"Prices will vary by date, attraction and park. For example, the Lightning Lane entrance to Remy's Ratatouille Adventure will be $9 (USD) per person on October 19 and $11 (USD) per person on October 23. As another example, on both those dates, Lightning Lane entrance to Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain will be $7 (USD) per person, while Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will be $15 (USD) per person. Throughout the year, prices may be lower on some days and higher on other days. This option may be purchased at up to 2 different attractions each day."

Agreed. They showed this when they announced the pricing. They showed Tuesday prices and Saturday prices.

Sounds like daylight robbery to me..

Watching the vlogs today and yesterday we have already decided that genie plus would be a decent purchase at MK and HS once or twice. We will try to rope drop ROTR if standby available. The other parks we will just do what we normally do wait in line and arrive early. We might do one lightning lane if desperate for a ride on something we can’t get.
Anything we pay out extra just comes out of the initial budget. So rather than a sit down meal we will get quick service.
Instead of an eleven dollar beer 15 dollar cocktail we will get genie plus.

thats the thing. genie+ will come out of the food and spends budget if we need it. IAS just wont happen for us.

WDW have also stopped holding ROTR lightning lanes for non guests, so basically come 9am you will have no chance.

Translation…want to really enjoy Disney? Pay out and be a guest too, as if you don’t, the experience may be less magical €
$$. Seriously, f¥<k Disney

I’m not triggered. Your not happy, don’t go anymore. Simple. Let people who want to come on here to enjoy the planning get on with it without the moaning. No one is happy that we have to pay extra. No one is. But it’s the new system. Get on with it or move on.

You do realise the opening words of this thread are displeasure at the increase right? If you didn’t want to read the comments about others also showing displeasure (not seen any expressing positivity at this) , maybe you should vote with your feet and leave
