Never thought I'd do it- Cancelled.

[Takket]

Almost to punctuate my point about "not feeling it", i'm watching a live stream from Epcot right now. The streamer walked up to a guy in the Japan pavilion at an origami table wearing the "generic Epcot cast member" outfit with all the flags. She asked him a question and he said "I work at ESPN. I'm just filling in, I'm sorry but I really don't know anything about this stuff."

First off... NOT the CM's fault he was put in that position.

But COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the experience we are shelling out higher prices for? I know the pandemic shut down international CMs but THIS is the best Disney can do? Busing in some guy from ESPN to hold down a spot ON STAGE in the Japan pavilion??? Not like he's in back helping out sanitation or security or something. You can't find someone working at Japan and invest a little time teaching them or giving them a list with some bullet points to tell people? Like, the same effort I expect from a 9 year old with a volcano at the science fair?

I don’t know. I think maybe it is just all the changes that are problematic to us frequent visitors. Someone who has never been won’t have anything to compare it to.
I like the Genie + system better than the previous FP+ where fast passes had to be reserved 60dsy out or whatever it was. I silk had to wake up early that day and/or try to make time at workto make those reservations. And the old paper fast passes often caused a big stampede at RD to get the popular ride. At least now I don’t have to worry about getting trampled.
iadmit That I would like it better if Genie + were free, but then again I remember paying for whatever Universal called their front of the line psss a long time ago.
As more parades and shows come back Iwill be happier because I prefer todo rides while others are waiting or watching the shows.
All that being said,WFW is expensive. If we had not bought into DVC 25 yrs ago, we wouldn’t have done Disney as much as we have.

The main issues with Genie, the big rides will not be available after a few mins so you are paying for the small rides that n

tl;dr alert...

Maybe I'm in the minority, and granted I have actually used the system yet, but I like what I've seen so far from Genie+ and LL. It seems similar to the ole paper FP system (despite the added cost, obviously) but with what I see as the convenience of using your phone. I remember the paper FPs, having to run from machine to machine, wait in long lines, sometimes a family "rep" with like 10 park tickets so they can get FPs for everyone in their party. And just like with the current system, popular rides were out of FPs early, sometimes by 10 or 11 am. Also, my parent just went on a 3 day trip where they hit up every park. They decided they didn't want to deal with the Genie + and they didn't have any issues. Wait times were reasonable and they managed to do everything they wanted, multiple times in many cases. Did they have to get the parks a little early or stay a little late? Sure, but that's always been the best strategy anyways. I firmly believe you can still get a ton out of a Disney trip and have a blast without over planning and getting lost in the details, but also understand that it's all relative.

All that aside, I agree on the cost. It's obscene and unfortunate and is without a doubt a barrier for many. The bad thing is, as long as the market will bear that price, Disney will keep charging it. But, the GOOD thing is, if/when the market will no longer bear it, things will come down. I also don't really blame Disney for the expense. I don't AGREE with it, mind you, but I understand it. If people wouldn't pay it, they wouldn't charge it. At the end of the day they are a business and are out to make a profit. They are doing what they think is best for their business. That being said, you as a consumer don't have to agree with what they are doing at all and certainly don't have to support it, and Disney, just like any business, will hit a point of diminishing returns and will have to adjust accordingly when that happens. Hopefully that's coming soon, though the way spending is in the current economy, I wouldn't count on it (inflation right now is insane all across the board). But the best way to show a business you don't agree with what they are doing is to just not patronize that business. Maybe one or two people doing that won't matter, but eventually enough will and it WILL matter.

Consumers should always do whatever maximizes their ROI. I know many of us, myself included, have an emotional attachment to Disney, and it hurts to say no sometimes, but if you don't feel the ROI is there, do something else. There are TONS of great places to visit. Check some of them out. On the flip side, if you love Disney and still feel it's worth every penny, don't feel bad about it. Go ahead, plop down the cash and have a blast.

The major problem with Genie is you have to pay the non refundable fee in advance and then on busy days all the major rides are gone in less than 15 secs. Then you paid $15+tax each for rides that you can wait in line for. That happened to us - slinky dog LL was gone in less than 3 sec - just long enough for me to press the button when the phone changes to 7.

After all these years, and so many great trips, magical moments, and a lifetime of memories, I never thought I would get to the place where I'm just not excited and looking forward to WDW; but that is where I am right now. Yesterday I did the unthinkable and canceled our February reservation and our 8-night stay at the Yacht Club. I'm just having a hard time getting excited about spending 9K for just the room and park tickets. In addition, this Genie, Genie+, iLL$, slave to a smartphone, no Magical Express, more cutbacks, more add ons for extra money, closures, limited experiences, masks, the uncertainty of the near future of this nearly 2-year pandemic, I have just lost interest.

I guess I'm just getting old and not feeling the magic this time around. I'm sure I'll get flamed and there are some who will say, "Good, fewer people for me." I would say, "Your Welcome." To each their own. I'm not attacking Disney, just that I think they are starting to move in a different direction than I am going. I guess I'll just take some of that money, pack up the truck, attach the boat, and head from N.E. Ohio and find a nice cabin on the lake somewhere in Kentucky, NY, Tenn, or somewhere that's a several-hour drive away and enjoy a quiet and relaxing vacation this time around.

$9k ought to be able to get you a mansion to rent at one of those lakes!

 

[Jaydee51]

I understand this sentiment but feel it’s not reasonable to expect average person to drop $8 to $10k to experiment and hope their experience is different then average poster. I agree they may go and find they still love it but at the cost I don’t blame anyone for not wanting to risk it.

2022 was going to be big year for us doing 3 to 4 trips with multiple extended family members. All the recent changes have me questioning whether I will even go once or just rent out min dvc points that expire and continue to bank points until future year.

We are also for first time considering doing universal instead since Disney isn’t currently selling annual passes and without magic express we will have car for first time. As Pete said on recent show the idea of staying at dvc resort and going to universal is looking appealing.

I know exactly how you feel and almost cancelled our week 52 at BRV bc I really was not feeling it. the only reason I didn't cancel is bc son has limited time off and thinking about dissapointing him breaks my heart. although we r going to BRV, not going to any parks. we'll enjoy the resort, visit neighboring resorts to see holiday decorations and make most meals in 1 bedroom with full kitchen. Just feeling blah about Disney and the emotional & financial drain is too much. No longer feel the magic.

[PittPantherfan]

I appreciate the input and am well aware of all of what you say. Heres' the thing for us. Our style of doing WDW is Deluxe Resorts. I would be miserable staying in a purple, yellow, green, or bright orange resort with oversized toys on it or a large resort like many of the moderates. We also enjoy doing the signature restaurants and not chewing on a turkey leg or some chicken nuggets or hot dogs from a CS. Nothing wrong with those who enjoy that, it's just not us. Our evenings enjoying a "fancy" meal is who we are and a big part of our Disney experience. How you do WDW is 100% the right thing to do for you and I'm sure for many others. For me... Not my way of doing it. As for stress, I have never felt stress and Disney in the past, but these past 7 months planning for this trip until I canceled have been very stress-filled. Like I said, hopping in the truck with the boat in tow to a place like Lake Cumberland in KY, Lake George in NY, or Smith Mountain Lake in Va is starting to look like a great vacation idea. Been looking at these lakes since I canceled. Now that would be a fun stress-free trip. For me, at this current time, stress-free and Disney are polarizing opposites.

From northwest PA - consider Silver Dollar City in Branson - I know Branson sounds hokie but Silver Dollar City is a park my family loves. Kids even picked there over Disney one year. Haven't been for a few years but the customer service was right up there with what we experienced at Disney. All the youth working were so nice and even the other visitors too- good midwest values on display. The park food was delicious. Table Rock lake is awesome too for your boat.

We are locals to Silver Dollar City and have a lake house on Table Rock lake. I completely agree with you that it is a great theme park and when you couple it with a lake trip, it can make for an amazing vacation. The only problem is that SDC on its own can't really fill a week's worth of vacation like WDW can, but if you are a lake person, it's amazing to put those two together. I definitely recommend them.

BUT, Silver Dollar City, like most other theme parks also struggles with crowd levels during their season and offer what they call a Trailblazer pass which is like the Express Pass at Universal. But it's not terribly priced at $75 per person/per day for unlimited rides. I only post that to say that while I think Silver Dollar City is amazing and should be a must-do for theme park enthusiasts, it has its own limitations as well.

Genuine question as I don't have any actual real world experience using it yet, are the Genie+ (i.e. rides included in the $15 flat fee) gone that quickly too, or is that just the upcharge LL stuff? As I understand it, you do not need to have Genie+ in order to purchase an upcharge LL.

For example, looking at the MK tip board right now (10:40 am on Wed, Dec. 15) I don't see anything unavailable yet, even 7DMT (LL), PP and Space Mt (LL).

Looking at Epcot, DHS and AK, Slinky Dog, Rise and Flight of Passage are gone (but not surprised by those at all since it's already almost 11), but everything else is still available.

So by my count if you paid the $15 for Genie + you wouldn't be out any potential rides yet at any park. For the LL's, that still a trick to be sure you get one, but those are pay-on-demand so you don't pay for them in advance right?

Personally, I think it's most valuable at MK just due to the number of rides. I think for the other parks you have to do some research on crowds and just make the decision as best you can. Same as with Universal EP. Sometimes you might buy it and find out when you get there that you don't need it. But at least with G+ it's only $15/person not $90 or whatever EP is.

No flames here. I'm here now and it's definitely overwhelming. I don't think we're alone in that thinking. I've posted similar thoughts, and had responses questioning my expectations. My expectation is that if I pay almost $700, ticket only for 1 person, for an experience, the company I'm paying will do everything possible to make the experience positive. I don't think that's happening here at Disney. My next trip will be 2023, maybe by then things will have smoothed out and settled down. Sorry you felt you had to cancel your trip.

 

[MamaMermaid]

I respect that. Your alternate plan sounds great. Enjoy!

 

[Newbie500]

I sense your frustration. I have a DVC at BLT which I purchased in 2019. Talk about bad timing! We've were rationed our points due to covid so I managed to go once last year, once again this past summer and will be going again during this Christmas week (first time split stay). We were in the parks each time we went to the resort. We adjusted to the masking, the social distancing, and the lack of shows, parades, etc.

We purchased Genie+ and park hoppers for this coming visit. I'm not too optimistic about how things will work out. The plan is to use this allotment of DVC points and depending upon this next trip experience, we might sit out the next year or two before coming back. Before we purchased DVC, we had gone to WDW 4 times in 4 years so we have a fair frame of reference for what things were like in the recent past. I can say that the new rides are great but the park experience overall has gone downhill with all the changes.

I'm not ready to quit WDW yet. I hope they are listening. Maybe if revenue drops off significantly next year, they will notice and provide more value for our money. If not, we might see you one day at the lake.

I wouldn’t spend too much time or energy checking things from home. When we were there in Nov a time would show, but when I actually clicked and selected my party the time it gave me would be different… sometimes by only 15 minutes and other times 1 hr or so later. If I didn’t finalize it then sometimes I could get the time I wanted back by refreshing or closing out the app and going back in. It was very frustrating and I ended up being the one in my group on the phone all day. We had my older parents with so we couldn’t just criss cross the park all day and the rides that always had a “now” return time were things we did in the morning when things were walk on. We also have 2 small kids and like to break mid-day and then come back for the evening…it wasn’t overly crowded so return times weren’t too far out which meant I spent our break constantly checking for times to get into the evening for when we would be back in the park. From our personal experience and after speaking with friends who also used Genie+ at different crowd levels is Genie+ feels like such a gamble. I’m happy to pay more if I know what I’m getting, but this feels like a toss up. Def experience it for yourself because it might work well for your touring style, but we already said next trip we’ll stick with early mornings and late nights and pass on Genie+.

TBF as a former CM in both on stage (college program) and corporate (marketing) roles, all CMs are not created equal and CMs are asked to fill in in random areas they aren't used to all the time. At least when I was there, there was even a role called a "Rescue Ranger" whose job was to fill in anywhere it was needed in any park or resort (in operations, retail, etc.). Especially now, with no international CMs, and the other recruiting challenges out there (as a manager who has had to hire staff during the pandemic, believe me, it's a challenge), it's difficult. I'm NOT saying they shouldn't be doing better, but I am saying that sometimes, particularly at a place that employees the population of a small city, things like this happen.

But to actually answer your question... you don't need to purchase Genie+ for the upcharge rides. Our MK day with Genie+ was so annoying that we didn't purchase it the next day. We had a lazy morning, ate and shopped at Disney Springs, did the pool, and then spent the evening at Epcot and took advantage of the extra hours for deluxe guests. We decided to purchase Remy so we could pick a time that worked for us, but did not buy Genie+.

We found that the more popular rides did not sell out, but didn't always have a time that worked. We had friends that used it over Thanksgiving and with the higher crowds things were selling out. So it really depends on the crowds and how you like to tour.

 

[dreynolds1982]

I so agree with you. It's a pet peeve of mine to to see people saying to go to the national parks instead of Disney and implying that that kind of vacation will be easy with no planning and crowds. There are just more people in the world period and way more people who can afford to travel, meaning so many places have crowd issues. Crowds at popular National Parks appear to me to have increased way more than Disney crowds, and those vacations for me take more planning than a Disney vacation does.

So much this. Look, I get it. Disney "ain't what it used to be" but in reality, very few things are either. I love travel. In the past year alone, my wife and I have done two two-week-long trips that mixed in popular tourist destinations, national parks/nature sites, cities, and more. I also live in a MAJOR tourist destination (Charleston, SC). I have felt the burn most everywhere TBH. Charleston alone has been more crowded than ever in the 20 years I've lived here. Beaches are jam packed. Traffic is awful.

I've also noticed that it's not just the amount of people, but the behavior of people negatively impacting most everything. (I know this sounds like an old man tirade but I'm only 39 I swear haha). I LOVE going to movies, but people have just about ruined that for me too. More crowds + significantly less considerate people is a bad bad mix.

Oh and cost. Yes, Disney is expensive, but I can attest, so is everywhere else. Tried renting a car lately? Think Disney parking is expensive? Stay in a downtown hotel in a big city. I mean just eating out in Charleston keeps me near bankruptcy haha.

I'm not trying to excuse Disney, I'm just saying that this is a much much more widespread problem than just Disney, and as someone who loves to travel all over, everywhere, it's bumming me out!

Yeah we're doing a one day in Epcot in late March and I don't plan on getting Genie+. My parents had great luck just doing it the old fashioned way by maximizing park time, going with the flow, etc. That's what we're going to do.

Agree. I live near Dollywood. And while it’s cheaper than Disney to get into the park, its not like it’s super cheap to stay. I looked up a room for 2 people at their resort for 4 nights in December—$430 per night excluding taxes. You do get the Timesaver pass for free or else you can pay $60 per person per day. You can use it for 8 rides. So Genie at $15 per person even if you get 3 rides out of it is not out of line. Biltmore charges over $110 per person to tour during the Christmas season. And the hotel for Biltmore—last I checked it was $900 a room for the 3 weeks around Christmas plus taxes and fees.

 

[jade1]

I sense your frustration. I have a DVC at BLT which I purchased in 2019. Talk about bad timing!

Bad timing for visits, although some of our best trips were during covid.

However your value is probably up about $30 a point. At least something positive.

I think this is an excellent point… nothing is quite what it used to be, and costs have shot through the roof for many things. So, you can make different choices if that’s best, to live with changes. For our kids, summer camp wasn’t at all the same, but the cost went up. Travel to Washington state was also not the same… many closures, staff shortages, supply shortages, surcharges, etc and astronomical costs for hotel and rental cars.

I don’t mind Disney charging for Genie+ (everyone else does, and it is a business with a goal of generating profit) but, I would like a option that works and is not based on a 7 am battle with the phones. I liked the certainly of the past of my 3 fast passes, and then we could relax, not rope drop, and know we had at least those three. I would pay to have that back… I would pay a premium to lock in 3 rides at 30 or 60 days…

or, charge like universal for front of the line so all have reasonable expectations. I hate to say, but, the price Disney is charging leads to too many people buying the product, and there are not enough rides to meet that demand - so, the answer is to raise prices. Less people buy and therefore are not disappointed in what they got, and you can plan (I.e., know you need rope drop or evening strategies to manage popular rides).

 

[Darcy03231]

I have many mixed emotions about our Disney trip this year. We will be staying at POP 12/20- 12/26. We have 4 rooms booked for our party of 14. This is by far the most expensive trip I have booked in all my years of going to Disney. I have purchased Genie+ and 5 day tickets, and I realize I will have to add dining costs and any ILL's we want to ride. I stress daily trying to find out all I can about this new Genie+ system and all the changes that have been made. I know that each park day will be uncertain and will all depend on what LL's and ILL's that we will be able to snag.
My prior worries for a Disney trip used to be as simple as watching the weather and planning our wardrobe for the trip. That was because planning a Disney trip was second nature to us and after all our trips we knew Disney like the back of our hand. We have been at the parks on a crowd level 10 day and managed just fine.

I will not cancel this trip because of my worries. My family desperately needs this trip, I need this trip. Our last trip was December 2019 right before this pandemic that has attacked our world.
I want to feel that joy of walking down Main Street with my family.
I love seeing my grown daughters eyes when they see Cinderella's Castle as if they were still little girls.
I want to ride Splash Mountain with my grandchildren and hear them laugh when I am the one to get wet.
I want to spin in the Teacups so fast that we can hardly stand up when we get off.
I want to raise my hands into the air while on Thunder Mountain knowing its the best coaster ever.
I want to ride It's a Small World and take in every beautiful sight and hum the song the rest of the day.
I want to ride the Jungle Cruise and laugh at the same old corny jokes.
I want to ride Aladdin's Magic Carpet and try to dodge the spray of the Camel.
I want to Spin on Buzz Lightyear's and never be able to know which red dot is mine and never hit a target.
I want to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of the Tiki Room, Hall of Presidents and Country Bears.
Dole Whips and Mickey Pretzels, emptying the popcorn bucket and standing in line to refill.

I think I'll start packing!

I sincerely hope you have a magical vacation.

Happy Holidays.
