'Disney Stars at Red Carpet Dreams' at Disney's Hollywood Studios has been removed from the Disney Genie+ Lightning Lane line-up at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Mickey and Minnie Starring in Red Carpet Dreams - Minnie Mouse set

The Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse meet and greet began offering Lightning Lane access via Disney Genie+ on March 11 2022 and was removed end of May 12 2022. We understand the Lightning Lane was causing operational challenges and the decision was made to revert to a single queue. The Olaf meet and greet remains available as a Genie+ selection.

Red Carpet Dreams reopened with Minnie Mouse in late November 2021 as indoor meet and greets returned to Walt Disney World.

Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage
Disney Junior Play & Dance!

Disney Genie+ is an option within the Disney Genie service that makes the former FastPass line available at select attractions, now called Lightning Lane. At Walt Disney World, the introductory pricing is $15 per ticket per day. Certain headline attractions are not part of Genie+, and Lightning Lane access at those attractions requires an Individual Attraction purchase which varies in prices.

So now that the changes to DAS have been announced, any idea on how far away we are from getting news about pre-booking G+ selections?

I think you are right. This is the new floor. Remember how low the prices were when it started

@tanc is talking about LL Bean's return policy that was changed a few years back.

aaronml7 days ago

What legendary return policy? Are you talking about for legacy paper FP many years ago? Or something else?

I’m curious to see if Genie- prices drop further to the old minimums or if these become the new “floor”.

If OP was referring to the mix ratio with the 80% figure, that determines how many LL guests pass through the merge point at any given time versus standby. There will still be the same number of guests who ultimately choose to experience the attraction via either standby or LL whether they let 20 LL guests through the merge point for every one standby or 50. If the suggestion is that 80% of a "popular" attraction's total guests throughout the day are LL guests, I don't know of any in which that is the case.

But the ratio of people that get on the ride via Standby or LL throughout a day (on average) must be the same ratio of people that get in the line...

Individual Lightning Lane price drops alongside lower Genie+ cost at Walt Disney World https://www.wdwmagic.com/other/disney-genie/news/08apr2024-individual-lightning-lane-price-drops-alongside-lower-genie-cost-at-walt-disney-world.htm

I believe the figures you are referring to are the mix ratios of LL vs standby guests at the merge point, which can fluctuate throughout the day. These ratios do not themselves determine the types of guests (Genie+ vs Standby) who will ultimately choose to get in line and experience a specific attraction.

It took me a very long time to parse this post because my brain stubbornly insisted on reading “LL” as “Lightning Lane” every time, which made me assume “bean” was some sort of typo, and I could not for the life of me figure out what you were trying to say. Thankfully it eventually clicked.

It’s been reported on this site and others that the LL entrance at any popular attraction accounts for 75-80% of that ride’s capacity because the LL is heavily favored. Having the other 20-25 percent scan at a separate entrance shouldn’t be much of an issue.

Brian9 days ago

It has been discussed several times already why that "solution" is wildly impractical. Don't believe me? Look at the LL entrance of any relatively popular attraction and you'll see clumps of guests struggling to get in because of various issues like finding and presenting their admission media, entitlements not being linked, and more. Now imagine every single guest in the park being forced to do that for each attraction.

This is insane. I have stated it several times. It’s extended waits that is a problem 9 times out of 10. Not a 15 minute wait for Little Mermaid

Disney really needs to come up with a system to prevent anyone with a DAS return time from standing in line for any other attraction. This would be easy to accomplish by having CMs scan tickets at the standby entrances.
