Remy is not worth an hour wait. Honestly? I don't even think it's worth 1/2 hour. The entire right side of the screens were black for our entire party. When I closed my one eye, I could see the screen fully, so at first I thought it was just me until another member of my party mentioned it.
Early entry really is not a good perk. 1/2 hour early access and then half of each park is inaccessible funnelling everyone to the same attraction.
Guardians of the Galaxy is absolutely stunning. It is a masterpiece. I would have ridden it a hundred times. It is a super fun ride.
I enjoyed Extra Evening hours at both Epcot and MK. We didn't really do much at Epcot but we enjoyed getting to stay late and being able to sit on the bus home. MK we rode a ton.
MK is dangerous after fireworks. Someone rammed DH in the back of the legs repeatedly with their stroller, eventually completely knocking him over. They, of course, left without saying anything.
Genie+ and ILL are terrible. Honestly. I get paying money to not have to wait and I could be on board with it if it was treated like the Fast Pass system where it doesn't really impact "regular" guest experience. Genie+ and ILL are the reason wait times are so unbearable. At TSMM, our queue was trucking right along just fine when all of a sudden, there was an absolute influx of ILL guests and an announcement about "Andy's toys came to play so it would impact wait time." After that it was 5 steps, wait 5 minutes, 5 steps, wait 5 minutes on repeat until we finally got to the front. They let the family in front of us go, then about 50-75 from the lighting lane, then our family and then stopped the queue again.
It was like that for SDMT, FOP, and Remy too. We didn't even try ROTR because they didn't start the ride until park open (we rope dropped during early entry) and knew the ride would be a constant stop-go situation and the wait time would be longer than expected.
I get that those who use Genie + paid for a service, but I paid to be there too. Their experience should not be a negative impact on mine. We didn't even have a chance to set foot in a single shop in any of the parks because of the inflated time we had to wait in lines. It needs to go.
