this thread is giving them way too many ideas

Then right after they will have lightening lane for onsite only, unless they can charge offsite hotels to be a "good neighbor".
someone finally did it. someone finally perfectly described whats going on lolDisney is starting to feel like The North Pole when Jack Frost became Santa!
knowing Disney it will be every one of themHey, I might go for for buying a card to dedicated bathrooms throughout the property, LOL! Ones that are magically always clean and never have lines!
Once Genie+ and Lightning Lane has become a wild success, Disney will be motivated to have more microtransactions:
Access to the bathrooms
Charge to take the trams from the parking lots (staff will start parking cars from the back to the front)
A concierge service to book hard to obtain ADRs
Hotel rooms will only include the room, want bedsheets? Pillows? towels? Rental fee for those.
Pay to watch the TV in the hotel room
Pay to use the resort pools
Pay per ride like the old days, but now with dynamic pricing! Long standby line at 7DMT? Price goes up along with the price for a Lightning Lane pass!
Charge for onsite transportation
Digital badges for riding rides or paying for one of these microtransactions, show off how many times you have paid for Genie+! 100 times for Silver, 500 times for Gold, 1000 for the exclusive Platinum digital badge!
Pay for fireworks / shows, just like the after hours parties if you dont have a wristband you will be escorted out
Pay for the day shows like Indiana Jones, Frozen Ever After, Finding Nemo, etc - the best seats cost more
Standby seat, rent a portable chair so you can sit in the standby line
Pay for the best seat / area for the Cavalcade or Parades
Pay for drinking water
Pay to park at the parks even if you are staying onsite and paying to park there
Happy Birthday buttons, etc now cost $5 each
Park hopper early access, pay extra to park hop before 2pm
Upgraded Genie+ where you get to pick where you sit on the ride, no more requesting front row or back row for your favorite rollercoaster. You need to pay for that right
Lol, I could do this all night. Maybe I should email my ideas to Bob and Josh!
Great post and I can also assure you this is definitely true!!!... Disney makes decisions on what is good for Disney corporate's bottom line, not for guests. Never think they have your best interests in mind.
From my experience in the corporate world, there are teams of people whose only job is to find ways to maximize profits. I guarantee you they have already come up with things people have mentioned, and then some. As a friend of mine is fond of saying, "Never underestimate the greed of the Mouse."...
The bus one would’ve been super easy to implement if they’d just kept MagicBands…maybe they bring those back but it’s included for a fee and you just can’t decline it, like the resort fee. Uggghhhhhh.there are some great - and hilarious - suggestions throughout this thread. well done.
i think the bus and the app are really easy ones. especially the bus system. the idea that a guest can wake up and just step onto a bus without pulling their wallet out must be killing them.
