latest time at MK is monster inc at 1pm

Epcot Test track 1245

Slinky dog said 5pm but now is 1:20

Those of us without a park reservation for today or an AP are much more limited in what we can see.

Click the 3 lines on the bottom right of the app and scroll to help and check your version. If it's 7, you're up to date.

Thanks. It says Version 6.22

This sounds like essentially a lockout on these rides for off-site guests who won't even be able to try and buy these as they'll be gone!

They can use genie + at 7am like everyone else they just can't book the Individual upgrades

Thank you. I think the rub on my end is that I already have park tickets so I’m not seeing an option for adding genie+ to the existing tickets. I think I have to call them to add it.

Ah yes, if you bought tickets separately that would be done differently and yes, calling is probably the only way right now. Please let us know if you're able to, I know @scrappinginontario is trying to get as many scenarios answered as possible.

Just messing around with it but it looks like I can only select 12 guests at a time to plan? That's going to be a problem. I have a party of 16!!

 

[LSUfan4444]

I don't, it just appeared under the day. I do have an AP so that maybe part of the reason

I have tickets and a resort linked for January but no AP and no reservation for today and I am able to view it as well

I can see genie plus and I can see my park tickets for later this week, but when I try to buy genie+ plus it tells me I don't have valid part tickets.

Refresh, those times keep changing for me. Also I think monster Inc is just opening late

When I opened MDE first thing this morning I got the screen to update the app for Genie, but I didn't do it right then. Now when I go back I don't get the screen and I went in the App Store and there's no update available I'm not too tech savvy so maybe I'm missing something obvious, but how do I update? Thanks for any help.

I was having the same issue. I removed the app and reinstalled it and once I opened the app the upgrade button worked.

If you’re having issues with updating the app or generally it’s acting buggy, delete MDE and re-download it. It helps!

So interesting..

 

[JETSDAD]

Refreshing lives on. The many hours spent working on my refreshing skills will not go to waste. Phew.

Same here. It prompted me to download Genie and redirected to the app store but there was no update option so I uninstalled MDE and reinstalled it. I had to go back to the app store to update but that did the trick.

 

[Brocktoon]

Thanks. It says Version 6.22

For iOS, open up the App Store and click on the upper right icon for your account/profile. You should be able to see updates available, and also 'pull down' on that screen to refresh and check for updates

But that's what I'm saying for ROTR etc will the slots not go before off-site people even get a chance?

 

[LittleStinkerbelle]

Try going to the App Store. Then go to the updates screen. Swipe down to refresh then check to see if it’s there.

Ahh - thank you! That worked. Yay! Really appreciate it

Remains to be seen. Park opens in an hour and still looks like availability...

So, I am WDW. Had to go to front desk this morning. System thought I had park reservation at both HS and MK ?! It would not let me make time at either place till after 2PM (park hopping). CM had to delete HS herself.
Unlike the old FP+ system:
I was under the impression you could select your time; it just gives you the next one.
Once booked, you can cancel, however, you cannot modify.
