DHS is my favourite and I have after hours for that plus I'll probably go for rope drop another day and add a MP to ride everything pretty early hopefully. I had a trip where I struggled with Genie plus and wasn't sure if I wanted to go back but after I watched a few videos on how to get the most out of Genie Plus and that made a massive difference the next trip. See what what you think about going after watching some videos on the new methods and maybe only go to your favourite park(s).
Thanks sensible suggestions to consider. It is whilst I have been watching some of Knightstriders blogs this past few weeks that has made me think about my decision.

If you want something then those prepared to go out and get it should come first.. by being actually present in the park.
One could argue those willing to pay for it want it even more!

And therein lies the problem with any system that purposefully advantages one group over another. If you're willing to do that, and people are willing to accept it, then you may as well have the groups separated by who pays extra rather than some more nebulous thing like who gets to the park first. At least you make money that way.

Seriously, consider Disneyland. Yes the flight is a little longer (only an hour or so) but the whole experience is so relaxed - and the food is way better!

I wouldn’t disagree with that logic.

Having said that, rather than simply complain and return year on year, I did what many others do not do.
I never returned, finding pastures anew and many, what I consider, even better things to do.

Thank you all for your comments and I appreciate you taking your time to contribute. It has still left me undecided but if I am to take advantage of the offer from AttractionTickets matching price then I have to make up my mind this weekend.
