Nope.
you're missing the point, they will because theres only 3 options for Genie+
Figures, not surprised from a Disney apologist

100% if there are only 3 rides and they are booked till 4 pm befor you even get into the park at 10am refunds will be given. But I don't see it happening. Most people won't use it at akl for this very reason. Most will save the money and buy the IAS for fop instead.
Thats exactly my point of this post.......the problems with Genie+ but some people are MAJOR Disney apologists and wont admit it that Genie+ is going backwards and creates more problems than solutions and oh yeah, it costs you money too

You can get your next LL pass while waiting in line during your 1st LL ride.
Correct...........But from 7am until 10am when Epcot opens, all the TT, Soarin and Frozen Genie+ access has sold out
and you have ZERO chance unless you get up at 7am and book your first.......non rope droppers are screwed.............what % of park goers are rope droppers in your opinion?
my guess is 25% OR LESS of people that go to parks go at rope drop
so Disney is alienating 75% of their guests
in Magic Kingdom, I agree it works for rope droppers, for people who want to pay, for people who wake up at 7am...............But no chance if you go to parks in afternoon or sleep in even a little

You still think someone at 7am is gonna book 1 ride for 5pm? Not gonna happen.
Yup.....100%............Thats how old paper FP sold out all the time............
Epcot opened, people RAN to Soarin and it was sold out for the day within the first hour then those that missed it would move onto the next best ride and book that until it was gone
And if you dont think they will, what will they do? book Frozen for 2pm return? Fine then at 2pm you go to book your second and everything is gone
This is exactly how paper FP worked
There's not enough rides.........a busy day at Epcot will be completely sold out before the park opens is my guess and you will only get 1 ride for your Genie+
Not an apologist here, but you seem to be railing against a system that hasn't even been implemented yet, and no one on these forums has any idea how it will work or what any kind of restrictions there might be. You do realize that Disney knows that people sleep in on vacation, so it is very possible that they will hold back reservations for people like you. Time will certainly tell.
I also don't understand your assertion that AK has only 4 attractions.
Here is the list. I've starred the ones that will probably be part of Genie+.
*It's Tough to be a Bug
Avatar Flight of Passage
*Na'vi River Journey
*Festival of the Lion King
*Kilimanjaro Safaris
Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail
Rafiki's Planet Watch
*Finding Nemo - The Musical
Maharajah Jungle Trek
*Kali River Rapids
Expedition Everest
*UP! A Great Bird Adventure
Donald’s Dino-Bash!
Boneyard
*Tricera Top Spin
*Dinosaur

7am, you book your first ride (let's say BTMR) for 9am. Stay onsite, get to parks for the half hour early entry. Ride 7DMT and SM. Head over to BTMR for your 9am slot. Once in line, book your next ride, something that interests you and doesn't have a time too far out. Rinse and repeat for the day. You will be able to ride a good amount of rides, not all the ones you want to, but I'd say at LEAST three of the ones you must do.
Truth hurt?

Disney seems to have billions to invest in buying other companies maybe if they invested in the parks-- with more rides, more shows (soak up crowds), even build a 5Th gate to handle the capacity (crowds) Disney wouldn't have to dream up these bandaid attempts to reduce ride wait times.
Seriously? Ones that you would pay for and ones that will have wait timesNot an apologist here, but you seem to be railing against a system that hasn't even been implemented yet, and no one on these forums has any idea how it will work or what any kind of restrictions there might be.

you would pay for Gorilla Falls?
and the rest will not be offered on Genie+, including FOP and Safari b you have to pay IAS
Have you read anything on this Genie+ thing at all?
Correct.....works in MK (except you have to pay AND get up at 7am to reserve AND rope drop)
No problem there right El Magnifico? except for the 75% of guests that dont rope drop
I didn't place a star by Gorilla Falls. If FoP and Safari end up being the 2, the Everest will be there on Genie+ instead. Still 9 attractions available to reserve.
