Last trip to Disney was an 8 day trip. Went to Epcot twice. How many times did I get to ride Guardians of the Galaxy? Twice.

At Universal, my daughter rode Velocicoaster 6 times in a row, in the middle of the day. One of the most popular rides in the park, at the busiest time of the park!

Impossible at Disney.


Guardians isn't on G+, it's an individual person but yes....it can only be done twice per day (except if you have evening magic hours being a deluxe resort guest), then it can be done three times.

Once via virtual queue
Once via individual purchase
Once during evening magic hours virtual queue

The unlimited express pass is $110 - $310 per park / per day / per person, genie Plus is $25 or less.

So sure, if velocicoaster or guardians 6x was your goal you'll have better success at IoA but it will cost you more money overall than what Epcot would cost and IoA just isn't as good of a park overall.

Definitely impacts people who can drive there more imo. It was a trip for us so we stayed on site for the experience, early access, and included express.

Staying at Loews Royal Pacific was the same cost as staying at Boardwalk - which you need to get the evening magic hours in your example.

Know what I got for free for staying at Royal Pacific? A free Unlimited Express Pass.

Never had to get on my phone my entire stay to do any of the hoop jumping you have to do at Disney to ride a ride 3 times.

All I had to do was scan my lanyard at every ride at the park with the exception of Hagrids.

Like I said earlier, until Genie+ is dead at Disney, Disney is dead to me. I have spent 10s of thousands at Disney too. Was the biggest Disney homer for 15 years.

I've been to universal 3-4 times over the last couple of years and never seen it 600 for the park hopper option.

The most I've ever seen is 350 for the two park option. The average I've seen is 200, but for that trip stayed on property and got for free.

There’s a 0% chance virtual queues actually happen in the manner you guys are expecting, as said there’s no room. The ride lines are a massive portion of the parks capacity, If people aren’t in line where are they going to go? I’ve been at Disney in the “offseason” and portions of magic kingdom were shoulder to shoulder already.

I went to Disney Paris in 2022 and it was great because….it wasn’t busy. The entire issue with Disney World isnt the genie+ or anything else, it’s there are too many people. I don’t know the answer, but no one complains about Disney Land because…it’s not busy.

So I’m not sure the solution as far as build more parks, reduce capacity, increase price, etc. but the issue is just too many people.
