Stayed 1/14 to 1/21 at Boardwalk Villas
Park days is as followed:
14: Epcot
15: MK
16: DHS
17: AK
18: MK
19: Epcot
20: DHS
Utilizing Genie+ with the refresh method worked flawlessly, I don't know if it was something with the crowds and availability still sticking around or what - but it proved to be a valuable tool booking LLs as we went throughout the day. I'll give 2 examples:
At Magic Kingdom, we reserved 7am for Space Mountain (primarily did this since we were rope dropping 7DMT and didn't want to rush over to Jungle Cruise, and also first day using it wasn't really sure of the timing I'd get for a return window at Jungle. The whole intent/mindset I had was to redeem ASAP and avoid "stacking" (unless it was evening and was back at the resort during a nap/break).
Anyways, as it occurred.
Early Entry: 7DMT
9:00am: Space Mountain
Exit of Space Mountain, booked Jungle Cruise 12:30pm. Refreshed until retrieving 10:00am timeslot
Walked on Buzz, Walked on Laugh Floor
10:00am Jungle Cruise
Booked 10:15 Pirates
10:15am Pirates
Booked 2pm Big Thunder. Refreshed until 11:00am timeslot became available
11:00am Big Thunder
Booked 4pm Haunted Mansion, Refreshed until 11:45 became available
etc etc throughout MK until 3pm when we went back to the resort and hopped over to Epcot.
For DHS the last day, was able to book ToT, Mickey's and Minnie's Runaway Railway, Rise (ILL+), Millennium Falcon, Toy Story Mania all before 12pm (walking into the park later at 9:30am to start the day). All done via refreshing and moving the time slots up. Even with the park posting 120min +, booking and refreshing seemed incredibly easy. Just something I would do when in line waiting for pre-shows and/or exiting the ride. I would say never spending more than 3-5 mins each time to acquire a timeslot that worked with us.
Even in the evenings, Stacking and refreshing/modifying times worked really well. One evening, we booked Splash, Haunted Mansion and Peter Pan for 4pm - 5:30pm and was able to ride all 3 rides easily after going to AK in the morning and using LL to walk on every ride. We were done with rides at 10am and used 2 hour rule to book evening events at MK
