As much as I have even posted in this thread myself, that may be the best and most thought out post so far. Bravo.
Sounds like it might be a good thing. as with any Disney change we'll have to give it time to get the bugs out. A drink at the pool bar is now $15.00 so the price of the fast pass type option is really insignificant. I guess I'm in the give it a chance and see what happens group.Let’s have the conversation here instead of the AP coming back thread.
So totally separate lines?G+ does not allow access to IAS, so their LL’s will be exclusive (other than perhaps DAS, recovery compensation, etc.-don’t know how those work)
I'm wondering whether the LL is the same line for the Genie + and the ala carte purchases? Will these folks all be in that same old FP+ line? Seems like the individual purchase people should be in their own line.
I guess I'm still confused as to how they can use the same line. Is it because the times will be different? Might they overlap somehow?Since the rides that are IAS won’t be part of GP+, there won’t need to be a different line.
All will use the old FP…the LL.. to enter the ride.

Oh, okay, it took me a minute to get it through my brain. The GP+ rides will use old FP+ entrances. The IAS rides are going to be for certain rides, not GP+ rides. I got that now. But what about Boarding Groups for the two IAS rides mentioned, ROR and R? Will one say Boarding Groups and the other IAS?Because the rides with IAS won’t be part of GP+. So there will be no one with GP+ access.
Is a drink at the pool bar the what we should use as a measure?? So if we need dental floss and the gift shop only charges $12.50 we should be pleased??Sounds like it might be a good thing. as with any Disney change we'll have to give it time to get the bugs out.

Yes, and if you are more careful packing your toiletries going forward, you can use that floss money for Genie+.Is a drink at the pool bar the what we should use as a measure?? So if we need dental floss and the gift shop only charges $12.50 we should be pleased??
I will try to remember that.Yes, and if you are more careful packing your toiletries going forward, you can use that floss money for Genie+.
Problem solved!
Does rotr just have the one queue line set up only? I’d imagine if it already has two lines or ability to do two lines, boarding groups could use the normal standby lines and the purchases could use the LL line?Oh, okay, it took me a minute to get it through my brain.

if not maybe the LL purchase just gets you into a boarding group?

Absolutely not.We usually travel as a party of 4. Over the course of a week long stay, safe to assume we don't usually buy 28 pool drinks.
Genie+ will be as good or as bad as Disney chooses to make it. They have full control over return times. Disney can allocate enough LL capacity so that return times average 45 minutes after obtaining a pass. Or they can make the return time 3+ hours. Or somewhere in between.
The better Genie+ is, the more subscriptions they will sell. And the worse the experience will be for guests who don't buy G+, relying only on their $120 daily theme park ticket.
Is there any reason to believe that Disney will keep its greed in check and give consideration to the experience of guests who do not buy G+?
