Genie+ trouble with different tickets

[kristenabelle]

I know. It's screwball. However, park reservations are the same way. But, you aren't usually trying to make park reservations early in the morning before starting your park while being tired and sleep deprived.

I've been able to make park reservations for folks with hoppers and me with an AP - no issue at all?

Maybe they fixed it. When I originally booked our Thanksgiving reservations, I had an AP, and DH and DS had hoppers. It made me book mine and then theirs. This was probably last year that I made them.

That's so frustrating. I get things are new, and I'm trying to be as patient as possible...but we're doing our best to adapt to new systems. Why does disney have to make it increasingly difficult?

have you done that since they changed the way AP holders make reservations?

Not sure - if they've changed it recently, then no. I've had these reservations for a while. But sounds like that's another headache?

Now AP has to book separately, as either AP with hotel reservation, or just AP.

With park reservations I was able to make them for the non AP members of our travel party I just had to do it separately. We have 3 AP holders and my niece who will have a 4 day park hopper.

I really don't want to make an new MDE for my niece but it looks like I may have to in order to purchase ILL or G+ if we decide to use it.

For those who did this already can you make your selections via the "main" MDE for the entire party or did you have to do those separately as well?

I am fighting with this dilemma now. 4 of us have military salute tickets and three date specific park hoppers. I know ILL works fine because I did it last week with a group of 1ap and 2 military tickets. It’s the genie+ that’s the issue. I have the login for one of my group members MDE in case I can’t make all reservations next week. I’ll have my husband do it with me at the same time to try and get overlapping times. This will be a real pain if we have to do it for every LL booking.

Let us know how it goes! We are going with 6 Military Salute tickets and 2 Magic Your Way children tickets.

Just purchased genie+ for my mixed ticket group no problem. It’s 1am est. setting my alarm for 0650 to start booking! Excited!

Have a fabulous day.

Our first park day was Sunday 11/14.

I have an AP and the other 3 members of the party had 4 day tickets (one Florida resident and two regular).

I was prepared to have to buy my own Genie + and have one of the others buy for the three of them through their accounts, but it wasn’t an issue. I was able to buy for all four of us each day.

CM said that we can all add G+ between midnight and 7am.

I wish the “special invite“ that castmembers and the media (before Genie arrived ) received for their instructions had been offered to everybody as a video placed on DisneyParksBlog… Anything to improve all the confusion

 

[Avery&Todd]

Just to put this out there - DH and I just got back from Disney and we have APs and the system would not allow me to book Genie+ any day of our trip myself - so I walked down to the front desk of the resort and they were able to add it to my account at 6:30am and then I was able to book the experiences at 7am.

Yes, it was super inconvenient, and made me mad every morning but that's what I had to do...

 

[seashell7290]

No problems with booking this am. Everyone with valid ticket media was able to book. So excited!

could you purchase them all at one time or in separate transactions? I will have 2 APs and 1 PH and I cant decide if it will be easier to go ahead and add Genie + to the PH now, or wait and do all 3 each morning of our trip.

 

[seashell7290]

All at the same time. No issues. I couldn’t add G+ to my military salute tickets in advance so I waited to add it to all tickets at once. Was able to add genie + at midnight the night before and made reservations at 7am this am. My party has date specific tickets and they weren’t eligible to add genie + until the date. I checked.

Can you tell me the makeup of your tickets types?

that's awesome! glad it worked out for you!

Did we ever hear back from the OP? Were they able to purchase Genie+ for their AP day-of (while the others in their party already had tickets with Genie+ length of stay)?

 

[kevind2112]

Another "Mixed Ticket" question. My wife and I are on property, and purchased out tickets are part of a package with hotel. Our daughters and their friends are staying at a condo, and are arriving a few days later. On and after the day the show up and their tickets are valid, would I be able to:

1. Purchase Genie+ for them as well as my wife and I at midnight?
2. Reserve their first ride at 7:00am instead of park open?
3. Purchase RotR (and other paid rides) passes for them while purchasing ours?

Thanks!
