so confused on mobile dining genie+ ILL$ ...

[Dznypal]

bascially everything that is new which is just about everything--
first today for fun I just wanted to see what restrauants you could get resverations for

I tried random dates from now till around 12*3 and nothing was coming up at all not sure whats up with that
since Im not good with doing things on a computer let alone with my phone Im not too thrilled with the mobile ordering bit

do we have to use it-- or can we just walk to a QS and order--like in the good old days

now on to genie + havent really much of a clue what this is all about--from what I figure as of now--the free genie just gives you recommedation on what to do and when --really nothing more then MDE
but then the genie+ which took over FP+ about the only thing I can follow is you pay $15 PP perday and then is it like a FP+ where you look at your phone and figure out what you want to do next--

if anyone has any tips that could walk me through this step by step I would greatly appreciate it--

thanks all

Unfortunately, they aren't questions that can be answered quickly.
You can still order in person at QS, but you may have to get past a "gate keeping" cast member, depending on location.

Reservations are hard to come by. Try app and website, make sure you clear cookies. Try changing party size and selecting specific times instead of "breakfast, lunch, dinner". Some TS restaurants now accept walk ups and you can check availability in the app

The Theme Park Attraction forum has several helpful Genie threads. Good luck!

just thought of a few more questions--like I brought up in my first post I was on the website just playing around with dates to see what comes up--do I need to have park tickets on MDE to see how things work

also is there like a practice were you can actually see how genie+ is going to work without having to wait till your in the parks

this is going to basically be a resort trip for us--mostly relaxing and checking out the other resorts

until things get back to somewhat normal (if thats even still a word) we dont want to spend alot and getting far less for it

we have DVC and have points that need to be used so if we dont go now we will lose points

thanks

also this trying to eat is going to be a headache--just the thought of figuring out what QS we want for say lunch when were just getting up doesnt sound like fun either

still maybe it will be the old fashion way and you go where and when your hungry since we dont go till the end of JAn
