    The Genie Usage, Tips and Strategy ONLY Thread

    Did you mean you were only able to book one Genie+ all day? Just want to make sure I understood. If so, that's concerning considering you were at rope drop.😬

    Oh my, you are right. I double checked and his phone is a 6S. Guess he'll be bounced out of MDE on the next update! lol. Annoying since we too are fine with our phones for everything else. Hope you can find something reasonable before your trip!

    My DH has an iPhone 6 and he was able to install and run the App just a few days ago. He says it works fine. Is it not letting you open MDE at all? Or is there a particular function not working for you within the App? I have an iPhone 7 Plus and we are planning to get new phones before our trip...

    MaxPass at Disneyland worked like this, but so much better, IMO. You could choose a return hour from a selection of many hours, depending on whether the attraction had that much availability. Towards the end of the day, you'd maybe see only one hour listed. You could then choose the hour return...

    It is a terrible bait and switch, IMO. When this happened to me in DLR with my Space Mtn Genie+ reservation, I first backed out of the screen that shot my return window ahead hours and saw that the 7:30pm window was still available on the selection screen. So I choose it again. But again, the...

    Disney Store Permanently Closed 2020

    We have a Disney Store Outlet about a 20 minutes away. It's huge and always packed. The prices can be cheaper (the clearance is incredible!) but mostly prices are similar to the original Disney Store. They have a huge assortment of toys and costumes for the kids, plus some clothing for adults...

    Bookmarked this for our trip this summer! Thank you for such a great layout of how to both navigate MK and how to book/stack Genie+ selections! Care to offer similar advice on the other Parks? You've got a great straightforward no nonsense way of presenting the information. Love it. 😍

    Park Reservations - Why 2PM?

    Yes, Disneyland uses 1pm for park hopping, and that felt too long for us. 2pm is going to feel like forever. Thumbs down from me.

    In general, is there typical push forward time for WDW? The same was true for DL. However the swing for the major and most coveted attractions would often bump you HOURS later than the time you thought you were snagging. As an example, I clicked on Space Mtn for a 7:30-8:30pm window and got a...

    Any news on MNSSHP?

    Yep. It was May 7th last year.

    Can someone clarify how many stops the bus makes from BWV/BWI to MK? And how long (approx) it takes to get to MK on average?

    Clarifying Genie+ vs ILL bookings

    I agree! One day during our last trip in March, DH and I split up at rope drop. He took DD to Fantasyland and I took DS to some of the bigger thrill rides at DL. We met up for a late breakfast 2 hours later. They had done 11 rides (everything in FL with many re-rides) and we had done 4! Most of...

    Thank you so much for explaining the current situation thing! I was getting completely confused reading on Disney World's website as to why the language only ever said "you can book your FIRST ILL"...because we will be traveling after August 7th when there will again be two ILLs in some parks. I...

    Quick Questions: 1. Can a resort guest book both ILLs at 7am? Or just one? And if only one, when can I book my final ILL? 2. Can a resort guest who books a Genie+ at 7am continue to book additional selections (after the two hour mark) WITHOUT having entered a park yet? Sometimes the kids are...

    Clarifying Genie+ vs ILL bookings

    I get it! My 6 year old is a no to both those rides too. :) In that case, I still would head directly for the Pier BUT don't book Midway Mania as a Genie+ attraction. You could probably walk on to Midway at least 2-3 times (if he likes that ride) and still have time to proceed around the rest...

    Clarifying Genie+ vs ILL bookings

    You can only book two ILLs a day. For DL there's only one option, DCA has two. Yes, you can book them immediately after scanning in. And yes, you can book your first Genie+ at that time. You are correct, timing can be an issue. I'll give you my thoughts on maneuvering a rope drop. For DCA...

    Genie Plus - Experiences and Reviews

    I'd love to believe it, but I doubt it. Our experience in March was the that DL App was completely worthless. Worthless because it was wrong almost 99% of the time. Not the CM's fault. If you walked over and looked at the posted wait time next to the attraction, it was correct. Problem was the...

    Individual Attraction Selections

    Thought of one more question on this topic, especially because I'm more familiar with DL where no one can make ILL/Genie+ selections before officially entering a park for the day... So I can make my "first" ILL and Genie+ selection at 7am if I'm a resort guest, but what about a second ILL or...
