They will refund dollars now? I thought you only got credits for future travel?

It’s just credit.

 

[LSUmiss]

They refunded my points back completely and they refunded the dollar amount difference to be used on my next flight. I did not see an expiration date on that so I would have to check.

There is an expiration. It’s usually a year from when you bought the flight.

For the love of Mickey just TELL US HOW MUCH THE INDIVIDUAL LL PASSES WILL BE.

Thinking it will vary each day (hour?) depending how busy the parks/standby lines are. Though still really want to know what they are thinking pricing-wise.

I'm placing my bets on that Sept. 23rd date! I feel think this gives us a great indication... right before the 50th... with a bit of breathing room to work out the kinks.

I agree. I'm really hoping for sometime in the next 2 weeks. I've been hearing rumors about October 15th, but that seems ridiculously stupid to wait until after the storm calms down after the 50th.

Didn’t they give a range ? I feel like I read it would be basically demand pricing and it gave a range from 12 to ? . Ugh I’ve read so much speculation and actual info that it’s all running together. I do remember being worried about the idea of demand pricing and how high it could go .

I’ve never ridden RotR, so I was really looking forward to this. Now, if I have to wait in line for 3 hours, that’s a big nope.

Disney is really making me mad at this point.

"Pause" is an interesting word to use...

I think they might be doing some testing on queue capacity. Supposedly, they have had a lot of days lately where the VQ didn't run out until an hour or more after the release. It's supposedly been available for standby closer to closing. Crowds have been incredibly light. However, crowds will be high the week after the start of this.

They never gave any official word on how much rides would cost. The speculation has been that it'll be a range, but the speculators do not all agree on what the minimum and maximum prices will be.

So do you buy the extra rides day of?

So do you buy the extra rides day of?

Everything associated with Genie+ and the individual attractions (extra rides) is done day of whenever the system launches. Purchasing Genie+ is done day of and is available beginning at midnight. Everyone can use Genie+ to make a ride selection at 7am day of, Resort Guests can make both of their IA (extra ride) selections at 7am. Non-Resort guests can’t make the IA selections until park opening.

So if you have a multi-day stay, you have to buy it every night at midnight for the next day?

That’s my understanding of the system from what the outlets have posted before it officially goes live but you can buy it at any point after midnight, so if you got up before 7 you can buy it then and then make your selections at 7.

Yes, all selections are made day-of only/

Happy Friday. Still waiting on news for street actors returning and Hoop Dee Doo. If betting on launch of Genie+, I would bet 2nd week of October.

Still hoping for HDDR here too.

Also, would love to see the return of some character meals. Even if the contact is reduced. My daughters' are hoping for Lilo & Stick at Ohana, Winnie the Pooh characters as Crystal Palace, and the Tremaines at 1900 PF in particular.
