Know when bookings run out.As with Genie+, individual Lightning Lanes can run out of return times. Generally you'll go into your day knowing what rides you're going to book, and you'll do that ASAP. But some days you might decide to wait and see how your morning goes.
Remy's Ratatouille Adventure is the only other attraction that sells out before the park closes. Its earliest available time starts at 11 am (the park opens at 10 am), and then it stays booked out by about 3 hours for most of the day, until it sells out around 7 pm.
In fact, usually the most popular rides are excluded for Genie+ guests. For example, Lightning Lanes aren't available through Genie+ for Disney World's Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, TRON Lightcycle/Run, Avatar Flight of Passage, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
If you are going to Animal Kingdom or EpcotWhile we really, really think Genie+ is worth it at Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, we feel just as strongly as to it not being as necessary at Animal Kingdom and Epcot. But, while it isn't necessary, it can definitely make touring those 2 parks a lot, lot easier.
You may purchase individual—or à la carte—Lightning Lane entry selections for specific attractions that aren't offered through Disney Genie+ service. Purchase individual Lightning Lane entry for up to 2 attractions per day, one at a time. Guests may purchase this option with or without Disney Genie+ service.
For individual Lightning Lane purchases, guests of a Disney Resort hotel and other select hotels* may make their first purchase starting at 7:00 am on the day of their visit. All other Guests can make their first purchase during normal park opening hours. Pricing and availability vary by date, attraction and park.
Smell. The relatively new Ratatouille attraction in EPCOT gives guests a whiff of traditional French cuisine … the aroma of a warm baguette hits guests as they careen through the restaurant's kitchen.
Remy's Ratatouille Adventure – a charming experience with a bit of a spin… literally. The spinning and tight turns in this attraction can make your stomach do a little flip-flop dance. Add the 3D visuals and screens into the mix, and you've got a recipe for motion sickness for some folks.
It's still fun and has its moments, but for me, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure is the least impressive of Walt Disney World's trackless trio–and it's not even close. At best, this is a cute and charming ride that fits fairly well into World Showcase and fills the area's long-term need for more family-friendly rides.
While there is no limit to Lightning Lanes, there is a limit to Individual Lightning Lanes. You can book up to two Individual Lightning Lanes per day. Currently as of April 2023, Walt Disney World offers ILLs on Seven Dwarves Mine Train, TRON, Cosmic Rewind, Rise of the Resistance, and Flight of Passage.
As long as everyone is linked as Family & Friends in My Disney Experience, the best approach is to have one person select and purchase the individual Lightning Lane selections for the entire group. This ensures that you all receive the same available time slot to return to the attraction.
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.
Guests of Marriott properties, The Walt Disney World Swan and The Walt Disney World Dolphin, can also take advantage of early Individual Lightning Lane access. Note that you don't need to purchase Genie+ to buy Individual Lightning Lane passes. These two services are entirely separate.
