Thanks for sharing your experience with posted wait times vs. actual wait times at some of the headliners. Very interesting! I keep trying to put together my thoughts about the
Genie+ value (after waffling on my original thoughts)... and posts like yours are helpful. With this information as well as real-life examples shared by others, I'm just not seeing Genie+ coming down on the "value-add" side for me personally.
It seems that people are averaging about 3 Genie+ Lightning Lanes a day, and not all of them for good rides or at particularly convenient times. $60 per day for a family of 4 to ride 3 rides using LL, one of which is probably not that great a ride, and with ride times that may or may not be convenient... that just doesn't seem to be a very good value.
At this point, I'm leaning toward not purchasing G+ for my NYE trip for these reasons: MK has an Extended Evening Hours during our trip. My husband and I don't really care about rides all that much. My 17 year old has a couple of favorites (that she can get up and early entry rope drop if she wants to ride them that bad) and my 21 year old is a CM. I'll probably purchase ILL for ROTR, but that's probably about it.
Thanks again for sharing your experience.
