Edit: I found the answer on plandisney. Please ignore this freakout!

HELP! How do I cancel a regular LL?! I guess I accidentally booked smugglers run for 9:30am, but were not going to the park until the afternoon. There is no button to cancel. When I edit, it just says we're not eligible. I've been searching for the answer, but everything just says to cancel but doesn't explain how.

Yes, we booked it right at 7am.

Yes, we booked it right at 7am.

Weird. Did it really sell or by 7:05?

Once I booked, it wouldn't let me see what was still available. We chose 3pm because we were going later in the day, so it wasn't necessarily the next available time.

I have been checking for weeks at 7:45 or even 8 and it’s been available every day. Not today.

if I make a genie+ Selection for my hopper park And want to stack- I know the 1st selection can’t be made until availability passes 2pm. After 2 hours does my next selection at hopper park also have to have passed 2pm availability?

Thrill-data shows it was available at 7:03, but not at 7:05.

Yes, any attraction you are booking for a park you are hopping to must be displaying a next available time of 2PM or later.

Hi, great thread!

My DD is a CM so I am guessing even with her park reservation we won't be able to buy her Genie + until we arrive and have an actual ticket?

Is that a new rule? Cause when I was there for my DCP February to June there were many times I booked a ride for my hopper park and it always just changed the time to 2 PM

Yes, unfortunately, it is a new rule.

In order to buy Genie+ you must have a park ticket and park reservation and it must be the actual day. If you are purchasing a ticket at the gate you will need to ensure there are park reservations available for the day. Once you buy it you will be able to buy G+ for the day.

We are not buying any tickets. But if I am reading this, she will need to enter the park before doing anything with Genie + even with having a park reservation? Thanks!

 

[scrappinginontario]

I’m not familiar with how CMs enter the parks but I would guess if she can make a park reservation that she would also be eligible to purchase/book Genie+….but there haven’t been any reports about CMs on this thread, that I’m aware of.

Why? It was so nice haha

Just wanted to pop back to this thread to say we booked ILLs and G+ for a party of 11 using one account all week no issues.

Thanks to all who shared wisdom in this thread, I felt really prepared to use it and like it worked great for our party. The hardest thing, ironically, was waiting for ride times to get later on the day since we were such a slow moving group, I couldn’t take advantage of immediate return times and had to check back frequently to hit the right windows… worth it! Still not a ton of time on my phone and made it possible to not backtrack too much and not feel too pressured most of our days.

It gave an unfair booking advantage to those with park hopper over those without.

It's all about the $ for Disney anymore...those who pay more, get more advantages...

I haven't been following the G+ strategies since my April trip earlier in the year. I know that a few things have since changed like Remy switching from $ILL to G+ and some new park hopping rule for G+ return times that was just mentioned, but does anyone know of any other changes that might affect G+ strategy since April?
