Thanks for the report and well put. The theory of arriving for rope drop, taking a break in the afternoon, and staying late is being tested by
Genie+. We no longer think about doing rides like Space at night. Due to so many ride breakdowns during the day, there is an abundance of MEPs that need to be burned at night. It just kills the standby line and turns the lightning lane into the regular queue.
Genie+ is a gigantic fail and I want these execs to take their family to DL to experience the unpleasantness it is creating.
I was hoping Disney would just go the route of Knotts and Universal and make people really pay for front-of-the-line privileges. The price tag is so affordable everyone gets it. It's no different than the resort fee at a hotel. You are paying it regardless.
