Getting genie + for HS. My mother won't go on Rockin Roller Coaster. Can she pass her band over so someone can ride it twice? Or should I just not make her a genie + reservation for that ride?
I think this is going to be all fun and games until we eventually read about someone being ejected and trespassed from the parks for doing this. This technically violates Disney’s TOS and you never know when they might suddenly decide to enforce it, especially now that you are talking about a paid system versus the old free fastpass system. Do this at your peril in my opinion. If they caught someone doing this with a park admission (using someone else’s AP who wasn’t in the park that day for example to try to tap into the entrance turnstiles) they’d almost certainly eject them. This is now a paid system so I could see them doing something similar here. Otherwise you could also use this to get away with not purchasing Genie+ for everyone in your party.
Sure you’re getting an advantage. If some people only want to ride some rides and some others only want ot ride others then normally you would have had to buy genie+ for each of them but you are now describing a situation where you don’t have to do that. Or if someone is going to be in the park earlier and then trade-off (literally what has been described in this thread) then the same thing. Again, I’m not arguing this from a philosophical issue, I’m arguing this from a “this is a clear violation of Disney’s TOS and they could decide to expel and trespass you for it.” Fastpass+ was free, this is not. They have made clear in their words and actions that they care more about enforcing it now that it can effect their bottom line. Switch off magicbands to utilize genie+ at your own peril.But how? If you didn't purchase for everyone, it's not like anyone is riding more than one time per ride. I agree that it's not allowed, but at the same time, no one is getting an "advantage." This is as long as someone is IN the park. If not, it will not work and is for sure not allowed.

I have seen pictures pop up in the past when someone scans a band... This last trip I watched and never saw it, but that doesn't mean that their system isn't tracking this with facial recognition. While I doubt they kick you out... it might cause an issue on a future entry into the park.
I've only seen this when you tap into a park and the band isn't working.I have seen pictures pop up in the past when someone scans a band...

I know that both myself and my husband currently have photos attached to our MDE accounts, and all active magic bands or AP cards. Whenever we tap in at an attraction, our photos pop up on the screen. So, while you might currently get away with using someone else's magic band & genie+, you also might not. If the person happens to have a photo attached for any reason, you will likely be turned away at the LL tap in point for an attraction (unless you can provide your own band/card showing that you actually do have an active LL window). But I could definitely see Disney eventually attaching photo identification to all bands and cards, in order to prevent this sort of swapping.
How is it rationalizing dishonesty? What difference does it make if person A rides using their LL, or Person B takes their spot? One spot, one person in line. Of all the unfortunate things that happen and the 'hacks' that take place, someone using a LL pass for someone else is very low on the list. They've both bought admission and both bought Genie+. Disney's happy!Wrong example for children, I think. Easy to rationalize, small thing in the big picture of things, but wrong. Sad that Disney may have to add further checks to enforce honesty.
