The not being able to see WOC part is untrue. Go to the 10:15 showing and there's always plenty of room. I had a VQ for WOC for example for the 10:15 showing on my recent trip. Dead middle, exactly where I wanted to be. They weren't even scanning VQs and it had been decently crowded during the day. I've certainly been when it's busier, but i've also never "needed" a Fastpass or VQ to see WOC whenever i've gotten one.Once again not against maps but close to 99 percent of people going to the parks have phones
WiFi is proved to help as well
I’m honestly impressed USH offers printed tickets for SLOP and SNW because at Disneyland if you don’t have a smart phone you can’t see WOC or use genie plus
As for Genie+. What you are saying sounds correct on the surface, but I do wonder, if you were to go to guest services and ask if you'd still be able to use it without a phone?
"But how do you use Genie+ if you don't have a phone?"
Well, DLR has Guest Service Kiosks in seemingly every land of the park, sometimes multiple per land. I wonder if you could buy it from them, have them attach it to a paper ticket used for entry and then any time you want to book a reservation you the Guest Service CMs could do it for you at the portable kiosks around the park? It's not ideal, but i'd imagine something like that could be done for people who don't have smart phones.
