Can you buy Genie Plus more than once a day?

I have some good news for you! If you have a ticket with the Park Hopper Option, you will only need to purchase Disney Genie+ once per day, per person and you can use the service to make Lightning Lane reservations for the first park you visit and the park(s) to which you are hopping.

All guests, regardless of where they stay, are limited to a maximum of two pay-per-ride attractions per day and can only book a particular ride once per day.

While you can't book more than one Genie+ reservation at once, you can hold multiple Genie+ reservations at a time by utilizing the 120 Minute Rule. This is called Genie+ stacking. You are also able to have both a Genie+ reservation and an Individual Lightning Lane entrance at the same time.

MORE DETAILS

If your first booking is more than 2 hours after the park opens, you'll have to wait until 2 hours after park opening and not 2 hours after you booked. If your most recently booked Genie+ ride time is LESS than 2 hours away, as soon as you tap into the tapstiles at the attraction, you can book your next one.

MORE DETAILS

You can purchase Genie+ day by day on each day of your trip using the My Disney Experience app. Genie+ is available for purchase when the clock strikes midnight on the day of your visit, but you don't need to stay up late (instead, just wake up about 15 minutes early to secure it before the 7 a.m. selection process).

The sell-out time was reported by Scott Gustin on Twitter. Read more about Walt Disney World Genie Plus in our tips & strategy guide.

How far in advance can I book Walt Disney World Genie+ reservations? You can start making Disney Genie+ selections beginning at 7:00 am ET on the day of your visit, regardless of where you stay during your vacation. In 2024, we expect some advance selection options to become available.

You can only book two Individual Lightning Lanes per day. No matter how many parks you plan to visit in one day, you are only allowed to book two Individual Lightning Lanes. For example, you're planning to start your day in Hollywood Studios, but want to park hop over to Magic Kingdom in the afternoon.

The way Genie+ ride reservations work is that you can book one at a time, and can either make another selection after two hours (120 minutes) or once you tap into your previous Genie+ selection (both tapstiles at attractions that have two)—whichever comes first.

MORE DETAILS

The Genie 120-minute rule says that you can make a new reservation at most 2 hours from when you made the last one, and this countdown timer doesn't change if you modify the reservation. If you made it at, say, 11 a.m., then your two hours will be up at 1 p.m. even if you modify the reservation at noon.

Let me describe the difference between Disney Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes. Disney Genie+ is a magical upgrade to your ticket that allows you to select Lightning Lane entrances at over 40 attractions throughout the theme parks. These Lightning Lane entrances allow you to skip the regular standby line.

And no matter how many theme parks you visit, you can only purchase two Individual Lightning Lane passes per day. In addition, like standard Genie+ rides, you can't buy passes more than once for the same ride.

As long as you and your husband have separate My Disney Experience accounts and both purchased Disney Genie+ Service, you can each log in and make selections. However, you would want to make sure one of you is booking the Disney Genie+ Lightning Lanes and the other is booking the Individual Lightning Lanes.

I recommend keeping the number of tickets linked to a given account to about 10 or fewer. As far as theme park reservations go, it is OK to book multiple reservations to cover all of your party. As long as everyone has the same starting park on the same dates, you can all enter the parks together just fine.

Genie+ lets you “hold” (stack) as many reservations at once as you'd like. No limits! FastPass+ return windows couldn't overlap. If you had a Peter Pan's Flight reservation with an 11:40 am – 12:40 pm return time, none of your other FastPass+ return times could overlap with that hour at all.

MORE DETAILS

Genie Plus is definitely worth it for Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, and if you don't like early starts, you might consider it for Epcot and Animal Kingdom. If you are park hopping, Genie+ is even better value as it maximises the number of rides you have access to.

Is Disney Lightning Lane Worth it Conclusion. As a general rule of thumb we do find the Disney World Lightning Lane to be worth it if you can find a way to save 60 minutes per attraction at a cost of under $11.00 per attraction.

Yes, regardless on where you are staying, you can start making Disney Genie+ attraction reservations at 7 am. It does not matter if you can't check in until 4 pm, or when you get your room, everyone can start booking in the morning.

MORE DETAILS

If you didn't add Genie+ for your entire stay when you purchased your park tickets, the easiest way to get it is to add it on each day of your visit. Until the day of your park reservation, when you try to purchase it on the My Disney Experience app, you'll see that you are not eligible.

So how many Disney guests actually use the service? In the Quarter 3 Earnings Call, Bob Chapek said that close to 50% of park guests purchase Genie+. “Even our Genie product, which we released short of a year ago, now about 50% of the people who come through the gate, buy up to that Genie product,” Chapek said.
