Disney Genie announcement

[JakeAZ]

Kenny the Pirate has posted a new list of IA$ attractions.

If those are accurate, AK and EP are ridiculous. Genie+ is a total waste on those days when they just took 4 of the most popular rides and made them al a carte.

I'm going to pay $15pp per day at EP and AK for what? 2-3 rides at each park?!

At least with MK and HS, there are other top tier rides available within G+

I never understood KS and TT being IA$ rather than EE and FEA, so this doesn't surprise me at all. I just hope the single rider line at EE remains an option.

Can you post a link? Checked his website and didnt see anything more recent than Aug.

 

[dchronister]

if I start my day in AK but I want to do LL choice of Rat in Epcot, if I have a park hopper can I choose to do this later in the day or does my first (or both) LL choices have to be in the park I have a reservation for the day? I’m trying to make dining reservations but am confused on this point, just want to make sure I will be in the right park at the right time so I can make the correct dining reservations! TIA

I agree. I can't see myself paying for G+ at Epcot or AK. Possibly MK and DHS. Time will tell.

Your question has been merges with the Disney Genie Announcement.

There are still many details to be announced including the answer to your question.

Honestly the only one that kind of “hurts” my party is EE/FOP. We won’t pay for it though. We will just rope drop and hope for the best.

Same although we are used to rope dropping FoP and in the past we were able to ride EE multiple times in the evening with little/no wait and that's with free FPs. I can't see having to pay for LL making the wait worse.

While true, at MK, my battery pack set off the scanners and I had to get mine checked. It was especially weird as the same charger had been in my bag all week and never set off the scanners at EP, DHS, or DAK.

We had the same experience. At least 3 of the 6 of us. Every. Time.

 

[ZeeWP]

I can see those of us with younger kids who are tall enough for things like EE, they might be able to use G+. I can see us using it for Killamanjaro Safari, Navi River Journey, and Kali River Rapids.

I can't see use for it in Epcot either... Maybe when the Guardian of the Galaxy ride opens. But even then I can't see it.

Moving EE to IA$ is downright infuriating. I would have gladly paid $15 per person for a chance to ride EE multiple times a day with little wait. Safari, on the other hand, is a ride you only want to do once. Which made it a perfect IA$ ride. If this is true, it makes Genie+ much less valuable in AK.

Remember that the IA$ list today is just a rumor. Not everything posted today was accurate. Wait for the official announcement.

 

[gharter]

Wasn't surprised to see the list that Kenny the pirate had. I suspect Frozen will be removed when Guardians opens.
I can't see paying for Genie + at AK or EPCOT.
MK probably will be worth it.
Maybe HS. Unfortunately HS may be the one park I spend money on the IA$.

Yep, just like the initial list was just a rumor. It's not like they just went and changed what was planned, just rumors.

But only wanting to do the safari once? Woah, that's definitely not the case for me. It's the most re-ridable ride, in that it's really the only ride that can be a completely different experience every single time.

I hated fast pass(too much running across the park) and thought maybe Genie would be a good option for us. We've decided to do it the old fashioned way and see what we can. We take long trips and with several days in each park I just don't see the need. Plus the cost each day times 12 days and 6 people is more than we are willing to spend. Another thousand will buy a few nice meals. Good thing we don't mind waiting in line actually we expect it when going to an amusement park.

 

[emilymad]

I would be happy if the rumors of no IA$ for KS. We can re-ride that one a lot but I wasn't going to pay to ride.

I feel like Genie+ really highlights how few experiences there are in certain parks. I very much doubt we will ever pay for it in AK or EP. Even HS is iffy for us but maybe because we love to re-ride TS.

I wouldn't say "definitely won't be able to stack." That statement that you quoted could be taken in different ways. You can't make more than one selection at a time, but if you say open the app an hour later that is a "different time" so you aren't making two selections at one time, but have two selections made in the app. It's up for interpretation. We are all hoping it's not "make one selection and have to use that selection before making another. "

So thats exactly how max pass worked, you would make a fast pass anf while you were in line for that one you could then schedule another one but you couldn't ever jave more than one at a time.

You could definitely have more than one FP at a time with Maxpass (and legacy FP).
Example:
Enter park at 9, immediately pull a FP for RSR that is for 5pm.
At 10:30 (90 minutes later), you could then pull another FP, say for Mission Breakout for 3pm.
Then at 12 (90 minutes later), you could get one for Incredicoaster for 1pm. So you would have 3 FPs at one time before ever using that first one.
This is what people are wanting/thinking, except the rumor is 2 hours instead of 90 min.
