Maybe ya'll already know this....
My DD24 used
Genie+ last Friday at the Studios. I micromanaged from KY. At 7am, we got a SDD LL and RISE LL$. We took the first times offered and both LLs were around 4-5 pm. Seemed late but whatever, it was our first time using Genie+. After we made the LLs, there were way earlier times listed on the Tip Board. We wished we hadn't been so hasty.
DD24 went to AK on Saturday. She planned to leave the park at 2pm and wanted a FoP LL$. Her 7am try had a return time of 5pm, her plane leaves at 4:45pm. She refreshed, refreshed, got a return time of 7:55am. Not good because she was in the FoP queue and wanted the LL$ for later. Refreshed and got a return time of 10pm but it was really 2pm when her selection finalized.
She canceled that selection then Genie + gave her hour increment times to select from. That was nice. She picked 10am and got a return time of 10:20.
