I agree that Universal’s Express Pass is far superior to Genie+. While at Universal in October, our Grandkids rode Men In Black 7 times with only a minute or two wait before each ride. The Standby line was 45 minutes. Express Pass is expensive (as high as a park ticket) but you can avoid the cost by staying in one of their on-site hotels with the highest per room cost. We also went to Disney World during the same trip and found Genie+ unsatisfying, to say the least. All the popular rides are completely booked early in the morning so the feature is useless most of the time. I am glad the old FastPass system is retired, however. It required too much advanced planning and during busy seasons, the most in-demand rides are booked within seconds of the booking window. I would like Disney to charge a substantial amount for an unlimited FastPass ticket and limit the number sold. That way if skipping the line is important to guests, they can budget for the service and know in advance that they will have a stress free day.
