Chris I think that message was meant just for me. I’ve been planning our family trip to Disney in late August since January. All these closures, price increases, and changes have had me feeling disheartened. Call back times on LLMP look much longer than on original Genie+, almost as though they’re throttling them. We’re bringing our 3 kids and every day, I find myself mindlessly worrying that the parks will be slammed, that we won’t get on many rides, even with LLMP, that the kids will complain, that we’ll argue. But you’re so right, and your message hit me square in the heart. It’s about the memories and the time and the experience. Not the number of rides or the crowds or the worries. Thanks for the perspective, as always. Your videos are so much more than park tips and I appreciate everything you do! ❤

I agree 100% with you, Chris - I wish the parents would take it easy, have a relaxing day with their kids, stop and even let the kids NAP in a shady spot or inside the Starbucks at DCA or something. Make sure everyone eats and drinks so no one is hangry, etc. -- Make it as stressless a day as possible.

This was a sneaky way for Disney to increase the cost of the tickets but on the back end.... they took a free service and charge $30 for it fundamentally changing the full ticket price by $30.

I was at the park in July and I used genie+. A few of the things that you said were not my experience. For example, I don’t believe you can use the multi experience passes in fantasy land at all. At least that is what the cast member at Alice told me. He said they changed that policy two years ago. Also, I recommend booking lightning lanes early once you see that the return time is after 10 AM. Because you can go on the app and push the time back. But you can book your next one two hours after the original Booking. For example, say it is 8:30 AM and you look at the app and the return time for Indiana Jones is at 10 o’clock. Go ahead and book it. Then at 9:55 you can push it back to the new return time, say at 1 PM. You can still book your next lightning lane two hours after the original booking so at 10:30 AM. I did this quite a lot. It ended up stacking my lightning lines for later in the day by pushing the times back again and again. They did not seem to penalize me for this.

A pro tip I picked up from Molly from All Ears. Select your favorite attractions in advance. This will cut down on the scrolling part when you select your next LL. It's easier to scroll through 8 rides as opposed to all the rides. You will still have access to all the rides, but for the ones that go quick it will give you an edge in securing that LL.

Don't fret, my wife and I go every year for our anniversary. We don't waste money on that Lightning Lane/Genie + garbage. Just enjoy your time there like you used to, get in to the standby queues and wait your turn. Yes, the LL slows down the Standby queue, but I REFUSE to pay Disney even MORE money when the price to get through the gate is already through the roof and the cost of food and souvenirs are super high as well. I've yet to have a trip down there where I wasn't able to ride all the rides I wanted to except once, but that wasn't due to the line, it was due to the ride breaking down multiple times while we were visiting (Rise of the Resistance).

Hey Chris, really appreciate what you do, I’ve been a fan for a long time on my other account and just started following you on this new account I created. I did want to chime in though on something you mentioned in the video. The multi experience pass is not a guarantee when a ride breaks down and you have a lightning lane booked. I work for the resort in the online support department and this has become an issue lately due to videos such as this telling people to book a down attraction. The multi experience pass is going to be issued automatically by the attraction if you’re eligible for it if you do not get it auto generated and reach out the cast members check the history to see if you booked your lightning lane when the attraction was down or if you booked it while it was active, and that can determine whether you are provided a multi experience pass. Again, I love your videos. I think what you do is great. All of your information is usually spot on however, this particular situation has become an issue and they are cracking down on who they are issuing this too so just be advised you are not guaranteed a multi experience pass if you try to work the system 14:47
@Adam-gm6of4 ай бұрын
One thing I wish you would explain is you get all your pictures with the LLMP. Not your just your ride photos but any pictures you take by a cast member. So if you have a family of 4 I think it's worth getting LLMP for one person just for the photos and make that your picture day. Wait in line in front of the castle, down on Main Street, or my favorite spot in front of the Falcon. Have you matching shirts, or all Disney bound up, I'm a single and I've done it just for the pics itself. I usual bound for Batuu and have so much fun with it.

Couldn't agree with you more. I HATE the Genie +/Lightning Lane garbage. The ONLY iteration of this that I liked was the old Fast Pass system where there was a limited number of Fast Passes. You rushed to the Fast Pass station you wanted to get one for, then spent the rest of the day getting in the standby queue with everyone else until your Fast Pass window came open. This extra greed focused Lightning Lane garbage needs to go. It slows Standby down to a CRAWL and even the LL queue backs up and can take a long time to get through. Just ridiculous.

Disney World’s is so much better than Disneyland’s with the new LL thing. As with everything else they do when it comes to reservations, security check, etc. Hey Disneyland-- TAKE NOTES! Molly of Mammoth Club showed that in WDW you can hold 3 LL at any given time (1 Tier 1 ride, 2 Tier 2 rides). Once you scan into the first one you can immediately get another one - No time wait! Also you can shift the times around a at any time. So as she point out, get the rides you most want as soon as you can and don’t worry about the time because you probably will have the chance to change it later - OR trade it out for a different ride all together! So much better than Disneyland ….

last oct we did genie+ and didn't use it this year were not sure we are going to buy it.

As far as I know (from other KZbinr), yes!

Are the photos around the park that the cast member photographers take also included like they were with genie plus?

Everyone, it sounds like more than it is. I use the service every time I go with just adults and I have fun. Chris, can you still try for an earlier time on a LL reservation?

Do you recommend arriving to the park early and once it is opened, go immediately to the Start Wars: Rise of the Resistance or Radiator Springs Racers, and avoid paying the LL Single Pass?

Question, in your example of space mountain going down and getting a multi pass instead. Do you get the multi pass and still retain your ability to book space mountain? Or are you done with your one time use booking of space mountain?

I think a lot of comments saying how it's too expensive & they won't be paying for it don't realize that maybe that's the point? I think Disney is trying to find that sweet spot where enough people will buy the service to make them money, but not so many people will buy the service to the point where it makes it pointless i.e. lightning lanes as long as normal lines usually are, and normal lines shafted even worse. If anything, this should make lines flow much better because ideally less people would be purchasing lightning lane tickets. Although I heard that they capped the amount they sell? I'm not sure if that's true. Certainly when it was $20 it seemed the the majority of people thought adding it on was a no-brainer and the lines were crazy on Genie+ a lot of the time

So basically LLMP is the same as Genie+? Is that what I'm understanding from this? 😅

Dropping a thank you for clarifying right up front that this doesn’t apply to WDW.

My biggest takeaway is this: Turn your Disneyland app location on all the time. If you ever get lost Disneyland can find you. They know when you're not in the park like in the esplanade between Disneyland and DCA, and when you have stepped one foot into the park. The more you know!

I purchased my disney hotel and park ticket package with genie plus. My guess is it will automatically grant me to the new system since I purchased before the change? We visit mid September 🤗

I don't mind waiting in line. For me, the best value of the Lightning Lane is the free photos, which were only mentioned briefly in this video. Only one person in your party needs to have Lightning Lane to get free photos, which could include the entire party. If everyone would skip buying Lightning Lane the lines would be less for everyone, so I would encourage people to not buy this service unless you are only at the park for one or two days, but I have a family of six, so I can't afford it anyway.

3:45 Me: *I'M* the planning mom to a family of 4... 🧑🧑🧒🧒 🤣 18:45 Now you got me misty eyed again. I'm really reminding myself of that more and more as the trip gets closer and my planning is *mostly* done.
