Insane Wait Times

[twodogs]

Went to Animal Kingdom today - walked thru at 8:01, left the park at 3:44 - we got 4 rides in. Did EE, then Safari then FOP and finished with Dinosaur. That's it. We did stop to eat lunch. The lines were long, and very often came to a complete stand still. We're AP holders and this is our first time going with Genie+, waiting in a line that moves is way better than one that stays in the same place for 5 or more minutes. It seemed like Safari and FOP were much worse with stopping the stand by line and trying hard to empty the LL que before letting a few stand by in. The other two seemed to alternate more.

I had a great time with my kid, but Genie + has so significantly devalued our AP. I would have had to spend $60 today to use LL on the rides we rode today. I was hoping it wouldn't really be all that bad just standby, I was wrong.

This is exactly what Disney wants you to realize. And then they want you to go ahead and drop the $60 because otherwise it is miserable. And then keep doing that. That is their business model. As long as you (or somebody like you) keeps doing this, their business model is working. Sad for the diehards like many on this board ( myself included at times) but true.
