I *think* it should be as easy as the vacation reservation holder getting x number of day tickets dropped on their phone the day the cancellation window closes. Maybe Disney wants you to go through a hoop to activate them so they can predict demand, and they probably will give out hard cards if you go to your hotel desk at check in or bring your reservation number to a TL/BB ticket window, but it should be within the realm of possibility to let guests assign the tickets themselves before they get on property.

News Walt Disney World Adds Water Park Perk for 2025 Resort Guests
- Thread starter DCBaker
- Start date
The Genie+ stuff keeps getting delayed, evolved, and modified, so I think we are at that point that it happens when it happens. They are way behind their original timeline for changes.
Yes to both, I confirmed with Disney.

They are, and were supposed to be announced *before* the water park access.
Curious as to what they're countering.

My initial guess is that the G+ software changes were mixed in with DAS changes. And DAS changes got put on hold over the Six Flags lawsuit. I could be wrong.

Dining reservation window is per resort now and not just length of stay (no more "dining fix" since Covid). So in this instance we likely get the benefit of a free water park day in the middle of the vacation with a split stay. In addition to the true arrival day if that even works out.

Sorry for another question. Do you know if would this also be for just resort guests or for everyone?
Whatever it is, we will just adapt. Thanks for all the information today.

Some rigged way to prebook.
Now we can all plan from the bathroom like the glorious days of 2016

And you know why? It’s NEVER worked for me…15 year “glitch”…apparently

You aren't, from what I can tell.
They really, *really* want to get the G+ changes out there.

It will still suck without more seats
Forever
And if they try to REALLY monetize it…then their attendance will sink into the quicksand faster than you can say “never ending story”
Quite the management skill we got going here in real time, eh?
There were plans to have different options for different segments of the visitor base. How it ends up actually looking when rolled out remains to be seen.

It’s a numbers problem…nothing they do will fix thatI can't wait until everybody complaining about the 7am wake up has to wake up at early for a whole week before vacation. I'm sure guest satisfaction will rise

They really, really don't want to rollback those rack rates, so they have to add value.

I see what they’re doing (though no one will agree until there’s a press release
)They are trying not to slash tickets and rooms. Because to do so is a signal to the street they have reached their price ceiling
Do they have a price ceiling? Of course they do…we hit it (bonus points for anyone that figures out the signs?)
But someone has done speeches in sun valley for 15 years claiming there is no price ceiling for his IP
Cough…cough.
And before anyone who hates me (deservedly so) writes what I’m saying off? I got this really annoying streak of being right going…so don’t poke the bear
