I can give you a made up scenario if you would like that can highlight the issue. It might be a bit long but bear with me.
To make up $10 million dollars, Disney would need to profit an additional $27,397.26 a day. If G+ averages $25 a day you are only talking 1,096 people a day to offset that $10million dollar lawsuit.
Even if I had the exact numbers, I wouldn't be able to share them. Nobody could. Disney doesn't take kindly to sharing proprietary information.
I think you are right now that I think about it. DAS gave guests a sooner return time. When the new system is in place and there are many, many more Gene+ users in competition for return time slots, it will be very common to get a return time that is 6 hours away from Genie+ and those folks will not be in the queue for 6 hours.
That is crazy!! Between tour guide and DAS crackdowns I do think that will decrease… for now at least. Long term, though, I think Disney needs to have a better product out there. If these families are willing to pay for tour guides they would no doubt be fine paying for Genie, if it actually worked.
A fixed rate and stay 10-20 min in wait. I also suspect that G+ users will get 5-7 attractions.
I loves me some Disney, I really do, but I have no illusions about the nature of our relationship, lol. The standby lane will be left to rot, and that’s just the way it is. Genie users will likely be getting an upgraded, if more expensive, deal. Pre-selects and better availability at a minimum.
We don't know what changes (if any) are coming for Genie+. When we know we can speculate about that
G+ guests are a small minority of LL guests, 20% to the 80% of DAS guests. If Disney flipped that ratio and decreased the LL total by 20% then G+ guests would have a 3.1x increase in ride capacity or rides available and normal guests would see a decrease in wait times of 12% if Disney kept sales steady. If Disney increased G+ sales per day by 50% but kept LL access at 80% pre change days G+ guests would still have 2x the ride access.A fixed rate and stay 10-20 min in wait. I also suspect that G+ users will get 5-7 attractions.
Wow, that would be amazing. The 5 to 7 attractions is really amazing.
Lets see what happens and we will revisit these numbers and see what the reality is.
To mechanical issues, I would add "outside fist fights in the queues due to the return to line rule"
I think they cap Genie+ because they already don’t have enough availability for it, I don’t think that involves concern for standby.We don't know what changes (if any) are coming for Genie+. When we know we can speculate about that
I truly don't think Disney wants stand by guests to rot thought. They wouldn't cap Genie+ if they did.
They have been correct? Wasn't that the news about the bans a few weeks ago?
Yea i guess when they stopped those groups. I didnt realize it was DAS related. Thought they just stopped allowing 3rd party to operate and make money in their parks…
I believe 80% is the absolute max (may be as low as 50%) for new rides and popular e-tickets, not overall capacity.
70% of a rides capacity is going to DAS guests according to our insiders. If 90% of a rides capacity goes to LL DAS is 78% of the LL. I used 80% to make the math easier.
Also less DAS users in LL means Disney can offer say 50% more drops to LL which would make G+ much more attractive.
I guess its possible if they don't increase the number of Genie+ sold per day and folks get return times 6 hours away (due to the increased competition for return times) and they give up and never return to use it, I can see LL could decrease by 20 percent.
8 out of every 10 guests laughing down the lane was DAS. That’s the issue.
