Why is that ridiculous? To me, if I pay for the LL and I have a time to ride and wait for my turn, I want to go in before anyone in the stand-by line. |
One is free, the other is not. |
This was our life for like ten years and it sucked for everyone. Sorry pp. |
Even that doesn't work anymore... you still have to wait in LL. |
You should always ask customer service and see about a refund. I was able to change a 2 day ticket to 1 day because we ended up at Disneyland on a race day (a charity 5K) and had no idea and it was all clogged and a giant mess and we had no idea. It was our first time there and we didn't know we should have checked some calendar. They were nice about it. |
G+ only allows one LL per ride per day. Also, popular rides “sell out” early in the morning. Ie: Slinky Dog passes are gone by 7:05am. But someone with DAS can get it any time of the day, by simply virtually waiting the current standby wait time. |
The passes fluctuate in availability - people will give up passes if they’re not going to get to the ride on time, or if they’re leaving the park, or just don’t want to ride anymore. You just have to keep checking. New passes pop up all the time. |
Don't worry, my kid with autism won't go on any of the popular rides, so you won't be waiting in the LL with her. |
I had absolutely no idea this was possible! I would love to skip the car designing at Test Track. |
With constant refreshing. With DAS, you just say I’d like to ride Rise of the Resistance and you show up 90 minutes later (or whatever.) You don’t have to wait for it to “pop up” and you don’t have to pay for it. |
This is very cast member dependent. We have been told no many times. |
My point is that they are IMO overselling Genie+, and making the experience suck for other people who also paid hundreds or thousands of dollars to be there (or just don’t have a LL for that particular ride). |
I’d like to see stats on how many people in lightning lanes are DAS vs genie +. I don’t think genie is the reason for the overcrowding. Maybe to fix DAS, they should make it so you can’t enter any other rides while you’re in “line” for your ride. |
According to this source 60% of the scans were from DAS and not Genie +. Demand for DAS exploded once the pay per use Genie + was introduced. I read somewhere else that with DAS you will have to wait 10 mins after scanning to book another return. With Genie + you can book another right away, if you can find one. https://insidethemagic.net/2024/04/disney-ends-inclusivity-das-ad1/ |
Right I get that - my point is that extra access has nothing to do with autism, IME. |
