The disclaimer is the right thing to do. But what a sad admission it is, as well as a commentary on the poor quality of a service offering.
Where are the Disney CMs? It seems that they should have been aware of this. All it takes is scanning the Pyramid every few mins. A lot of parents never watch their kids at the pools! Kids always go into the hot tubs with out adult supervision from my experiences.Child Climbs Pyramid at Coronado Springs Dig Site Pool, Rescued by Onlookers
A video uploaded to a Facebook group depicts a young child at the top of a decorative fountain being rescued by two swimmers next to the Dig Site Pool at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort.

They must have gotten a lot of complaints about Genie+ to create the pop up.
First the addition that on average guests can ride 2 to 3 rides with Genie+ and now this.
That doesn't surprise me. Disneyland is a local park. Locals are less likely to buy a product like Genie+, as they know there will be another visit soon. They know the rides, they can skip it more easily, or decide to wait in the standby line. There is less of a need to do it all.Disneyland doesn't have the 2 to 3 ride disclaimer.
Genie+/ILL is not part of any AP at either resort. APs do not get any discount on G+/ILL at either resort.That doesn't surprise me. Disneyland is a local park.

WDW is a more expensive vacation, for some a once-in-a-lifetime vacation, there is more need to 'do it all' or 'make sure you get your money's worth'.
Things like Genie+ work when there are not too many users.
Unless... Genie+ isn’t part of the AP, right? Maxpass was, but they didn't carryover that benefit with the introduction of Genie+?

You are a professional Disney visitor, you know what you are doing, the average visitor doesn't.Whenever I’ve used Genie+ out here, I easily get 5+ rides in at a minimum. (With a park hopper and only spending like 6-7hrs here) I’ve never gotten only 2-3 rides, so we don’t really need the disclaimer.
It definitely doesn’t work like MaxPass, but I still think it’s a pretty good deal if you don’t get to go often. I’m a MagicKey holder and a vlogger, so I got all the time. I’ve tested using both Genie+ and without and there’s definitely benefit to using it but you can still have a good time without it.
However, when I went to WDW, I was surprised at how FEW rides I was able to book per day. They definitely book up faster there and the 2-3 rides is a good disclaimer to have. I got it for MK one day and at opening Jungle Cruise wasn’t available to book until 7:30pm, sometimes later. I haven’t seen issues like that here yet.
It definitely needs some more tweaking.
My one major complaint at Disneyland is that it’s $20 and they make it sound like a great deal because it includes Photopass photos. But, if you’re a family of 5, you don’t each need a Photopass, so I don’t think that makes sense. I’d rather they charge $15 with a $5 add on for Photopass. This way just one person can get it.
That’s a lot of tap points! I love it! I hate getting stuck behind a bunch of people who don’t know how to tap in.
Disney has since sadly confirmed this to be true:
Baby Zebra tragically dies at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
Guests staying at Animal Kingdom lodge watched as Disney Cast Members tried to save the life of the baby zebra who ran head-first into a gate after being spooked by two ostriches that had just been released into the safari enclosure.
In an email to WESH a Disney spokesperson said: “We are heartbroken over the loss of our Hartmann’s mountain zebra that passed away yesterday, and we ask that you keep our dedicated animal care Cast Members in your thoughts.”
I haven’t counted recently but it used to be that the 2 parks in Anaheim had more rides than all 4 in Florida. I think that’s still the case.My guess is the price in Disneyland is higher because there are less rides (only 2 parks in comparison to 4)
i didn’t count them but google had 39 plus 18 rides at DL/CAand 52 for WDW.I haven’t counted recently but it used to be that the 2 parks in Anaheim had more rides than all 4 in Florida. I think that’s still the case.
