I find it very disappointing they kept everyone hanging on until 4 days before the change was due to happen.

I was expecting the day before or on the day. So 4 days gives me time to plan !

Apparently they are keeping things as-is:

Thanks so much!

The posts on page 1 have been updated to remove Aug 7th date and add the wording from the Disney website which indicates ILL$ are subject to change at any time, without notice.

Very happy to hear this. It would be too confusing to switch it back and forth, and surely they will need for the fall crowds.

Wonder if GOTG virtual queue will be removed soon

Glad to hear about the rides aren't going back to ILL - heading down in late August.

Are there any websites that have been regularly tracking for normal Genie+ rides how fast they have been going (such as at 11am here is the distributed time, at 12 etc.). I've seen general trend posts but wasn't sure if there was any site which is doing daily or detailed tracking on this. I know when we're going at end of August is likely to be a bit slower than the last couple months so hoping to be able to glean some recent data as we get closer.

ThrillData's been tracking when the LLs sell out for the day, and so you can find averages on their site, as well as the likelihood of some popping up again in later drops.

Is this being done to increase Park Hopper sales? It seems odd to have a hard limit of 2 ILL’s per da and then only have 1 ILL/park.

Sorry I’m so confused! So there will only be one ILL in each park and you can book it twice?

No, you can only book two, if you are hopping to a different park. There has only been one in each park for the last few months.

No, there's only one ILL$ in each park. You can book one for the park you have reserved, and if you have a hopper ticket you can book a 2nd one for another park you plan to hop to. Or, with a hopper ticket, you can book 2 ILL$ for 2 parks you haven't reserved but will hop to after you visit your reserved park.

Possibility. Only other reason I can think of would be to increase the Genie+ sales by keeping headliners on that list of attractions. If they can increase sales more on Genie+ by having less ILL than they can make on having the 4 extra attractions as ILL, then it makes sense to leave things as they are.

Personally, I'd prefer they go back to the 2 ILL attractions per park.

We have 2 rooms with 2 different My Disney Experience accounts & 2 different reservation numbers. We are linked. Can I buy Genie+ for everyone in the morning or will each room have to purchase for themselves?

As long as the guests in the other room are linked to you in your F&F list and they’ve given you permission in MDE to plan for them, you’ll be fine. Buying Genie+ isn’t linked to their room reservation.

I have caught wind that fast passes were going to be 'bought' now. Is this actually a thing that has been put in place or plans to be?

 

[Pyxie]

Yes it's definitely a thing. Look up Genie+.

 

[AmishGuy91]

Nope, Fast Passes are gone so you can't buy them.

Well if you're being technical lol. But Lightning Lanes are just rebranded fast passes that you purchase day of now. (I understand they aren't exactly the same, but they are basically the same thing and use the same lane.)

You have a lot of reading to do. Like just days and days of reading and studying. Good luck!
