Rumored Changes to G+

[tigertides]

Nobody knows what changes are coming yet.

This could also be the best advice on Life ever written

Reminds me of my favorite quotes of all time:

Vin Scully, during Friday’s Cub-Dodger game: “Andre Dawson has a bruised knee and is listed as day-to-day. (Pause.) Aren’t we all?”

Absolutely....especially these days.

Kind of like the whole.....life is like a box of chocolates, thing!

I see this is the way you typically communicate on this forum and I just scroll, but why be rude? She rightfully quoted somebody who indicated there is knowledge out there. It is NOT up to anybody here to say who should and should not be involved in any conversation.

There was absolutely nothing rude about my question. I was seriously asking because I wanted to know. We're all clearly already aware that nobody knows what the changes will be; that's why we're here discussing the rumors.
If the rumors are true, which I grant that we don't know, otherwise they wouldn't be rumors, it will make an already overcomplicated system more complicated. If the rumors aren't true, then it won't.

I am very on the fence about this, but you make good points. The only part I really do not like is that we pay for a service that we are not guaranteed to get full benefit from. Paying $22 per person and then OOP for a ILL to get to select 2 - 3 rides really stinks. :/

Prebooking doesn't guarantee getting the full benefit from it either, on the contrary, it reduces capacity before you even enter the park.

Your comment:
" If you're not comfortable discussing rumors, why join in?"

Your initial comment indicated that there is knowledge. Nobody knows if a change is even coming after all and nobody on this forum has knowledge of what that is. Nobody knows if it will be more complicated or not, your comment assumed it will be. The person you quoted simply said none of us do, because we don't. You were being snarky. I've seen your comments over the years. This is how you talk to people. Your response was assuming and accusatory. It is just a forum. Have a great day.

This past January, after the first day of usage, I got nearly 5-6 lls each day. But it was during a slower time period and I was prepared. It worked for me, but it took one day for me too get it.

Latest reports are that they will wait until the new year. Jan 1st, 2025 is when the new 8 day lead-up hotel cancelation policy will begin. If Disney were to change G+ to be pre-bookable starting 7 days before your trip, the new 8 day no refund cancelation policy would stop people from making cancelable hotel reservations just to make G+ selections.

This makes sense. Price will be heading north.

I never understood this hack. If you book a hotel 7 days prior, and then cancel when you tap into a park... Doesn't the app/Disney IT realize your reservation is no longer linked to a WDW hotel? I would think your Genie+ bookings would automatically be cancelled.

You are giving Disney IT way too much credit. This "hack" worked for a very long time in the fastpass days when people booked throwaway hotel reservations to get the 60 day priority and then cancelled and got a refund. This hack also still works for restaurant reservations.

In theory it is actually a good idea, although I would like to see a change before my December trip.

They would need to revamp the system as it works today. Perhaps they are working on it, but I have my doubts.

People have done this for FP+ as well as dining for many years. It was even used to gain extra magicbands.
