It's good that you found a workaround, but I think this underscores the fundamental unfairness of the Advance Selections now that FastPass pre-selections have gone away, which a lot of people object to.
Let's say for the sake of argument that the 3 rides you like at HS are:
Slinky
Runaway Railway
Rockin Roller Coaster
As they are all unique to WDW
All are tier 1 rides and it can be difficult to get all 3 using
Genie+ (HS is notoriously bad like that), so even if people are willing to pay for premium access they will probably still have long waits in standby lines, and realistically might require 5+ hours in the park for just those 3 rides, and that's assuming that one gets Slinky on Genie+ at a reasonable time. It's not uncommon for there to be no tier 1 rides left by 2 hours after park open, or if there are not until late in the evening, so standby lines become a must. Alternatively a person can leisurely take the skyliner over, tap in, go back to spend the day in the pool, head to Epcot for a late lunch, leisurely head back to HS in the evening, and then book 1 day of
DAS while stacking their 2 advanced selections. In and out in 2 hours tops with a much more pleasant day all around. This is in no way an "equivalent" experience.
I don't begrudge anyone DAS who needs it. Heck, I love that DIS goes out of its way to be magical for everyone. But DAS in its current form is ripe for abuse, and the hypothetical example above shows just WHY someone might choose to abuse the system.
