By the time you can book the next one the more popular rides that you mention are then not available until 3-4pm in the afternoon as everyone else has booked them up. If you book the 3pm slot, by the time you can book the next one the rest of the top rides have gone for the day.

On a slow day you might get your moneys worth but at the moment Studios is probably pound for pound the busiest park.
Agreed, I've seen a few vlogs now of people that have only managed to get about 2/3 rides in at HS with Genie+ on a fairly busy day. MK is the only park that you can get you money worth. Epcot and AK doesn't really need it, and HS you can find yourself only being able to get a few rides.

He didn't say management - he said when he's met people who worked for Disney.

Disney CEO Bob Chapek Pulled from Destination D23 Appearance Out of Fear Disney Fans Would Boo Him

Imagineers, employees, influencers, travel companies and most importantly the fans are turning against BC. The petition is hitting 75000. Interesting days. Someone get Bob a Disney fridge to hide in.

That would be gold to see him booed off stage. Maybe they should do a survey? Unlucky bob this is what the consumers want.

I watched this a few days back. A couple of observations I made were...

- I'm guessing he started late, which is not ideal. From what I recall his first ride was Mickey & Minnie's with a 75-minute wait.

- He didn't seem to be aware of the 120-minute rule / stacking as he made a comment about how if he made a G+ reservation for 7pm, he'd not be able to make another one until then. Unless it was 5pm (and I think it was a lot earlier in the day than that), then he would have been able to make one before then.

I was slightly surprised that someone who, essentially, has a job involving theme parks wasn't aware of the latter point, although it probably just illustrates how complicated the whole thing is.

I spoken to Shawn many times over the years and his so against paying for Jumping the queue. If you watch his American vlogs his very excited about IOA at the start of the trip like even the day before his American trip he was at Alton Towers for 3 nights in a row watching the fireworks and I know his 28 but he must be knackered and he travels back today so be back in London tomorrow morning and his going to London’s Hyde Park Winter wonderland that afternoon/evening.
On this trip his done
Day 1 IOA
Day 2 MK
Day 3 Epcot
Day 4 DHS
Day 5 US/IOA night rides
Day 6 Sea World
Day 7 AK
Day 8 IAAPA event
Day 9 Resorts, different transport and the MK again.
I think I will give the Genie + a go but only on a day of day hopping.

I don’t think he started too late but he visited at a busy time and didn’t get there for rope drop. I find that I end up knowing more than most of these youtubers and they are suppose to be the experts, it’s clear he didn’t do any research into genie + before using it but it also shows how Disney don’t explain anything about stacking, so only those that research before hand will know about it.
