Disney Genie announcement

[Avery&Todd]

Has anyone with an AP they need to activate been able to buy Genie + for an upcoming trip? It won't let me buy it for our Nov 10th trip.

Seems that the early entry for on-site guests may be a nice perk, especially for DHS with SDD Smugglers. They seem to have pretty late return times.

So they might have dropped more inventory as well as shuffling crowds.

so offsite guests might have a chance, but it will be harder to get ROTR

If you play the refresh game, availability sporadically pops up for late windows but you have to be really quick on the draw

It would be nice to see bloggers doing a live feed today

Question: if my plan is to do MK in the morning and DHS in the PM can I purchase G+ and make a LL for SDD for the evening (since they go fast) and still continue getting morning G+ in MK? I know I would have the 120 minute wait and all that.

Agreed. I can’t find anyone doing a live stream with the focus of the Genie+ launch.

EDITED as I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post that but there are a bunch of lime streamers right now.

No way I can get 3 kids out the door by 7:15 am to line up for the skyliner (switched resort Art of Animation).

In theory yes. But I would really like to see someone test it in real life.

Yeah I’m actually watching her now but she’s not using Genie+ today.

I might be wrong, but I thought that only regular tickets (or maybe even just package tickets) could add Genie+ in advance, and that APs had to wait no matter whether activated or not.

My son will be going live later today from MK. I can’t post his info because we don’t allow self-promotion.

So just speculating here but to me it does not seem like you will be able to do many rides using genie+... At least not headliners. Not sure I want to pay $15 to only get maybe 3 or 4 rides. 5 dollars a ride is close to ILL prices.

Argh!!!!!!!!! Not what i wanted to hear!!!

We have to activate them when we arrive which means we'll miss all the 7am drops!!

I have an Epcot park reservation today but when I went to the map of MK and clicked on Space Mountain, the option to buy an individual lightening lane pass showed up. It even showed the Genie+ rides for MK. So it looks like the answer might be yes. It knows that I am park hopping and begins to offer times after 2pm.

I hear you. That is rough.

Same boat (same week, see you there!) and said I had to wait.

Also would like to know how purchasing ILL$ (Is that the acronym lol) will go for big groups. Does one person just foot the bill when they get the reservation?

agree 100%.....a lot of people thought it might be worth it if you were park hopping to another park but if theres nothing available in the second park then it's def not worth it

Local AP, I could choose at 7am.

Awesome, thank you!
