Genie - Initial Impressions

I know. They really need to sort out its reliability.

I just realised you’re talking about G+. I was talking about ILL$.

Why is there no standby option for Turtle Talk??

It’s sounding like the wait times are the same, more or less. It’s certainly possible that will shift and non ILL will offer more times/longer waits.

There is a standby line for Turtle talk showing for me now. Their picture was from this morning at 7:59am and it wasn’t open yet.

It shows as “Not Currently Available” for me, too. I just now opened the app and went to Turtle Talk. It has LL, but not allowing standby. Odd.

ETA: In fact, all of the EP attractions say that for their standby lines.

ETA2: And now they’re back. I changed parks to MK (it looked ok) then back to EP - and standby lines were now available.

Not sure why you aren’t seeing what I see.
None of the rides show unavailable on the app for me. Weird!
And I am west coast, it is actually noon in Orlando.

I’m just chalking it up to Disney IT glitches, and it’s Tuesday, and it’s the first day of Genie.
I’m in Central Time Zone, I don’t think Genie cares about time zones.

All the info coming out today has made me want to purchase G+ for my family. Knowing that we can get on our favorites without waiting (with 3 little kids) is worth the money for us. It’s hard for us to be in a line longer than 20-30 mins. I totally get that others aren’t willing/able, though.

Our opinion may change in the future when our kids are a little older - for now we’d only be purchasing for the people over 2 which is 3/5 of us. $45/day vs $75/day is a big difference.

Agree, good to see how it works but the real info will be once it’s just regular guest using it.

You can… But you have to do it through the old mobile order system on the main page. The Genie section will only give you the next available window.

Just saw this in chat. Someone has a paid LL sdmt at noon then MMRR at 6 pm.

Curious if it works for not paid.

Can anyone clarify which rides have no standby line at all right now?

Noticing some of the return times are within the next 10 minutes or so. I guess I wish that, if the availability is there within say the next 10 minutes, they would allow you to book a re-ride in that short window. I mean if it’s available, then why let it go unused at that point? Oh well.

Only Remy. Everything else has Standby.

And even Remy boarding groups were supposedly open for close to 5 minutes this morning.

Translation: If you’re going to get ILL, prepare for a lot of pain. Have patience, because the pain won’t subside. But it’s all worth it because you are considered “My main guy”. #WeAreTheForce
