I don't think there are 3 separate lines, the Genie+ gives access to the lightning lanes, correct?
So just the 2, standby & lightning. |

That’s correct. It sounds like 3 but it is two lines. Standby or genie+ Lightning Lane on most attractions but on others it will standby and paid extra Lightning Lane. Complicate it more adding boarding group stand by lines for ROTR and Remy and paid Lightning Lanes

For me, the two main bonuses of the new system are the lack of any need to pick rides so far out, and the additional option for riding the ones with virtual queues. If I was staying offsite, I’d probably also like that my chances at getting FPs for the most popular rides weren’t reduced just because I was staying offsite (I say that as someone who stays onsite). I think Genie could be a useful tool for those who use it too

It's not gone live yet so we can't really say what will be positive and negative. Sure, paying for it is a negative, but we don't yet know whether it will actually be necessary to. If the standby queues are reasonable then why pay extra?

Or just a spontaneous person who doesn’t know exactly what they want to do on their holiday months in advance ?
I think anyone who was doing Disney pre the last fast pass can see an advantage , it’s all going to depend on the execution. Planners and spreadsheet lovers……..not so much ! |

Having visited WDW pre fastpass, paper fastpass and 60 day fastpass+ I much prefered fastpass+ plus as it allowed us as a family to ensure we all got a say beforehand in what we wanted to do without relying on luck/fortune on the day as to whether we could get on our favourite rides.
Its a negative financially for anyone who has visited in the last 15+ years and had access to some level of free fastpass. However if someone isnt a planner I would imagine that the impact will be much less than for people like us as planners as for us its a huge step backwards. Cant please everyone I guess, I hate it but others will embrace it as it suits them better. I think if Genie+ was included in the ticket price there would be a lot less of a backlash, but charging for something that large swathes of visitors will see as a major negative is brave/short-sighted/shareholder friendly/flexible/anti-customer etc etc ( will depend on your point of view). |

For me, nothing positive. Cost and the early rise. And before anyone says that I don’t have to use it, I know. But I like my day to be planned and I cannot queue for long.
