Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun!

It's the same price as max pass. The only loss is the 3 attractions you can choose to pay separately from. Or go standby since rsr often ran out of fp anyway and still has single rider. So to me it really only changes web slingers and rotr.

True, but MaxPass also had dimiinished value without a Park Hopper. I always have hopper at DLR, so it's not a huge concern to me.

I don’t know why anyone wants to be coming in for one night only unless you are coming in for a cruise or something. Too each their own

We live an hour away and it’s nice to pop over for one night then go back home on the weekends

They had this during Halloween except I think it was raspberry jam and not strawberry. Same decorations and everything, it's not new!

Reimagined Mickey’s Toontown Will Include a Tribute to Walt Disney

Maxpass was not limited to once per attraction, I don’t believe. Does Genie+ at DL not have that restriction?

MaxPass did not but Genie+ at DLR does.

That's great but why couldn't they have done that with the 50th fireworks too?

Get DOUBLE the New Year’s Eve Fun at a Popular Disney Springs Spot

On December 31st, 2021, guests will be able to ring in the new year TWICE at Raglan Road. First, guests will get to raise a complimentary glass of bubbly at 7PM ET to ring in the Irish New Year (that’s midnight Irish time). Then, the celebrations will take place all over again at midnight ET.

Maybe testing means that a reopen isn't too far off. I mean if they can test it, wouldn't that mean the construction is to a point that it can run the whole route? I'm sure I'm just being hopeful. We are going in early January and I'd love a chance to ride the train. In all our trips, we've never ridden it, I'm ashamed to admit.

Last I heard, the track near/under the Tron attraction had not been installed yet so it's not possible to run the whole route at this time.

It's like Fletcher Hodges with his bone in the Radiothon. "New! Different!"

For people like me who love to add days on the beginning/end last minute

Same!!

Ah, a Pantoran captain, eh? Nice call!

I finally started catching up with my comic book reading and completely forgot that Marvel's Star Wars: Halcyon Legacy mini-series starts in January:

https://www.starwars.com/news/marvel-star-wars-halcyon-legacy-exclusive-reveal

It's written by Ethan Sacks who's had a very solid run on the Bounty Hunters comic ... so even though this is a blatant tie-in, it may be pretty interesting.

Raglan Road Irish Restaurant & Pub to Offer 2021 Christmas Day Dinner

When I was there in October the track ended at Fantasy land and they were working on the tunnel under TRON. They have been able to run backwards from Fantasyland to Main Street and back. I imagine that is what they are doing with the testing.

Honestly, I think this is the biggest damage to it's worth. It's one thing if you can use it to ride Big thunder several times a day, but being limited to one time really sucks.

Maxpass was not limited to once per attraction, I don’t believe. Does Genie+ at DL not have that restriction?

You are correct...no limit.

 

[Violetspider]

We just had two conflicting answers to how Genie+ works at DL. Does it have the same limit as WDW of one ride per day per attraction or not?
