Does Genie Plus replace fast pass?

Then, there's the PAID Genie+ service. This is essentially the paid FastPass+ replacement. With Genie+, you pay a certain price per person per day for the service. If you pay for Genie+, you can make 1 Genie+ selection (return time for a specific ride) at a time throughout the day.

I think genie plus is pretty good if you don't mind the money and are fast at making your lightning lanes, but some rides just aren't on genie plus, and that's the individual lightning lanes. So if you dont mind the cost i'd purchase genie plus and the individual lightning lanes as you go.
