I honestly think Iger is considering killing Genie+. You shouldn’t have to think about spending money to ride something you just already spent money to ride. Other theme parks do it but that’s why they are “other” theme parks.

As a Walt Disney World Resort Guest, you get the privilege of waking up before sunrise to pay us $30 per person to pick a single attraction to ride. But not the actual attraction you want to ride, you'll have to pay another $20 for that one. See, the Magic® is waiting for you!

I never viewed FastPass+ as a free product. To me, it was an intrinsic part of the larger premium offering. One ticket price, tap that band, hear that chime and you can experience it all. Genie+ is a sleazy way to do business and frankly tarnishes the history of these parks.

I'm not suggesting the vaccine doesn't do what it is designed to do (which is keep people out of the hospital). What I am suggesting is that forcing vaccination on people is not going to stop cases from spreading. So let people make personal health decisions for themselves.

I am sorry for those who expected more of Disney here. I did too.

I wonder if Disney realizes that moving the hopping time at Walt Disney World to 11am would alleviate 95% of the issues with reservations. Most of us had our first park psuedo reserved anyways with FP+. 2pm is just too late. I like to spend my mornings at EPCOT.

It’s clear Disney is beginning to price people out of being able to afford long-standing family traditions. That’s a rough spot to be in and I’m not even sure what to say.

There’s a reason Disney built a visit any park you want, ride anything you want model with a single entry ticket. It wasn’t an accident. They chose to not charge for FP for a reason. Chapek just didn’t care.

I guess it's clear now that Disney did in fact "over earn" at their parks over the last few years and now the time to pay it back has come.
