I was given a red card at Disneyland in March, so they are still using that to track lines.
1. Complaints about wait time accuracy have been going on for years. They are not something that arrived with Genie+.
2. Usually the lines are shorter than what is reported on the sign.
3. Disney does manipulate the wait times near park close to help clear out the park.
The wait times aren't precise, but close enough in my opinion after many, many trips. There many factors that can influence a wait time. Ride goes down, show lets out, school group pulls in, the list goes on and on.
The more you fixate on wait times the more likely you are to be disappointed and have a bad trip.
