Disney Genie announcement

[hhisc16]

Can't wait to see what pricing looks like for Tron when it opens!



Please hold while I write down this exact strategy........

Cost: Equivalent of one lightcycle

Except now you can modify park reservations, can’t you?

Not to my knowledge. I just looked at MDE (web & app) and the only option I got when I viewed park reservation details was cancel.

 

[Cliffside]

Don’t know if it was posted..where do you see wait times on the Ap if you do are not in the park..trying to get a sense of what they are like. Who knows if they will be correct?

 

[Disturbia]

Also, has anyone tried just getting the earliest ride and keep booking, so we know that it works like maxpass?

 

[MJJME]

Are you sticking with this? You were pretty insistent on this but seems like reports are that you cannot do this and in fact if you make a reservation for 7:05 you can make your next one at 11am - 2 hours after park open. Do you have any reports to the contrary so far? Big difference in the ability to do a little stacking earlier.

Ummmmmm

Yes?

did you not read what I wrote? exactly what i said is how it works....whats the confusion?

Someone said it’s in the tip board

ROTR is temporarily closed.

That should be interesting.

 

[DavidNYC]

Anyone figure out how to get a LL in another park post 2pm? I can’t figure out how to add another park - just change.

thanks!

From the "tip board" screen you can pull up all parks. I had to ask about that as well - was looking all over "my day" but it's the other tab to see everything.

I think those who benefit the most from G+ will be those who use it strategically and base their value more on quality, not quantity. What attractions and when and still use the other advantages like rope drop, park close and during fireworks.

This is not the days of sending someone around the park to grab as many FP as possible.

I have always been a quality over quantity person what it came to FP+ and will do the same with this system. We always did our FP+ in the evening when waits would be well over an hour. People would say I was nuts for giving up so many opportunities to pull additional FP but I never found early FP+ to be needed since we were not in the parks midday anyway.

The Tip Board. You need to change the date to today and filter by the park you are interested in.

How come I cant add Genie+ to my reservations? Went to My Disney experince and it doesnt tell me how to add it to my plans...

It was clarified that the window didnt start until park opening, you must have missed that post?

Click on tips.

Standby times are listed right above Genie+ windows.

Let’s all keep the conversation less personal and polite. We can get banned for 10 days for arguing even respectfully

 

[Dobby10]

If you have a 5 day ticket, how do you add it to just 1 or 2 days? I'm only seeing a way to add it to the whole ticket.

However, you won't be able to do that quickly. You will have to continue to refresh until the G+ LL times come up that you are interested in. It will happen quickly for a ride like SDD, but will take hours before rides like TOT have evening times displayed. ILL$ is a different story as you will be able to purchase the times you want.

Gotta be honest: after seeing the app- even with my own trip months away- it seems pretty straightforward for the most part.

They recently added the option to modify park reservations.

Well - you may have more of a problem than you think then. What you said was all well and good when you could book afternoon times in advance knowing you wouldn't be in the park mid-day. Problem is now when you try to book - they'll just offer you a time. If it's for mid-day when you're not in the park, you're out of luck and have to keep checking your phone throughout the day until the system gets to when you'll be there. And now, when you book your evening LL for 6pm, you may run out of time to even get a 2nd one. At least before you could plan 3 of them for the evening and be done with your planning. Now you'll be tied to your phone throughout the day to plan like that.
