As I understand it, if you purchased G+ as part of your ticket, you will not be affected. In fact, there are numerous reports of others adding G+ to their tickets still (they have to call).
We bought it for our entire stay between Xmas and New Years because we thought it was likely they would raise the price or change the system based on (1) the frustrations of guests and (2) how many people are buying G+. I think they want to make a lot of money and hear less complaints.
Genie+ is still very new and I believe we will see multiple iterations before they land on a system that works for them just like they did FastPass (which had its own rule changes throughout its time). I’ve said this in one of my older posts…we are in an experimental phase of the “skip the line” feature and Disney will continue to shift and adjust until they find what they’re looking for. A lot of speculation on here as to what will happen. I think we need to wait and see how things unfold. There is clearly frustration from guests from the fact that the system continues to evolve. Couple that with people claiming they know exactly when it will sell out or what they will need to do to get G+ (basically doom and gloom)…It’s freaking people out.
All we know is that they say it’s subject to availability now. We have no idea what that will look like or when G+ might potentially sell out. For all we know, this change could be a great thing. Fewer people allowed to use LL will keep more availability open to those guests and allows the standby lines to move quicker. The real question is…what are the two magic numbers: the price of G+ and the number they sell on a given day? Tons of factors here to consider here.
We need data before determining if this a better, worse, or lateral change.
