Park hopping at any time available starting Jan 9

I’m guessing that MK is the park that most people are forking over the money for G+, so the demand on the system is higher.

Yeah…although, I think people are willing to wait for those in standby forever regardless??? Maybe that’s the reason they aren’t make tier 1?

I just don’t like having to pay all that money to only skip 1 tier one ride. Yes you could snag another but it’s not guaranteed. At least with FPP it was free. No tiers was my favorite part of G+

That may be intentional. I think Disney would likely rather sell fewer G+ at a higher cost than more at a lower cost.

But…my view on all of this has never changed. I wish they would eliminate any and all line-skipping systems. FP, FP+, G+…they can all just disappear. Then I’d be happy.

Any insight into how park hopping will work? And I the survey they mentioned that you couldn’t get a second tier one day of, even if there were any available. Do you know if that’s still the plan?

I’m not sure a lot of people will buy it at a higher cost with those kinds of restrictions.

Hey pal! Good to see you :slight_smile:

I’m glad the PH restriction is finally going away! Sadly it will be a few more years before we get to experience the glory of unrestricted park hopping.

Disney is going to have to find that balance, for sure. Thing is, the fewer the guests who actually pay for G+, the more value it brings to those who do!

That’s true, but not if you can’t use it for the biggest headliners (because those will be ILL) and you can only use it on one of three of the remaining headliners per day.

Good to see you too! Life’s been…interesting to say the least… But glad to be back, I have a trip to plan…

I would pass on Genie+ if I could only secure one Tier 1 LL for the entire day.

The blog has been keeping him busy (right Mike, right?)

Thanks! Have you heard anything new about booking LL’s prior to day-of?

I’ve not seen anything about how park hopping will work. My sense is that the dev team is overwhelmed with these changes right now.

Everything I’ve seen for advance booking of G+ shows:

  • 7 days ahead for on-site guests
  • 3 days ahead for everyone else (including APs without a hotel stay)

IIRC, the same-day drops were just as much a hedge against ride downtime as anything else.

Based on how unreliable rides are these days, I would expect those drops to continue.

It’s too bad they are going back to the select 3 with tiering and stuff. G+ wasn’t horrible - if they just left G+ as is but allowed the first one to be selected 7 days out rather than day of at 7 AM I think they may have had a winner.

Agree. I missed the whole FP+ era but it doesn’t sound appealing to me.

It was the best. I miss it so much.

I do like that it’s not 60 days out. I though is a little tight. I would much prefer 30 days for onsite, 7days for off-site.
I need onsite to have more benefits.
