Do you need Genie Plus to ride Guardians?

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind does not offer a standby line and is only available for puchase via the Disney Genie+ Individual Attraction selection or through the virtual queue. This means that this ride is not included in the general cost per day for Genie+ but is available at a separate cost.

And, for that reason, ever since its opening day on May 27th, 2022, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind has utilized a Virtual Queue as a line management tool for this in-demand ride. In fact, Cosmic Rewind does not offer a traditional Standby Line at all… at least, not at this time.

MORE DETAILS

Guests are limited to one ride per day on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind using the Virtual Queue during regular park hours. This allows as many people as possible an opportunity to ride. However, it is possible to get into the Virtual Queue and also buy an Individual Lightning Lane to ride a second time.

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.

Genie+ is a paid add-on to the free Genie service that gives guests front-of-the-line access to high-traffic attractions and shows, like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade. The price for Genie+ varies between parks, days and how busy the parks are on your reservation date.
