I never understood the people who brag about not having a smart phone like it’s some badge of honor…. It’s such a boomer thing to be proud of.I sure am glad I don't own a smart phone.
Seriously, I do not own one...never have.
Looks like I'll be rockin' the Parks 'old school'....standby only.
Woo!
Too bad I won't be able to experience any of the newer Attractions, but hey, that just adds to the 'old school' vibe of the day.

Its supposed to for Tier 2 rides and lower. Now what exactly is a Tier 2 ride seems to be a point of contention. The problem with this being if Everybody is convinced they can do this and get faster line access then this will become the as long as the old Stand By line which totally defeats its purpose.
They've announced it's coming as a paid option. So, yes, ROTR, the ride in which it was highly difficult to secure a BG during low capacity and moderately attended days, is going to have its already small number of available slots reduced and set aside further for premium purchasers.
1 is self explanatory. You get in stand by line and wait. 4 only applies to 2 rides. So it's really 2 and 3 that someone will really need to figure out as an average guest. And the pay per ride option is for the headliners not part of Genie+..the only thing you need to know that was not the case prior, is you have to pay and you choose an available time. The Genie plus is the one that will require the most adaptation.
In all seriousness I wonder how long the video call for DAS farce will last? They really are naive if they think video calls will deter the immoral.
I must have really misunderstood the announcement. Are you saying with genie+ I can just join a fast lane of any tier 2 ride whenever I want? I thought I had to book a pass using the genie system for a time in the future.
And how much do you want to bet that the paid passes go within the first 30 microseconds that follow the virtual cues
. It still means that if your internet didn't work until 7:01 you're screwed.
My guess is that a large number of guests (the majority?) will barely touch the genie planning stuff at all. Will just use it as tier 2 Maxpass.
1.5 - 2 attractions per guest per hour as a baseline capacity goal is also industry standard but it hasn’t stopped Disney from spending years and billions to get it as low as possible. All of this complexity to try and make people the right amount of miserable instead of just trying to make them happy.
And you’d be painfully wrong. The majority will most definitely shill out the $15 a day.
Agreed. I meant the planning aspect. Many will use the tier 2 Maxpass.
Ahhh, the good ol’ days. When one person in your party ran from ride to ride to get the paper Fastpasses. I miss those days, even more so right about now
There's a lot of room for downside before they feel anything.
Rise, Smugglers, Tron, Guardians and Ratatouille say hello.
I’m a little appalled this is being brought up so much on the blogoverse since 4 pm. You’re not “getting around it” people…you’re paying for rides. Acceptance is a part of healing.
Always…the one thing that won’t be discussed
…says someone who obviously has never had a bear snooping around their camp in Yellowstone at nightNature, and it's a lot less expensive and significantly less stressful.
Rides cost money and staff and spare parts…the last two incompetents at the top (and the sad last chapter of the one before)…have spent over 2 decades trying to convince themselves they are optional.
