Thank you!
They're not doing dynamic pricing, i.e. the price goes up and down as the product (Genie+ or ILL) is sold, now. They're doing variable pricing, i.e. it may cost more or less today than when we sold it yesterday. They can still do that. They'll just have to decide on the price a week or more ahead of time. It's possible they already decide what the prices for a certain day will be a week or more ahead of time. We, the consumers, just don't know what those prices are before we can actually buy the product day-of. They do not have to do length-of-ticket pricing unless they make you buy Genie+ with the ticket, and perhaps not even then. They could just as easily let you buy Genie+ for a certain day a week or so ahead of time and then let you book your first three LL reservations as soon as you bought it. I don't know that that is what they're planning, but it is feasible.
As well as, essentially, force people to make a park reservation unless they allow you to prebook LLs in multiple parks.
Resort guests will have the option of purchasing in advance
Park reservations are gone as of next Tuesday
Len has reported that the rides will be tiered, in every park, including MK for the first time, which if true, will be a MAJOR mistake and a complete disaster
Yes, I know. I’m saying if you buy Genie+ and reserve your three rides at, say, MK - and a vast majority of guests will make their choices for the morning; it tends to be the seasoned goers like on this site who know to rope drop or relax and make your first choice for later in the day, then you have *essentially* made a park reservation.
Unfortunately, not for us lowly AP holders.
Yes but Park Ressies also locked you into that one park until 2pm.....with the park hopping changes, you can go to any park even prior to your Genie+ selection......Plus, they could give you the option of modifying your selection to a different park
The vast majority of park-goers won’t realize or won’t bother to make modifications. Enough that they’ll be able to make a good guess as to how many guests they’ll have on any given morning. Yes, you can go to any park you’d like, barring APs, but most Disney guests aren't pros and will make their LLs as early as possible, making it difficult to start in a different park.
Agree but for resort guests, this is not much of an issue.......Day guests it will be more of a concern, but i know my park days 6 months in advance of my trips
This is where the tiering system hurts a lot of guests.......we dont go to the parks until 3pm every day........If i had to use my 3 selections before getting my 4th, all of the inventory would be gone by the time i got to the park.......with Genie+, I can stack every 2 hours and get as many Tier1 rides as I want based on availability..........with Tiers, I would only get 1 and I would never pay $30 for Genie+ for 1 ride
I agree. Tiers will be a huge mistake. It was that way with FP+, as well for those who didn’t know the drops and refresh method, which was a very high percentage.
As I and many others have stated in the past, a system like that would have to be priced at an eye watering amount. I'm talking $300/person per day minimum especially if it allowed for rerides and included the ILLs.
