Disney Genie announcement

[Grasshopper2016]

Did anyone try to stack a second ride at 11:00?

 

[CindysMice]

A poster on another thread suggested force closing the app and then reopening. I did that and it worked for me, I can see wait times again.

Yeah I’ve done that few times and no luck, I even closed everything off my phone, shut my phone down and restarted… . Thanks though!

 

[DoleWhipping]

ROTR is temporarily closed.

That should be interesting.

Came here to say the same thing.

Slinky Dog looks to be completed booked now.

One just appears for 7:45

I have been thinking of doing ILL in my evening park and doing G+ on certain days (maybe 2-3 times during a 9 day trip). You will still be able to get so much done in the mornings with EE and RD. We never did morning FP+. I’ll wait to read more since I have a year until my trip and I’m sure things will change by then.

We're planning on the same thing. The only two rides we even plan to use ILL for is Rise and Remy and thats only if we can't grab a Remy boarding group at 7am. We have two rope drop days at MK and won't use it on the first day, whether we use it on the second depends on how much success we have on the first day. At Epcot we will likely do G+ and if we fo FEA it will be at park close.

Can someone tell me

- if I book my first genie plus ride for late afternoon can I stack them up for later in the day with out been in the park

- also can you select your time for both Individual selection LL if u make two

Yes, you can stack at least 2 (not sure yet beyond that)

you can select return times but there seemed to be glitches w ROTR today

 

[DavidNYC]

Can someone confirm whether you're able to make your next reservation as soon as you tap into your current attraction, and whether that next reservation needs to be 120 minutes away.

The 120 minutes has nothing to do with how far away the next actual ride time has to be. Just the maximum amount of time before you can make a new reservation (in case the prior ride reservation you have is more than 120 minutes in the future). Several reports have confirmed ride times themselves can be closer together and which is what was anticipated based on how it was explained in advance.

The CM in the app chat finally gave up on me.

They first said I would need to reinstall the app....I said I had done that 5-6 times already....but I did it anyways. Still nothing. Then they said to use the website which I told them that LL selections could not be made there. Then they told me that Lightning Lane and Genie + are two different things. I mentioned that even within the app they are both called lightning lane, it's just a matter of one being included with G+ and the other being paid....they disagreed but I also pointed out that it doesn't make a difference because I can't select either option anyways. Then they said that they also couldn't make selections with my account so please see guest services. So my free day is a bust.

[LSUfan4444]

In theory, I think this should work but TouringPlans said they would be testing this...

So if my wife and I both log into my MDX account but from separate devices...do you think she can try for the Remy Boarding Group at 7am while I work on Genie + and Lightening Lane?

Thanks for sharing! That seems surprisingly good.

You have to change your ticket type unless you have a ticket and park reservation for today

Im not going until Dec ... I thought you could add it to your reservation?

 

[LSUfan4444]

Im not going until Dec ... I thought you could add it to your reservation?

You can if you wait until the day you want to add it. If you want to add it in advance you have to change your ticket type (like you would add a park hopper). It is not added to your park reservation but your actual ticket.

 

[badinnplaid]

Very specific question, but I have a trip in a couple of weeks where I'll be using comp tickets, and I don't seem to be able to add Genie+ yet. Seeing people having success adding it across all their days, but when I click on it, it just brings me to the "Tickets and Passes" page but no indication I can do anything. Anyone else having this issue?

I have park hopper.. Military tickets

 

[LSUfan4444]

I have park hopper.. Military tickets

And you will have to change that to a park hopper with genie +

I have no idea, but the idea that this would even be necessary is just ridiculous. I used to single handedly plan our trips (for my nuclear family and our extended families). This was fine because I could do it ahead of time, and then relax. Now not only will I have to be figuring all this nonsense on the fly each morning, I'll probably have to rope other members of my party into doing the same, coordinating who is "working on" what. I don't know that this is what I want my vacation to feel like.

Questions:

120 minute rule? Whose tested it? Who has anything stacked?

 

[DavidNYC]

Can someone tell me

- if I book my first genie plus ride for late afternoon can I stack them up for later in the day with out been in the park

The answer is they system allows it - whether you CAN is more problematic. The issue is you have no control over being able to book a Genie+ ride for the late afternoon. You may sign on at say, 11am and find the return times for the ride you were hoping to book at still at 1pm when you were hoping to book a ride at 4pm. Hopefully, you'll be able to find something you want to ride that has a return time after you plan to arrive but who knows what time you'll need to be on your phone to get the times you want. For example, no ride at MK has a return time later than 2pm right now and almost all are still between 11-1. But in EPCOT Test Track is at 3:10 now so perhaps if that is where you were going you could do that and then get another in 2 hours. So - afternoon stacking is going to take a bit or luck and phone monitoring.

I appreciate the info! I think it might be more important for the times at AK at 10 though as that would seem the second opportunity for offsite guests to book another Genie+ attraction.
