Y’all went on a busy holiday week and expected it not to be busy. That’s a poor consumer choice.

However, I’ve seen everyone complain about the Genie+ thing. Definitely put that out there (social media, message boards, comments/letters to the Mouse) because that’s the only way it will change


Oh don't get me wrong. I fully expected it to be busy. Especially as soon as they dropped the mask mandate there. On top of it, they dropped the mask mandate for indoors as well. Throw in it being a holiday weekend and the 50th. This summer, I fully expect them to be pre Covid crowds there. I just think the new system itself is flawed. Genie + was a way to have a "premium" service without it being very premium. Universal kicks Disney's butt in the fast pass department (though it is much higher in price too).

Another thing I was surprised about is last Year Universal would bring stuff back to our resort for us to pick up later instead of carrying around. Disney doesn't do this anymore since Covid and the cast member said they may not start back using it again with staffing issues and such.

That pissed me off about my trip last year. When I go back later this year I won’t be staying at one of their resorts unless they bring it back. That Holiday Inn at Disney Springs is clutch. Might stay at the Hilton though. My buddy was a nut hair away from Spire status and was going to use it to raise me to Platinum status with IHG’s rewards.

That reminds me, I need to browse around and find some discount codes for my tickets.

Too many folks are buying the service. It's rendering the benefits of Genie + useless. The only response is to raise the price, but as Disney has found out, people are still willing to pay it no matter how much they increase costs.

I think Universal's version is $100 per day. That would weed out many Genie+ buyers because most are there with families. You also have to consider that you can do universal in a day. Hitting all of the Disney parks is a week-long affair.
