Disney Genie announcement

[AnnaKristoff2013]

At 630 am

latest time at MK is monster inc at 1pm

Epcot Test track 1245

Slinky dog said 5pm but now is 1:20

Nothing is moving fast at AK..

Wait, are you saying the earliest ride is laugh floor at 1 pm? Ok, this is definitely going to push me to cancel my upcoming disney world trip. I was on the fence but this is going to do it for me. If all morning slots in MK go by 7:30 AM that is ludicrous.

No. It's the latest return time. In theory this means that the passes for that ride are going the fastest.

AP with reservation for MK. I can see how to buy ILL, but how do you purchase G+?

Oh, ok.

This is not the case. Other than Monsters Inc, everything is 10:30am or earlier right now. You don’t need to purchase Genie+ to use the tip board and see what’s available.

Everything else is still at 9, it is just opening at 1. The genie + is not sold out. It showed 1 at 7am this morning

 

[AnnaKristoff2013]

So has anyone who is staying offsite been able to book a Genie+ lightning lane? Or do they have to wait till park open?

 

[Bibbobboo2u]

Available times keep changing. I booked first LL at 7am for Slinky and got 10:55-11:55am return time.

 

[CWTC]

At BCV - have HS reservations. bought genie+ for both of us, no issues and first LL we took was 9am for toy story (will likely ride stand by too) but wanted to get a sense of the Genie+. We bought an ILL$ for ROTR (spouse did not want to rope drop again). overall was easy to use, app seems clutterred because I don't want to see the suggestions: I just want to see our plans.

One thing I haven't tried because I don't want to mess us up: has anyone bought an ILL$ for a park they are going to hop to after 2pm? I was considering buying Remy just to see how it would work but then chickened out.

I think monsters is just opening late, there is plenty of availability at MK still.

It does feel very cluttered with this update. I am doing a split stay and can only see my plans for the first resort. I would like to see my whole week of plans like I used to.

Thoughts welcome...So if my wife and I both log into my MDX account at the same time but from separate devices...do you think she can try for the Remy Boarding Group at 7am while I work on Genie + and ILightening Lane selections for the day?

At least today, Remy boarding group was relatively easy to get at 7am but not sure I want to wait ten minutes to try.

from reports I think you are just fine to buy Remy!

8 am and it is already showing 12:40 as next available for TT

 

[EmilyGahr]

Very confused. I have a 10 day park hopper plus ticket for January. I went to the "Change Ticket" option to add Genie+, and the total is only $79.89 before tax. This is obviously not $15 per day for 10 days... HELP!

 

[KNovacovschi]

Just in case people are looking at price point this is what it cost me to add to my April trip. This is for 1 person with 6 day park hopper and Genie +, does not include LL since those can only be purchased day of and since ticket prices fluctuate it may be a bit different others days.

AP with reservation for MK. I can see how to buy ILL, but how do you purchase G+?

I found the purchase option on this link on the main My Day Genie page

On the next page click Get link, then choose who all you're buying for.

I don't have a reservation, but hopefully that helps you get going!

Android user after a couple reinstalls and with a park reservation for today:

Still can not load tip board, but can see recommendations for My Day.

When I try to purchase ILL it says 'can not load details'.

I am at home not near Disney today and am wondering if this will be normal moving forward.

Also, the suggestions start in this order: PotC, Splash then BTRR...the opposite of how I usually rope drop them.

Were you able to choose your time for ROTR - supposedly you can pick what time you want to ride...

I have a four night trip with my college aged daughter 10/20--10/24, with four park days. Since we already chose to have park hoppers, I was able to add the Genie+ to our 4 day park hopper ticket for $127.80 extra. Just added it to our resort package reservation and paid the additional amount. Looking forward to trying out this new service, and get the most out of our four park days.
