Do you know if they were allowing resort busses in? Or were they turned away as well?

We asked that, actually, wondering if we should try that instead. We were told that resort buses were turned away as well...they were taking people to Disney Springs or taking them back to the resort. Ironically, at about 2:15, a big storm rolled in, so I'm guessing that cleared things out. But by that time we had moved on to AK. I just felt bad for people who slept in and planned on a late arrival waterpark only day (no park ticket). I guess maybe mini golf? Although we tried that on a different day and there was a 50 minute wait at Fantasia Gardens at around 12:30pm. But at least they weren't turning people away!

They don't provide bus service to the resorts- so unless this was a special circumstance, it had to be DS they were going to. They must've just hit capacity as I would think if they were full, they'd stop bus service as well.

Yes, all the resort buses I saw had the digital signs saying: Disney Springs/Typhoon Lagoon.

Could someone help me with pinning the rides? I have done it for previous trips and did do it for the first couple of days of our trip prior to beginning it but now I can't seem to find where and how to do it while on my trip.

Pretty sure you can only do it day of now.

I am doing it day of for today. And I can't find anywhere to pin the attractions. I was trying to do Slinky Dog and it didn't show. Genie+ is such a pain.

I am so sorry, Except I agree it is very frustrating system

I saw on ear scouts vlog that you cannot pin during the first half hour. A new change.

You can add rides to Top Picks ahead of time, for the days you will be there. Go to My Disney Genie Day, choose the day you will be at the parks (change day, upper right) and then you can add rides/attractions to your Top Picks. They won't show up for today (unless you're going to a park today), but I think will show up once your trip starts.

I go in there and I don't see anything that says top picks.

My experience with using Genie for this purpose was that on the My Day tab, Genie kept pushing attractions and/or experiences that I wasn't interested in, and that some of these appeared above my actual plans for the day so that I had to scroll down past these unwanted recommendations in order to see what my next booked attraction was.

Yes, it works for the Tip Board, but on My Day (I think that's what that tab's called) I was inundated by suggestions and deleting them only made more unwanted recommendations appear in their place.

So I stopped using this and just scrolled down on the Tip Board instead.

Edited for clarity.

Went to Epcot yesterday around 4pm and stayed til closing. Tried the fry flight and it was very good!! They were able to make the sweet potato fries without the nut topping! So I was able to enjoy it too!

In that little bit if time, we walked 5 miles!

Discovered that Sunshine Season food court stops serving hot food at 4pm. But coolers are available with cold prepackaged food.

My youngest son went on Mission Space for the first time, both Orange and Green, and he liked it! We saw a cat walking on the roof of the store and he posted that on his Instagram, lol.

It was an interesting experience meeting up with my son’s friends. My son and his two friends are autistic. They got along so well and really understood each other’s limitations. Each child had their own DAS and it took some practice to make the DAS reservations on one phone. We didn’t stay for fireworks. His friend forgot her ear phones. But we all walked out of the park happy and will go together again!

The kids did the Beverly Challenge and invented their own challenge of the BBQ flavored drink from China. (Which happens to be my favorite, but they think it belongs on chicken not in a drink, lol.)

While I was in the parks last month, in the "My Day" tab, I had to use the Genie service by clicking the Get Started Now button in the box that says "Start Here to Plan Your Day". Once I went through that process then the rides I selected would show up at the top of the "Tip Board" page. See below.

Under My Disney Genie Day

I knew I was missing something. It doesn't show edit my selections. We have had trouble with Genie+. First day I went to purchase the $ILL and it purchased genie+ instead. Second day I actually went to purchase it and it said it failed so I purchased a second time and I was double charged. I ended up at Guest Services to remove one of the charges. Now today I purchase it and it won't let me edit. I did reserve Slinky Dog. I was going to rope drop Tower of Terror but it was down this morning. Now I am just sitting here with nothing to do but wait until I can make another lightning lane. I don't want to wait in the long lines.

Thank you for trying to help me.

Thank you so much! That finally got me to the edit button. I miss the fast pass system.

I know, it’s so intuitive right? LOL. I really miss FP+ too. Have a great rest of your vacation!
