You have no idea what the wait times are going to be. So no, I'm not messing around.

I wake up at 6:30 every morning at wdw to get ready and rope drop. Having an alarm wake me up, experience a moment of confusion, only to realize I'm going to the parks today is the best feeling ever! Having to pay does suck, however I plan to only use it for MK and maybe one other park once I see how everything works, so that's not so bad (plus I'm just a party of two). I can see how the extra cost would be troublesome for larger families though.
I'm still betting that the people over at Touring Plans are going to figure out the best ways to use this new system. If it works, and I have a great day at Disney doing most of the things I really want to do, then I'm happy. I'm sure they will come up with different scenarios as well: those who are late starters, those who don't want to pay, those who do want to pay for Genie +, those who only want to pay for individual attractions, etc..
Have you ever waited for any of these? I havent
And Donalds Dino Bash is long gone (kind of proves to me you dont read anything about it)

75%+ of guests dont do rope drop
Sorry, forgot to delete that one. And yes, I've waited for every one of them at one time or another. Guess you must be the luckiest person to visit WDW without waits for all those attractions.
You have no idea what percentage rope drop. You're just making things up to support your argument that Genie+ will not work for a lot of people, when you have ZERO idea if it will or not.
^^^This. Nothing says you have to buy it for every park for every day of your trip. Nothing.
Thats not true......there will be lines, but Genie+ will be sold out and you cant get pass to skip
Wait a minute. I thought you just said there aren't any lines. So which is it?
Correct....the point of my post
Genie+ has MANY flaws and its not worth it in AK or Epcot so Disney went backwards in their thinking and strategy with these parks since you cannot skip the lines
Wow......Lines for EE, Dinosuar, Kali and Navi (the 4 Genie+ rides)
But since theres only these 4 people will book and they will sell out, you will likely only get 1 ride skip of these 4
not the crap you mentioned and you can walk on those
stay with me here..............maybe read the first post?
MK gets 60k people a day, how many rope drop?
not alot, thats why people go and why the lines are shorter
I bet it's 10-12k so under 20% but i was rounding up

It's his vacation and he can spend it however he wishes. Your opinion on how he spends his time is irrelevant.
75-80% of people dont rope drop...........SO this is a negative for 75-80% of resort guests
My guess is they will TWEAK Genie+ to allow you (maybe just resort guests) to pick your return time
So i want to go Typhoon Lagoon for the day and then to MK at night.............at 7am, I book Thunder for 5pm return time....at 9am i booked splash mtn for 6pm return time and at 11am i book pirates for 7pm return time, etc. until it sells out
It's a capacity issue and they know it is a issue and don't care because they can charge more. I would say its even part of the grand plan to make the parks boutique, and lower attendance. The headliners they develop have miserable capacity, ie RoTR. They want the guests who don't bat an eye at added expenses not the masses. I am surprised that they didn't make this only available to onsite guests both they may correct that in the future.
Meanwhile Universal builds a new park, adds value resorts, and offers express for guests at their high end resorts. We'll see whose business plan is more profitable in the end.
