Sounds like starting in DL was much better yesterday. We started in DCA and at 8am park opening these were the rides that were down: Radiator Springs Racers, Web Slingers, Toy Story, Goofy’s Sky School, Ariel and the Golden Zypher. Additionally Monsters Inc was down for refurbishment.
By 8:15 LL return times for Toy Story and Web Slingers were already an 11am return. Two hours later when we could get another LL, the return times were 2:30. The main issue is we couldn’t ride things standby in the early morning hours because everything was down.
RSR opened first and standby was immediately 120 minutes. The others were down all morning. Ariel and Toy Story didn’t open until lunchtime. It was a really rough day for rides at DCA yesterday. And of course you can’t hop to the other park until 1pm, so you’re stuck.
We only got to do two LL rides in DCA before we hopped to DL at 4pm. This is in part because the return times were pushed so far out and partly because we had a few rides we wanted to do in DL (HMH, Big Thunder, Star Tours) and therefore had to get those for later then wait the two hours. At DL we got to do those three rides only due to the return times being pushed out so far and we had to leave for the night.
All in all, starting in DCA was horrible yesterday. Such a terrible value and
Genie+ is a truly awful product. And I know the “tricks” and how to use it and even so I feel cheated out of $40 and only able to use it to ride five rides between both parks over 12 hours.
