Was hoping it would not roll out the week we are there. No such luck. Not sure how much we will use it. More worried what effect it will have on the wifi network which was tenuous at best.

this is our second full day, I would have rather had it on our first full day.
I will be a genie-pig

Right smack in the middle of my trip...

Looks like you can add it to *new* ticket orders as an option but *existing* tickets need to have it added on a daily basis?

Very very serious question... How insane is this going to make the parks on launch day??? The thought of logging in from my hotel at 7 am using a brand new Disney system is just a recipe for IT failure.

I don't think it will make the parks insane, but I worry about the app crashing.

Has anyone read if its been mentioned yet how the Individual purchase works in terms of timing? Like if I buy at 7am, but I'm not going to the park until later in the day is there a specific return time for it or can I just ride at any time.... like the old anytime fastpass used to work.

 

[elgerber]

at least now I can make a plan of attack for my days

 

[Cj2017]

All the bloggers will be attacking the parks the first week to show this off on youtube

It won't be like an any time FP. You will not be assigned a return time. You be able to choose from a list of available return times for IA$, similar to how you could choose FP+ return times.

No offense to vloggers but i like hearing reports from board members. I still hope
you report back.

 

[OhDannyBoy]

Is there anything official about only being able to book 1 per day each ride?

I can't find anything

 

[MainMom]

Looking forward to the reports of the genie-pigs. Good luck!

And that is smack in the middle of our trip. I am not sure how to express my feelings regarding this. If it works, awesome. If not, barf.

 

[Sunelis]

I hope they fix all the launch bugs fast... I'm checking in on oct 30th.
