Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun!

But still no rumor on a start date

 

[RamblingRabbit]

There is a rumor that POG Juice won't be returning. It won't be available at BOMA & it has run out of stock in other restaurants.

They need to go to Costco, my mom just got a jug there.

This may actually be my breaking point, on top of Genie+. The POG is what will break this camel's back.

I swear to god i'm going to riot Disney!

KS as a paid LL only is my breaking point. That’s the ride I can do over and over again, and if I have to pay for each ride separately or wait in a long line, I’m not going to be happy about it.

Rope drop Safari is quite reasonable line imo. Everyone else is heading to FOP.

I'm annoyed about Space, Test Track, and the Safari.
I'm also really surprised Frozen isn't LL only.

I think Space is there until Tron, and Test Track is there until Guardians. They seem to be trying to stick with the two most in demand rides per perk - Frozen may have lots of lines, but lots of people don't keep riding it - one and done. Like Na'vi River.

Space Mountain is getting pretty expensive. You pay to ride it... then you have to pay your chiropractor.

Not to mention buying a new hat or sunglasses or both!

 

[KC1535]

I am confused. Please help!
My understanding is with Genie+ you can pick one time-slot for a LL at a time. Another choice won't be available until after you ride, or 2 hours after your first choice. What about LL$? Are you able to pick and pay for 2 rides at once? Or, pay for one and not get to pick another until you ride the first, and hope the 2nd is still available?

You are correct on the Genie+ (though the time between thing I hadn’t seen confirmation of). For the individual attraction selections - You can pay for 2 selections at one time, it may just need to be done as 2 separate transactions which we won’t really find out until it’s more in operation.

That's what I was hoping. Another question with the LL$...can you also specify the time you would like?

Genie+ is the $15/day option and everybody can make their first selection at 7am that day. Can be used in multiple parks with hopper or AP but can only have 1 selection at a time. It works on a rolling basis where you can continue getting another after you've used the last.

Lightening Lane is an individually purchased FP-type option and limited to 2 daily per guest. Onsite can book them starting at 7am that day, offsite needs to wait until entering the park. I think guests will be able to choose a window from what is available.

Do I understand this correctly?

 

[Pete M]

someone please help. I need a positive to latch onto in all of this. I keep looking for something, anything, but all I'm seeing is bad news being spun as "good news" by stupid corporate heads and their stupid corporate faces saying stupid corporate phrases like "it's all about simplifying and maximizing your fun". gag.
and I'm serious. I need something positive. I'm just sad and frustrated. Even the new ride openings now have the stigma of slipping Mickey some extra cash in order to skip the line.

That’s still unknown a bit to this point whether it’d be like the Fastpass+ system where you got to pick your time or if it’s like the older fastpass distribution that gave you a set time to return.

 

[orangecuse]

I think when you select a new one, it will have the next time available for each ride. Think the old paper Fastpass method where you walked up and there was a return time posted and if you took the paper Fastpass, that was the time you returned. I think you will go in and see the time and if you select that ride, you will return at the time given. Those return times will get later and later as more people select that ride for their Genie+ attraction. So, if you want Splash and a lot if people have been selecting Splash, that time might be for 4 hours in the future. The way the old paper system and MaxPass worked, after an hour, you could select another ride.

Just to clarify, the video showed the system saying you couldnt have a new one until your first one was used, implying you can only hold one at a time. I havent seen any evidence to suggest they will let you get a second one before you use the first one.

Lightning Lane is just like the Fastpass line. You can use Genie+ to book Lightning Lane at most of the rides and you can pay for Lightning Lane at the top rides.

Only thing is Lightning Lane understanding, Lightning Lane is the new name for the Fastpass line and its either covered by Genie+ or the individual attraction selections (again they need a better name for this).

Genie+ gives you Lightning Lane access to the non-premiere rides.

Individual Attraction Selections are the additional fee Lightning Lane access for the premiere rides.

You do, but the semantics are not quite right:

"Lightning Lane" is the term for the entrance queue that bypasses Stand By - i.e. the old Fastpass Queue. With Genie Plus, you can select your Lightning Lane return time for attractions included in that tier. Premium attractions will require you to pay to schedule Lightning Lane access. It is all called Lightning Lane though. It has been suggested to use G+ for Genie Plus and LL$ for paid Lightning Lane access.

EDIT: Okay, and three of us all answered your question all at once!

We are getting 2 new firework shows in October that are included with entry? + standby queues are still a thing so at least Disney have not reverted back to the ticket books of early Disney parks
