Not a fan. I hate the planning. And it is not for the main rides where crowding is the real issue. Those will cost even more.

We're planners, so we don't like this as it doesn't allow planning in advance. And the charge is not a positive  Honestly, it would be more worth the money for us if they allowed something like 60 days advance like FP+. Cheers. |

(okay don't see a place to change font while replying/typing to a thread really tiny for me - anyone else? do I need to do something? - seems okay after it posts)
Not a fan.
We have been so many times, I will not pay extra money to get on a ride. I have already paid entrance and have been on any ride a ton of times. Do I have favorites I would like to go on while there? Yes, but I will wait in line - 30-40 minutes. If line is longer, we walk away. We will be back. We have tried to get on Ride of the Resistance the last few trips because it's new. No luck. A little disappointed, but no big deal. Hopefully we will get on someday. This might be a ride I might be willing to pay for after trying many times and any subsequent new rides that I want to try.
We don't plan too much - about 50% of our trip. We change it up for various reasons, weather, etc. I feel like I have to read, study for a test before going to Disney now LOL - don't see smiley faces here to add.

Now we hear that we have to apply the day we are going for the genie . We we also to get up at 7 to get lightening pass. The is goes against how we vacation. It reminds me of rope dropping to get paper fast passes. But they were free. Many will not bother if they are cost money.

My husband is following the Genie+ program HARD. Me? Not at all. He is constantly providing me updates and frankly all I hear is the Charlie Brown Teacher Voice!!! Genie+ is just another ridiculous money grabber I refuse to support and to be honest, not having Fastpasses this past year and getting used to the VQ was really not that bad! I kindof liked going back old school, waiting in lines, talking to my family and strangers, so I am honestly OK not adding this into our "stress-free" vacation life.

I can’t wrap my head around it right now so am very grateful for someone else to figure it out. The hoops they are requiring us to jump through keep getting higher and set on fire. I really do wonder where this will all end. Is it wrong that I want this to fail spectacularly?

I have I intention of buying it . But I do not go for the rides . |

weird quote system here... but I don't think that it will disappear. I think lots of folks will buy it. I can certainly see using G+ for some days, but not others. I get up early anyway so I can drink my coffee and get awake before everyone else gets up and going, so we'll be able to get spots at the 7 am timeframe. I'm assuming this will basically mean that we get first shot at the early timeslots. Other than that, It sounds like it will work similar to FP+...except you can only get one at a time. |

I explained Genie to my husband and I think it is the last straw for him... He is trying to convince me to sell all of our points.  |

I could see me buying for a day here or there but I wouldn’t want to do it every day. That said, I’m afraid it will quickly get to the point where you’re all but forced to do it. I’ll reserve final judgement for now but I’m a skeptic.

annamaria I agree, the font IS teeny! But as I went to submit this comment, in the upper right of this box is a purple rectangle REPLY I hit in error and....a keyboard I can see!  Testing to see if works Font is now huge for your post as an FYI. There are internal browser settings that might be messing with it. Unfortunately all fonts are raised up to big levels without being too big on average. |
