I didn’t have a chance to read through all the pages of this thread but I think I may be in the minority when I say I actually like the thought of being able to pay a little more for essentially a guaranteed ride on Rise of the Resistance when we visit in November.
My son is a huge Star Wars fan and the thought of NOT getting a boarding group on our DHS day makes me very nervous. The whole trip certainly wouldn’t be ruined if we didn’t get on it, but I for one would be bummed.
Now, granted, I understand my situation is drastically different from others, because:
- This is essentially a once in a lifetime trip for us (it’s a surprise trip, just the two of us, for his 13th birthday)
- There’s only two of us, so it’s only cost X 2 and not cost X 6
- Our last trip was in 2012, when he was 4, so he doesn’t remember any of it.
I completely understand peoples gripes with Genie, Genie +, and the added LL costs for AAA headliners, but for my plans this fall, it fits well.
