Disney Genie+ sells out for the second consecutive day at Walt Disney World

JD8019 hours ago

I just got back from a 3 park day with hoppers trip. Essentially use it like G+ but you have 3 tracks instead of 1. If you see a S tier attraction open always snag it. I always had 1 or 2 stacked for later in the day and when I had a few seconds refreshed for earlier times. LLMP is useless for EPCOT or AK. In EPCOT it mostly acts as a LLSP for either Frozen or Remy. Whatever one you don't get just rope drop.

Sure, but you only get a limited opportunity to modify times, assuming you plan to book your options as soon as you are eligible. You choose your 3 attractions, and then MDE spits back 3 passes. If you are booking your passes the same time as the hordes are booking their passes, then the earliest time options will change on you the more you try to look at different attractions and times. So, to some extent, within the above framework, you should choose rides you want to ride. I agree with your prebook #1. After that, it gets a bit murkier. If I look now for MK for 11/8 the times I get: iasw -2pm (on 11/10 same) buzz 2:40 (same) Dumbo 2pm (same) HM 4:25pm (on 11/10 6pm) teacups 2pm (same) Philarmagic 2:40pm (on 11/10, 3:40pm) PotC 2:10pm (on 11/10, 3:55pm) Monsters 2:40p (same) Aladdin 2pm (same) Barnstormer 2:45pm (on 11/10 2pm) Pooh 3:35pm (on 11/10, 4pm) Speedway 2pm (same)' LM 2:40pm (on 11/10, 2:50pm) If MDE gave me ANY pass that is within 2hours of park opening, I didn't bother trying to toggle around too much. If you choose a lamer ride as 1 of your initial 3, you can, but you'll be making a bit of a trade-off when you are in the park. You might get a small advantage picking your 4th pass, but you will be sacrificing the ability to do a major ride while standbys are short. Hitting short standbys= potential re-ride using a LL pass. Day of, my system was not that elaborate. I toggled a little between the best available and the next available worthwhile pass. As with G+, Dumbo, teacups, Philarmagic, and Monsters are always available, but the LL pass also doesn't impact your wait for those rides. Kali does sell out on hot days, but it doesn't rank higher than the safari, IMO. I mean, for me, missing Kali is not much of a loss. I had no trouble getting it when I ranked it #4 after the safari on a hot day. Na'vi is a good #1, then I chose Safari and EE. If you do DIno as a standby before 11am, it will probably be walk-on. Wow, today looks really slow at AK. At 1:30pm" FoP=35min, Na'vi =40, Safari =25, Dino/bug= 10, EE/Meet Pals =15, and TriceraTop Spin 5. As a small aside, it bugs me that the name of the ride is TriceraTop Spin. The animal is spelled triceratops.

I know you said you wanted honest feedback about your plan so apologizes up front, but this is exactly why I was so down on the switch to LLMP from G+. Our window just opened up yesterday and I looked at everything, planned one day, thought about having to slog through 9 more and just said nope. Being able to make choices based on how we felt in real time was so much more relaxing. We've gone from purchasing G+ most days to one day of a 10-day trip. Not having to plan really does make the LLPP very appealing. I won't buy it because one, it is overpriced and two, we don't NEED to go on every ride but I can certainly see the appeal. Anyway, hopefully someone else who has used it will chime in with some useful feedback.

Honestly looking for some feedback on my LLMP strategy for those that have been in the parks and used it. First I grouped the rides into tiers based on how early they sell out via thrill data: Tier Magic Kingdom EPCOT DHS Animal Kingdom S Tiana Remy SDD, TSMM Navi A JC, HM, Pan, Pooh Frozen TOT Kali (hot weather) B BTMRR, SM, Mission Space MMRR, RNRC Safari C Buzz, Pirates SSE, Soarin Alien, MFSR Dinosaur, Everest D Barnstormer, Dumbo, Small World, Speedway, Mermaid Everything else Star Tours Prebook 1: If S tier is available, book it regardless of time. If no S tier available, the best ride within 5 hours of park opening Prebook 2: The best ride you can get within 3 hours of park opening Prebook 3: The best ride you can get within 1 hour of park opening Day of booking the next LLMP priority list An S tier attraction if available Do you have anything booked for the next 90 mins? If yes, move to 3. If no, select the best ride available in the next 90 mins Is there a A tier attraction that is available to you in the next 6 hours? If yes, book it. Are any B tier available in the next 4 hours? If so book it. If no, move to 5. Are any tier 4 available in the next 2 hours? If so book it. If no, move to 6. Book the best ride available regardless of time. [/LIST] Obviously, there is more to take into account especially in EPCOT with the size, but does this seem like a good general guideline?

Can't remember how my mom did it when back in the day in the 1970s we has a stainless steel lid container outside our front door to our house. The milkman delivered 6 to 8 glass bottles of milk then at the end of the week we left the empty bottles in the container for pick up.

Disney constantly has discounts going. I know people who went just because of the ticket deal they had over the summer.

I think in decades past it was just framed differently. The highest price point was the “regular” price while anything else was a “sale” (and of course things go on sale all the time, and some things were almost always on sale.)

The difference of course is when “demand is low”, Disney dramatically reduces the quality of the experience while not reducing prices (less entertainment, less hours, less staffing, less dining options, reduced attraction capacity, etc., etc). It would be like the airline making you sit on a milk crate, load your own baggage, serve your own drinks, and making five connections to get there because “demand is low”.

Don't airlines raise prices but also have great deals at times unlike Disney raise prices at high demand but rarely have great deals when demand is low

Is this honestly a serious post?

Every single one of them. That’s where this artificial inflation is coming from across the board.

I see you don’t understand what price gouging means…

People buy Lightning Lane passes so they don't have to stand in long lines.
