Magic Kingdom is the best park for buying Walt Disney World's Genie+ service.

Generally, Peter Pan's Flight is a good option to start with. This ride is very nostalgic and well-loved, and the capacity of this ride is pretty low. That means that the line moves slower than a lot of the rides — so getting a Lightning Lane is useful! Another good option to select is Jungle Cruise.
You may be out of luck for purchasing Individual Lightning Lanes for any attraction if you're staying offsite on high crowd days. Rise of the Resistance used to be the clear winner of the popularity contest here, and that doesn't hold true anymore either. At all crowd levels, Flight of Passage sells out first.
