    Thank you so much, Josh! We put it up on our tv and it looked like a professional Disney video. It was very organized and detailed, and it felt easier to understand. We appreciate this!

  • @IsabelleGaumont
    @IsabelleGaumont Před 2 lety +17

    When you can only visit Disney World once a year and you want to ride every ride during your short trip, but you have people in your party who can't wait in line for two hours, this is essential. I really appreciate the help!

  • @stacythompson5795
    @stacythompson5795 Před 2 lety +43

    Thank you Josh for working so very hard on this informational video. It is much appreciated because I feel the pressure to figure this out for my family before our trip coming up. The visuals you have provided makes it so much easier to understand than having just verbally been told in the vlogs. You have knocked it out of the park again Josh!

    The background music absolutely owns me! Takes me back to elementary school in the early 80s! Thank you so much, Josh, for all of your hard work. This will be invaluable on my 2-week trip in April.

    Thank you very much, Josh. We are from Germany and will visit WDW in June for celebrate my 50. birthday. You helped us very much to make our holidays better.

    This is exactly what I was looking for! The visuals are amazing! You’ve helped me to completely understand how Genie+ works. Thank you for going through it step by step. I’ve already gone in a chose my preferences for my park days. I feel a lot more confident about booking those genie+ lanes than I did before watching this. I appreciate all the hard work you put into this, it’s definitely helpful! Looking forward to trying this out in May. Thank you again!!!

  • @RobFuz
    @RobFuz Před 2 lety +6

    Thank you very much for your points. I hope Disney will change this method as it's making our trip to Disney quite stressful instead of joyful.

  • @davidgaston7334
    @davidgaston7334 Před 2 lety +34

    This is sure to be a great informative video.
    But the fact that it's needed shows how far from grace Disney has fallen.
    I feel for the elderly or those unable to use technology or keep up with the apps and phones. My Grandpa, even with this video probably wouldn't be able to figure it out. Its a totally unfair system to those people.

    • @LowTide941
      @LowTide941 Před 2 lety +2

    Thanks Josh! Great video and information! We were at WDW Feb 13-17. My daughter took care of Genie+ and scheduling, but I understand it better now. We would not have been able to do as many rides particularly at MK without it. And I was able to ride SDD at HS for the first time! So much fun. I will be re-watching this video before our next trip.

  • @sharonkolenick3890
    @sharonkolenick3890 Před 2 lety +1

    Great job! Most importantly is that you do not get the exact time it says.. For example,, I chose 11:00 AM for Ratatouille and got 7:30 PM. I would also like to add that each park has people under a blue umbrella that can help you. They were a big help ! We were there 3 weeks ago and used the verbal hints that you gave on your live streams. Thanks so much.

    • @ResortTV1
      @ResortTV1  Před 2 lety +1

      That’s a great tip. They don’t reserve the times for you. They need to fix that. It’s insanely frustrating.

    @zfree1017 Před 2 lety

  • @aLy0op
    @aLy0op Před 2 lety +1

    I wanted to say thank you for this and it's great. My one feedback I would give is that the best part about this is that it's a step by step guide with full screen sharing and I would highlight that in your title or in the description because that's what I found most helpful! I've seen a bunch of videos from others explaining the differences etc but yours takes it 1 step at a time and visually SO helpful so that might help others when they are searching for videos about it! "Step by step guide with screen share" or something ☺️

  • @charliefoster9766
    @charliefoster9766 Před 2 lety +1

    Josh…How were you able to stack 5 rides at Hollywood Studios using Genie+? What am I missing? As a resort guest, at 7am you can book your first one, lets say that’s Toy Story Mania at 5pm. Now you have to wait until 2 hours after the park opens to make your second reservation. For this example, HWS opens at 8:30am, that means I can book my second reservation at 10:30am. Let’s say I get that one for 5:30pm. Moving forward I have to wait 120 minutes after each reservation, so if I continue to stack my rides, I have to wait until 12:30pm, 2:30pm and 4:30pm, that’s how I potentially can stack 5 rides. Is this how you did it, or were you able to do it sooner? Please let me know.
    Thanks!

  • @GoodKnightErrant

    The app proved itself for our family of seven. We were better able to secure rides for each section of the park instead of having to run from one side of the park to another.

  • @zalonemier
    @zalonemier Před 2 lety

    Great video instruction Josh!!!! This was so helpful for me and my sister when we went last week. You were very thorough and detailed. We did have problems with Genie plus because it wouldn't let us book another ride after our reserved ride but only at the two-hour mark instead. And we made sure to scan our magic bands twice in every line that we had a genie plus for. Hollywood Studios reimbursed us for our Genie plus and still gave us rides anytime during the day for our issues. It helped that I took lots of screenshots. The app just seems glitchy and they need to do a lot of work and it's not fun looking at your phone all day and setting an alarm every 2 hours to reserve rides. I'm not the biggest fan of this new process. LOL! 😉

  • @andreacooney9294
    @andreacooney9294 Před rokem +1
