I really want to withhold my judgement on this until I see the list of attractions in
Genie+ and those that are LL. And what the LL price point will be.
Like many others here, I used MaxPass at
Disneyland and it worked really well for our family and our touring style.
The Genie+ idea seems to be a re-branded MaxPass and I am fine with that. $15 a day does add up, but perhaps still a manageable upgrade to maximize time in the parks - our family is willing to do this.
But will I even need to use LL beyond that?
If staying deluxe, I will have extra hours at MK and EP (if I time my dates right) ... with those limited crowds, I can likely do all the LL attractions as stand-by without an unreasonable wait time because of the limited access. Don't need LL for MK and EP.
I can wake at 7 and try for a ROTR boarding group - included with my park ticket, no extra change. If I get that BG, I may not need LL for HS ... depends on the list of LL attractions.
I don't see a work-around for Flight of Passage, though. So really AK would be a LL for me, unless i just wanted to do rope drop or end-of-day line mitigation strategies.
So i might just be looking at LL for one, possibly two parks.
Listen ... I totally think these extra charges for so many activities all over, all at once right now is such a bad look for Disney while the world is still in a pandemic. It's just ... a lot.
But it almost feels like Disney wants to rip the band-aid off quickly ... put all the new "upgrade" charges and changes in place at once, so all of our frustration is vented once and not over and over again with each release months apart.
