Disney Genie announcement

[monstermash23]

Seeing the news hit the internet and came on the boards. Quick question, with Genie+ ride selections, do you only have the option of picking a “next available” time or can you actually select any available time you want for that day at 7am?

I'm actually kind of exited about this. Mostly, I'm very happy that Safari isn't $LL!

Right smack in the middle of my trip...

Looks like you can add it to *new* ticket orders as an option but *existing* tickets need to have it added on a daily basis?

Very very serious question... How insane is this going to make the parks on launch day??? The thought of logging in from my hotel at 7 am using a brand new Disney system is just a recipe for IT failure.

All the bloggers will be attacking the parks the first week to show this off on youtube

this is what I’m afraid of ugh

I'm curious how this will work with APs. Also annoyed that APs won't really see the benefit of the photopass, but still have to pay the same price.

And that is smack in the middle of our trip. I am not sure how to express my feelings regarding this. If it works, awesome. If not, barf.

Right there with you. Arriving 10/17.

do you think the bloggers will go all week, or just the first day?

Livestreams all week. Answering all your questions, showing you just how it works and how long the LL lines are!

Bloggers are there all the time. Honestly I don't think it'll be a noticeable difference with them spread out.

Dis anyone else see the report of the different prices for the Individual attraction selections?
Opinions? I was just adding up in my head the different prices if we go during busy time
next year. Then got a headache. Those prices will add up fast. Looks like we are standing
in line. lol

I hope you are right.

Congratulations to all of those who have been ‘volunteered‘ by Disney to be beta testers for their new system. Please report back, both those who pay for the privilege of being Genie-pigs & those who learn in real time how this impacts SB lines. I’m sure all will be smooth sailing, after all what could go wrong w/ an IT based system given Disney’s IT track record.

Is there anything official about only being able to book 1 per day each ride?

I can't find anything

I've been digging through and did not see this stated anywhere, but I haven't done my "super deep dive" yet. Lol

Didn't we think SDD was the 2nd choice at HS?

Dis anyone else see the report of the different prices for the Individual attraction selections?

I saw them. That would be a big fat NO for us. No way are we spending $25-30 for the 3 of us to ride Space Mountain, or $45 to get on Rise, or any of the other pay-to-ride options. If standby lines are long, we may never see some of those attractions again which I find incredibly sad. Hopefully Everest will at least keep the single rider line.

Disney is really working hard to make the parks less and less appealing.

This is the line I draw. I don't care what the ride is, I'm not paying per ride. $15 for 6 of us? No thanks. I'm glad there are only a few we'll miss because I won't stand in long lines and I won't pay upwards of $100. Hopefully, the IA$'s in the MK and Epcot will be open during the evening magic hours, otherwise, we skip them. I could pay it, but I'm not about to. It's insane.

Resist, we must!

If everyone stands in line, it will all work out just fine.
