Disney has also had several fun and positive announcements on Fridays lately, so you never know.Yep . Every single unpopular or potentially contentious government or school board announcement during this pandemic came on a Friday where I live. If they were expecting a backlash it always came on Friday so people had the weekend to freak out and calm down a bit .
I’m bracing myself too !
It may not mean much, but anybody else see what I see in those scroll throughs/screenshots on the phones?Not sure if I’m allowed to share blog links like this, but some info today on Genie app and line waits:

“Additionally we’ve made significant investments in sophisticated technology and tools, created a revolutionary new multi-tiered service we’re calling Disney Genie. We’re very, very excited about the new service. We’ll be providing additional details soon. The goal will appear in the user-friendly app is to create a better, more personalized, and customized experience for guests. Putting them in control and providing even greater flexibility and choice. They will be able to spend less time waiting in line and figuring out what attractions and dining options are available and more time having fun.”

Do you mean the mention of FP+? It could mean something, but I feel I’ve seen this publicity image for years now. I think it’s old.It may not mean much, but anybody else see what I see in those scroll throughs on the phones?
Yea, I thought I had remembered them. Just hopeful haha.Do you mean the mention of FP+? It could mean something, but I feel I’ve seen this publicity image for years now. I think it’s old.

No, it’s a good piece of evidence!!Yea, I thought I had remembered them. Just hopeful haha.
Fingers crossedDisney has also had several fun and positive announcements on Fridays lately, so you never know.
First, Club 33 opened 6 months after Walt Disney's death. A dead man did not create Club 33.You mean the same man that created Club 33? Even ticket books favored those who could spend more money. That argument gets thrown around every now and then, but really never makes sense.
I will start by saying that the following items are identified as "concept images" on the BlogMickey page: The one screen that shows "current wait time" for SDMT of 150 minutes also includes a "skip the standby line" link for FP+ (which says "check availability"). That link is probably going to take you to the pay-to-play screen, which may reflect dynamic pricing. Maybe guests will get some "free wishes" each day before rolling over to pay wishes?? I guess we will find out soon???? . (I really don't like that word now.)
A frightening thought!ETA: Anyone think Disney may manipulate times shown to encourage purchase of FP+?

And yet a possibility - haven't wait times in the app been very inflated this year? If so, that could make it very difficult to make an informed decision about paying for a FP, but I think most purchases will be based on emotion and made spur-of-the-moment, especially with FOMO at play.A frightening thought!
