    “We fear change” - Wayne Campbell

    With Lightning Lane Multipass (™) set to go live next week, Leslie and Joe discuss all the things they are going to miss about Genie+. While we’re excited for the new system, there are definitely aspects of Genie+ that we’re going to miss. Along the way we have some mild speculation about the new system and can’t stop ourselves from starting to theorycraft a little bit - we’re looking forward to trying it out!

    Are you going to miss Genie+ or is it a good riddance for you? Let us know by e-mailing disneydeciphered AT gmail DOT com, messaging us on Twitter, or leaving a comment on our Youtube page. You can also follow us on Instagram!
