are looking. Seems logical, and will give people a better guarantee of what they're paying for upfront... anything to make the day-of experience is a winner for me
