Ugh! That would ruin it for me. I don't go on every ride in each park. I have my favorites that I go on multiple times. G+ is quickly turning into a lemon. Definitely not like MaxPass.

I was thinking the same thing. There are rides we definitely like to go on multiple times and a lot that we skip. If there is availability, I don't understand why they would limit it to once.

At the very least they could tier it. Tier 1 is IA$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ or once per day, tier 2 is twice per day, tier 3 is ride it as many times as you want if there is availability.

Agreed!! Even less value now

We ride Buzz Lightyear and Toy Story Mania over and over to beat our scores. I got good at getting FPs for TSM over the years. I’ve also been know to ride Everest, Space, or Big Thunder several times in a row. This Genie+ rule doesn’t work for me.

More sites reporting the same now. Purchased Genie+ will only allow one ride per attraction. And with that, I'm out. I was going to buy for about half our park days, but now I won't buy it at all.

This is NOT like unlimited Express Pass we get at USO for FREE staying onsite for about the price of a Disney moderate. That allows more than one use per attraction.

This is NOT like MaxPass which did not limit the number of rides per attraction.

How would anyone get value out of this at parks with just a few decent attractions.

BOO!

Once per ride is a total deal breaker. Especially in the parks with fewer rides.

Wow as others have said, it just lost a lot of what little value it had...

Why on Earth would someone pay for that at Animal Kingdom, then? What a moronic blunder.

What a lovely little "Happy 50th" gift to all of their fans.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

The longer they withhold a rollout date and other key details, the more upset I get about the entire thing. And then I have to continue reminding myself that in the big scheme of things, this isn't a big deal lol

Though, that's getting tough to do when my early November trip is creeping ever closer.

If that’s true, it seems even more useless for anything other than MK to me.

But access to rides really IS a big deal.

 

[canyoncam]

I can see where they are truly trying to ease abuse and ease backlogged lines But I say if they want to limit access they could create a waiting period at least-say two hours-and a limit of three times per day. I’d even pay a bit more for it. Alas that would only satisfy me.

That is HORRIBLE! And I mean HORRIBLE!!

I have never heard of a park limiting the number of times you can utilize a Fast Pass, Lightening Lane, Fast Lane, Express Pass or whatever the heck you want to call it. Limit to only once? Are you freaking kidding me!?! UGH. Our entire mission in DCA is to ride all 6 of the GOTG music sequences. If I am shelling out $20 more per day per person, we should get to ride it as many times as we want like we did with MaxPass. Same with TSMM. We ride that with intentions of beating one another. Whoever wins first is always the person to "take down" the next ride and so forth. Now we only get to use it once? ONCE? Absolutely infuriating.

I was fine with Genie + until I found out about this tidbit. IA$$ was always a nickel and dime eye roll scenario to me. But I loved MaxPass so I thought I could make this work.

Disney is killing me. And I was not one of the angry people when they first announced it. I guess they won't succeed until they tick us all off. They just did that with me.

In the scheme of life, no it isn't a big deal.

In the scheme of your vacation and your hard earned money, it is a big deal! And you have every right to be annoyed. You likely have been planning this vacation for quite some time and you can't really grasp how it is going to pan out because they are being so elusive. If it wasn't so expensive you may have more patience and understanding. But this is Disney. It ain't cheap. You know it, they know it ... yet it feels like they really don't give a hoot about how they are treating their patrons.

This is clearly to spread the crowds out. However, if someone wants to ride pirates twice and someone wants to ride haunted mansion twice…Disney may just convinced people like that not to buy G+ at all. Ugh, FP+ looking better and better.
