For this to be true, assuming a 5 day work week, WDW would have to employ at least 175 tour guides. Probably closer to 200 to account for time off. That seems extremely unlikely to me.I have from solid sources that on the high demand days it's 125.
Don’t kid yourself, that $60,000 gets you like a 3 percent share.Gonna buy a $60,000 6% share of a river country prefab trailer
You're not accounting for the fact that some guides are casual, some tours are not the full day and the guide can sometimes have more than one party per day, they're (Disney) never afraid to pay overtime if it means accommodating demand, and there aren't always 125 tours per day, that's only on the busiest days.For this to be true, assuming a 5 day work week, WDW would have to employ at least 175 tour guides.

Private Tours are minimum 7 hours and you aren’t counting the guided group tours (KTTK, etc) doubt many are doing two tours a day.You're not accounting for the fact that some guides are casual, some tours are not the full day and the guide can sometimes have more than one party per day, they're (Disney) never afraid to pay overtime if it means accommodating demand, and there aren't always 125 tours per day, that's only on the busiest days.
They have over 200. They added like 40-50 just for Club 33 initial volume.For this to be true, assuming a 5 day work week, WDW would have to employ at least 175 tour guides. Probably closer to 200 to account for time off. That seems extremely unlikely to me.
Wonder how long will it be before Disney raises the base price of Genie+ equal to the highest price they charge no?So now standby which has been a ton of peoples complaints will end up worse is what you think happens. So in theory Genie+ hows higher priced and once again Disney says sc*ew you to regular paying guests.
Guides will occasionally do 14 hour days for the sake of overtime and the very generous tips they often get.Private Tours are minimum 7 hours and you aren’t counting the guided group tours (KTTK, etc) doubt many are doing two tours a day.
True. But everyone has their limits. Less-happy customers eventually turns into less customers if they’re left unhappy long enough.It’s not about making anyone happy. It’s about making more $$$.
I can’t imagine why any poster of this forum would have thee illusion that Disney gives a toot about the guest experience.
Paging @lentesta
Post-pandemic there were days at 150. It’s not that now.They aren’t
We’ve been over this 1000 times: Disney parks are middle class retreats…not luxury enclaves
TYDisney said - on the record to the NYT - 10 attractions in the MK in December 2010.
Ten per day in the MK feels like a decent estimate. It’s not 15 or 5.
People who are fraudulently abusing DAS have basically a free G+ which allows re-rides and never runs out throughout the day. Ten minute waits all the time. They can easily ride 3-5 rides an hour, while the other guests get 1-2 rides an hour.Having read through most of this thread, I’m convinced this is nothing more than shuffling the deck chairs on a sinking titanic.
People say keep saying these changes will send the abusers to the standby line, or make them buy genie+. Okay, well, either way, it still equates to a longer standby queue either by virtue of more people in it or by the same number of people in the LL line but just via genie+ instead of DAS. And if more people are buying genie+, then that line isn’t getting any shorter either. I don’t see how any of this will make anyone happier.
Disney has a wait time problem, but they’re trying to fix the wrong part first.
There is no way in hell they can do that nowOh, I was talking about Genie+, not DAS.
Did you mean to say 2010?Disney said - on the record to the NYT - 10 attractions in the MK in December 2010.

That’s possible…Maybe im different but on my worst day i was still able to pull 6 attractions at HS and 7 at MK. To me that would still be worth the cost to avoid those lines. Even if it only saved me say 20-30 minutes per ride. I know its awful logic and what Bob wants to hear but spending an extra 100 a day for 3 people when you factor in the total cost is well worth it to me.
Yes and they used to not limit it. So several people could get a reride. They limited the person returning in the last two years.Rider switch allows the person who waits to bring someone with them so they don't go alone. It's typically used for kids who are too small to ride certain rides with height requirements, but they allow someone to accompany the person who waited - even if it means someone gets to ride twice.
It isn't selling out now though. If they wanted to make G+ a more attractive service so it did on a regular basis, standby waits be damned, they could have done that a long time ago.
I don't doubt that the DAS changes are in no small part motivated by a desire to sell more Genie+, but a 50% increase in standby waits afterwards is just not believable. Give me any odds on that bet, and I'll take them.
Strictly Genie + last trip 6,7,11,9 rides i was able to get the 4 days i used it.That’s possible…
That’s just using standby? Or what system?
