Hmm...would be an interesting thing to try. We're in the same situation. I'll be linked with my brother's family who are purchasing tix with Genie+ and I have an AP. My DH is linked to me but not them. We'll give that a try (but not until May) and report back if no one else tries it sooner.
My understanding is that yes, if you're all linked and have park tickets the same day, you will need to click through and select the ones you want.
I was also under the impression that "everyone" with a park reservation was automatically selected. Regardless, you are going to have a problem in those cases where everyone does want to ride together. The maximum allowable Genie+ or ILL$ group is 12 people.
Thank you. That’s good to know. I’m wondering if we change who we’re F&F daily based on who’s doing the same things that day if that would work. But that also sounds like a pain in the butt but I don’t want to mess with the deselecting every time, and I don’t want us to mess up each other’s Genie+ plans for those doing different things.
I could be wrong - was going from memory and screen shots. Others who are there now may correct me.
Yes, as in it worked the same as when you joined a virtual que. I'm almost positive it'll automatically check everyone that has a valid park reservation. I sure hope so, otherwise that's a lot of precious time to waste.
Wow, so it does not work like virtual ques did? You're having to click each person...that's pretty disappointing and is concerning for our upcoming trip. I swore I read that it did it automatically, but have not been back since Genie. Thanks all for the info.
You don't have to click each person each time. On my recent trip, once I got things set up, I was able to book LL's for my entire party together.
Can you tell me what you mean by getting things set up?
I believe that after selecting your party the 1st time you book an LL it defaults to everyone for future ones. Or there is a Select All button. But I am sure I did not have to click each person each time.
We were at WDW Feb 2-7. The first 2 days my whole party (lol, my dh) was already selected. My very first action on our third day was to buy a ILL fro ROTR, and after that I had to select dh each time for anything I did. My F&F group is about 8 people long. I have an icon assigned to dh but not to the others, so it was easy to select him quickly.
