Went to DCA today (prefacing my report that I don’t have a magic key and it’s wednesday) and honestly I hope USH keeps being as empty and pleasant as it is. Even with Genie+, it’s still a crowded hellscape (you can’t even walk or use the bathroom sometimes). As the day goes on, the more backed up Genie+ gets. It works well in the beginning to middle of the day, but after that you’ll see things like Guardians backed up all the way into Avengers campus and Incredicoaster just being a wait in every line. In between reservations, wait times are so high you kinda flail around doing things you don’t really want to do. Genie+ does ruin standby lines considerably more than fastpass ever has. I hope USH never decides to do something like it.
As far as the app experience, mobile ordering was broken all day for me and finding your Genie+ reservations was laggy and hard to find at times (you can’t even cancel them, or at least i couldn’t find how). It’s really a mess.
Also unpopular opinion but web slingers makes toy story look out of date. At toy story the screens are showing its age and the game toy doesn’t work as well (at least in my seat).
As much as DCA is a fun park, the crowds are just too crazy to enjoy it for me personally. You really need Genie+ now there.
