Bob Chapek a los fans de Disney creo que nunca se nos va a olvidar tu nombre, pero no por lo bien que lo esta haciendo, viendo lo que ha pasado en París era cuestión de tiempo que lo anunciaran en Orlando.....

Tenemos que hacernos a la idea que Disney se esta convirtiendo en un lugar de visitantes VIP que pongan la tarjeta de crédito y ni miren lo que gastan, y si, se puede ir y no comprar los "FP" pero la experiencia tal y como la conocemos cambiara radicalmente ya que por lo menos yo, no estoy dispuesta a hacer 2 horas de cola en las atracciones, para mi hay un antes y un después.

Sgún las nuevas informaciones que van saliendo, habrá 4 posibles maneras de acceder a las atracciones:

INCLUIDO CON LA ENTRADA:
1-Cola presencial de toda la vida.
2-Cola virtual (estrenada con la pandemia).

NO INCLUIDO, CON GENIE+ (15$ al día)
3-Lightning Lane (Tipo fastpass para CASI todas las atracciones, reserva a través de la app).
4-Lightning Lane+ de pago EXTRA, para ciertas atracciones(pocas) y máx. 2 al día.

Dicen que la app Genie+ contará con IA que dirigirá a la gente por los parques optimizando colas y haciendo de la visita una mayor experiencia (?¿?¿?¿).

Personalmente hay que probarlo, pero podían habernos dado 1-2 años sin cargo monetario alguno para convencer a la gente sobre la implantación de este nuevo sistema.

FAQ sobre Genie:(en inglés).

1. What is Disney Genie?
Disney Genie is a new digital service that is part of the My Disney Experience app available at no additional cost. The service is designed to plan your day at the Walt Disney World theme parks, including a personalized itinerary that maps out the entire day based on your preferences. Disney Genie will display current AND forecasted future wait times.

Disney Genie+ is an option within the Disney Genie service that makes the former FastPass line available at select attractions, now called Lightning Lane. At Walt Disney World, the introductory pricing is $15 per ticket per day.

Attractions not included as part of Genie+, such as Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, will require an individual attraction purchase for access into the Lightning Lane.

We have heard reliable speculation that puts pricing between $4 and $24 depending on date, attraction and demand.

Lo que está claro es que todo se está encareciendo cada vez más y dan pocos o ningún beneficio. Esto es un negocio y tiene que recuperar el dinero perdido por la pandemia , eso está claro como el día.
Habrá que esperar a ver que tal funciona todo esto del Genie.
Pero todo esto ha llegado para quedarse amenos que sea una debacle para el negocio que lo dudo porque somos unos locos de los parques y siempre tenemos ganas de ir .
