Also interesting that the first time it happened was at AK - where probably fewer people buy G+? Which, in turn, would suggest a lower threshold maybe for whatever the metric is?!
Edit: ignore this! I just saw the snip and assumed it was AK only! But selling out in every park raises other questions on metrics?!
G+ is a WDW-wide purchase - itās not park-specific. In practice, unless you have hoppers, your use of G+ will be limited to the park you have a reservation for - but the purchase is for all of WDW, and if you have hoppers you can use it anywhere.
Btw, you have the coolest forum avatar Iāve ever seen!
Itās not sold per park.
This seems to make a lot of sense.
I concur.
Ceasing sales of Genie+ is a guest-centric action, even if it is good for Disneyās bottom line long-term (by giving guests a better overall experience). So I applaud them for that, at least.
Sundayās actual CL data is in: A 9 overall, so very busy, but thereās been busier during Xmas week and 1st week of Jan.
Yes, interesting - I had always assumed it was linked to the reservation system so had quotas per park. Clearly not!
And thank you!! 
We saw no noticeable effect on the overall ability to get LLs (neither positive nor negative ā it was the same). We can say with certainty that our families want a significant percentage more LLs on busier CL days (and suspect our human park-goers are roughly the same as all human park-goers).
Knowing those two things (and assuming one), we view this as an Operational Decision.
I concur. Disney likely made a decision to impose a limit yesterday, where previously there was none.
Question in my mind was whether this was a one-off guest sat decision - perhaps in response to complaints received Friday due to rides being down - or the start of a new policy. If the latter, weāre likely to see sellouts again whenever demand reaches this level.
Could it also be setting the stage to increase the price again?
Jumping in at the bottom. I rarely pop into this thread since someone told me I am too negative about Genie 
But I did want to share a great resource that I found a little while back. It may have already been shared here and if so my apologies for repetitive info.
Ear Scouts updates his videos constantly to keep up with changes Disney makes to the product and such. His most recent video even made the dang thing look like FUN! Itās good information presented simply and with screen video demonstration for folks like me who are visual learners.
Not looking to step on the toes of those who keep this thread alive. Just offering another help for folks who wonāt take away as much just from reading.
SOOO helpful! Thank you!
This! We donāt hear much about Rob from Ear Scouts here, but his name comes up a lot on other sites as a go-to resource for the basics. He has a gentle, pleasant vibe that I think helps to demystify G+ās complexity.
Cool! Thanks for sharing!
Posting a link to a new Ear Scouts video, to help expand this thread to focus a bit more on the basics and visual learners, as @OBNurseNH helpfully pointed out. Itās 45 mins long, but I think it makes an excellent crash course on G+.
Key Takeaways:
- Spending time refreshing to get a desirable LL or earlier return time can pay dividends. Rob calls it āplaying the Genie slotsā
- On busy days, breaking into groups of 4 or less when playing the slots for headliner LLās is helpful
- Make booking G+ a team sport. One person doesnāt have to do it all. Let the morning person in the party book the 7AM LL, and let the video gamer in the party play the Genie slots.
- Disney turns off the LL booking system 30 mins before park close, so donāt bother looking for one after that
- For an extra edge in playing the slots for 1 specific ride, hop back and forth in MDE between the 1st and 2nd screens to refresh. Any time you see on the 2nd screen is ālockedā for you, and you donāt have to worry as much about someone else grabbing it first. Screenshots here
Unless that person is the only one that knows how phones work and is a control freak cough cough me cough
I watched his video on a booking for a large group on 12/30/22 and it was helpful!
Iām halfway through and I think itās a great video! Definitely worth watching. I think Molly had a similar video last year about the disney slots. This is what I used to do with FP+ so the method is familiar to me. Itās disturbingly addictive though, so Iād like to minimize it!
