    Everything Genie, Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane - Please Read Posts 1-7

    That was our experience in February 2024. And even Tron was allowing an additional hour. That's for the paid version of the individual ride LL (so not Genie+)

    A different way to do Disney… should I?

    Genie+ and $ILL really make it possible to relax and still get all the "good" rides. But it is expensive. And you do have to do the "7am rush" on your phone.

    Would you rather - park hopper vs. base tickets edition...

    get 4 day hoppers. :) (yes I know that's slightly obnoxious but life is short what's a few benjamins here and there on vacation)

    Not sure where this post belongs but

    Just wanted to add that spring break might have something to do with it.

    Wait time vs quality of attraction

    Another vote for EE. I've always wondered why that line is short.

    About genie+

    This made me laugh! Great post. It is sad they moved FastPass to a paid system. All of what it offers used to be free. It does work though, very well. You can ride everything with minimal waits. You don't even need VQ if you're willing to pay (and VQ has a much longer wait than...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    "Not to quibble"? hardly! lol I specifically said it's "not ideal" to have to spend more money, I was merely pointing out a park with great rides is easily doable with no waits if you do indeed spend it. The value of that spend is up to the spender. I, too, enjoyed the free FP system of old...

    Here Now & Just Back WDW Reopening Experiences Including Park Hopping

    great report. you probably already know this but HS needs Genie+ and paid LL$ for Rise to make it work. But.....yeah. That's $30-$35 per person. Not ideal. However it gets you Rise, Slinky, MMRR, MFSR, TOT, TSMM with no wait (and RNRC if it's running). That's not bad value vs. skipping the...

    The light turns blue when you are late (or early) instead of green. I guess I was still remembering the "fast passes never expire" rule of years ago (and that definitely was the rule back then you could go in your hour, or any time after that) and I though Genie+ was the same. They did let us...

    At the parks now and they definitely make a statement if you are late for any lighting lane reservation The CM at Peter Pan and HM gave us a legitimate hard time but did let us in. We were very kind but they just said you are over and hour late don’t let it happen again.

    Everything Virtual Queue - Please Read Posts 1 and 2

    Let's say I get in the VQ and I also buy a $ILL for later in the day for Tron for my wife and I. We ride using the VQ. And she decides she doesn't want to ride it again with the $ILL. Will I be able to use her $ILL for myself? I feel like that's not gaming the system or anything...we would...

    Best way to International Gateway/Epcot from Caribbean Beach with Skyliner down?

    I've stayed at BC/YC a few times and used that International Gateway a bunch IMO fastest is to Uber to the BC main entrance and walk over to the Gateway 5-7min walk). Even if Skyliner is running it will be slower (but of course, free. And way cooler.).

    Help, please! Haven't been in 5 years, walk me through new..

    The best way to do the new rides guaranteed is spend more money over and above your park ticket. You can buy individual rides for Tron and Guardians of the Galaxy the morning of your planned ride for $15-$20 each starting at 7am. You can also do this for Avatar Flight of Passage, Seven Dwarves...

    In the past I have set up by Genie+ and $LL stuff at 7am from my breakfast table in NY before flying down to Florida to check into the hotel and going to a park that night and using them.

    the most amazing thing to me is you made it from Epcot to MK in 20 mins on your first day. and 25 mins from AK to HS on day 2. I can't even Uber it that fast!

    Pin Trading - still a thing?

    The issue we ran into after while was that everyone keeps their good pins and wants to trade lesser pins. And you need a circulation of lesser pins for currency...so what happened was cheap knock offs appeared and folks would buy a bunch of those in the hope of trading them for good pins. We...

    Thank you very much for pointing out this WSJ series. I didn't know it was out there and it's very informative.

    It's certainly easier to be a low information poster calling other people idiots, that's for sure. Carry on. ;)

    Mary Lou Retton Fighting for Her Life in ICU

    Idiot? No, she was wise. The government has allowed the healthcare industry to expand to around 20% of the economy...but the Medicare tax has not increased at anything even close to the same rate (politically untenable). Result? MRIs and medicines that cost thousands when they should be a...
