We were just in line at MIB at universal and I was chatting with the lady behind us in line and she said the express pass at Universal was eye popping expensive and wished it was as cheap as Genie+The price of Genie+ needs to increase.

At universal you can basically walk on everyride so it's worth the cost. I don't think I have waited more than 10 minutes on any ride.We were just in line at MIB at universal and I was chatting with the lady behind us in line and she said the express pass at Universal was eye popping expensive and wished it was as cheap as Genie+
I've been known to throw out a "lurk, lurk, lurk" now and again. I ADORE the tiki room.Same here! Sometimes if I want a bit of Disney I'll pull up youtube and watch it there. And I'll say the lines at random moments. "Because of their claws? No! Because they're macaws!" "All this celebrating has angered the gods!"
You can limit how many are sold in a given day, though, which is the truly effective way to do it. Not all in one go in the morning, but dribbling out availability during the day. I think that resort guests should get a limited number of skip-the-line opportunities during a given day, which they can choose to use wherever they want.At universal you can basically walk on everyride so it's worth the cost.

For Genie+ I have rountinely waited 20-25 mintues+. They need to then out the herd so it feels like your getting your money's worth. I don't want to pay more but right now to many people are buying the service. The only way I can see around that is to raise prices. Do something like Universal, deluxe/ap/dvc guests get it free and the rest buy at a large premium.
Were the total oppostite, if there'a skip the like option I'm paying. I get one vacation a year and I'm not wasting it in line don't care what it costs.We don't do G+. It's just a matter of principle for us that we don't pay extra for shorter ride lines alone. (At Universal we'll pay to stay in the original 3 hotels because we like those hotels, but we don't buy Express Pass by itself.)
At this point there's no way any amusement parks are doing away with the skip the line pay option so I think that's off the table.t I had my wish, WDW would roll back to the electronic equivalent of the paper FP system; same rules, same (lack of) price
I'm sure they are still calculating what the maximum they can charge is before people say no thanks.The price of Genie+ needs to increase.
Pretty sure Marriott pays Disney for the perks.So why are they rewarding those staying at a non Disney resort?
I don't get this one. On what other attraction do you have that level of immersion? The ride itself is fun but no one promised a coaster.RoTR was such a let down. It was so hyped up before we visited in 2022, probably the reason we were underwhelmed (give me FOP any day). That said, I did enjoy walking around Galaxy's edge.
Those are some hot takes indeed and you are welcome to them. As for HoP, I think you are missing the point. A few years back, the movie they showed prior to revealing the presidents featured Andrew Johnson. He was polarizing to say the least, and basically held a kegger on the White House lawn on his inaugural. Yes, this was in the movie. The point was, it doesn't matter who is president, WE THE PEOPLE are what matters, and we are going to be OK no matter who holds the office. I too have been absolutely dismayed by the lack of respect shown, but that is the fault of the people showing the disrespect, and not Disney. Not updating the show would just be giving them what they want.Hall of Presidents should be retrospective only, like focus on a few less controversial presidents and not worry about updating it every election cycle other than adding the AA to the end. Before Bill Clinton I heard whenever they added the new president, they didn't say anything...no matter who is in office I think for the sanity of everyone they should go back to that. Something more like American Adventure or Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln where they don't feel like they have to change the show every 4-8 years.
Animal Kingdom should have been named something else, because now they're stuck with everything new having to be animal themed, or in the minds of a lot of Disney fans...BUT it also can't be the wrong kind of animal theme (no zootopia). I know a lot of people will disagree, but that's why it's a hot take
Also, Animal Kingdom could use more classic dark rides that are indoor, air conditioned. The only one we have is Na'vi River Journey (and there's no plot on that ride, it's pretty but that's it...as soon as something is about to happen, the ride is over)
Finding Nemo: The Musical - I never understood the appeal of seeing people visibly holding the fish at the same time and you're supposed to focus on the puppets themselves not the people holding them. I much prefer how they did the old Little Mermaid show at DHS where a lot of the people were wearing all black to blend in with the background. Again, just me, I know a lot of people like the Finding Nemo show.
I wouldn't be mad if they replaced the Pirates of the Caribbean at MK with the one from Shanghai. It's already a "cliffs notes" version of the one they have at Disneyland anyway.
Rock'n'Roller Coaster should feature a new artist every couple of years...Aerosmith is waaaaaaay past their prime. Or make it an Electric Mayhem rollercoaster.
Not that this makes any difference now, but Soarin' at Epcot should have had its own pavilion and not shoe-horned into The Land pavilion. When you realize the theaters are actually closer to the back of the Imagination Pavilion, they could have easily made an Aviation Pavilion closer to what DCA has in their queue

Thanks for the correction and, just to further the point - the USA survived that. No one person is bigger or more important than the country as a whole. It's not perfect and is not meant to be. You will never find a president that absolutely everybody agrees with and that is exactly as it is intended.Actually that was Andrew Jackson and if I recall correctly they completely left out his horrendous forced relocation of Native Americans aka "Trail of Tears"
One man's trash is another man's treasure, as they say. It's just not for us.I don't get this one. On what other attraction do you have that level of immersion? The ride itself is fun but no one promised a coaster.
I liked that too lol. But I loved and miss Food Rocks in Epcot.The best ever live action show at WDW was Tarzan Rocks.
That was always our Headliner at AK.
There's no contest when you're debating fish on sticks vs rollerblading monkeys.
