NEWS: You CAN’T Re-Ride Disney World Attractions with Genie+ At Launch

Original title doesn’t include at Launch, but when Genie+ launches you will only be able to book a particular ride once in your day. No repeat lightning lane access for rides. This could all be subject to change as time goes on with the system.

Thats a deal breaker for me. Most parks don’t have enough freaking rides for it to be worth it anyways.

There are plenty of roller coasters that go upside down that don't have over the shoulder restraints. So thats not a good indicator at all.
However, it was announced last year that it would not have any inversions.

Name them - I can’t think of one.

There aren't any at Disney if that's what you are thinking, but plenty at other parks everywhere.

Velocicoaster comes to mind.

Steel Vengeance, Steel Curtain, Flight of Fear, Twisted Timbers. So many others.

I didn’t know Disney bought the rights to the Peanuts cartoons, but here we are with the kite eating tree making its debut.

I’m just so embarrassed for those poor CM’s who must hate their jobs now. It’s not their fault! What on earth was imaginering thinking and who signed off on this? Were they drunk? Some kind of inside sabotage plan? Really bizarre that they thought kites would be a magical Disney show.

They just need to immediately scrap it and start over.

I don't think the idea of the show is bad at all, they're very limited in the kind of shows they can do because to much noise will disturb the animals. I don't think Disney consulted with those in the kite community on this however, trying to make quick motions and turns with unpredictable wind conditions was a big gamble. A drone pulling a kite would probably have been better than a boat but that means you don't get multiple attachment points. Check out videos of the kite festivals in Dubai, their kites are amazing but mostly slow moving. I feel like these days Disney is just throwing anything they can at the wall in terms of entertainment and hoping something sticks without real thought into execution.

KiteTails may be the worst thing I have ever seen in a theme park. It honestly looks like something my daughters Girl Scout troop would have come up with.

I watched it today and the most fun part was hoping something would go wrong. The DVC guide in the area there has a good view and she watches for the screw-ups each time.

Limited-Time Halloween Cupcakes are Coming to Disney Springs and Downtown Disney!

 

[DianaMB333]

I watched today and the effort from the cast members is so visible.. they are putting their hearts out! Just that to me is part of Disney magic..

can the enterprise do better? Absolutely.. but somehow testing something out is also valid..

i like this blog about it..

New! Ladurée stand in Disneyland Hotel in Paris
The Facebook page of DLP Reports has a map of the new design of the hotel lobby of the Disneyland hotel. The famous macaron store Ladurée will have a stand in the Disneyland Hotel after the refurbishment
Usually I get my macarons on my way back at Charles de Gaulle airport, but now I will have a new place!
