How It Works
- Guests of a Disney Resort hotel and other select hotels may make their first purchase at 7:00 AM on the day of their park visit. ...
- All other Guests may make their first purchase when the park opens.
- Purchase this type of Lightning Lane entry for up to 2 different experiences a day, one at a time.
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.

For those not staying at a Disney Hotel, an Individual Lighting Lane for an attraction can be purchased when that attraction's park officially opens for the day.

Guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort can begin making those purchases at 7:00 AM. If you are not staying at a Disney Resort Hotel, you can purchase your Individual Lightning Lane when Disney's Hollywood Studio opens for the day (typically 9:00 AM, but check the park hours for the day you are visiting).

Here are a few more things to keep in mind: Remember that you will still need a ticket and a Park Pass Reservation for the park where you are purchasing an Individual Lightning Lane.

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.

Yes, the Disney Lightning Lane, which serves as the 'skip-the-line' queue, is incorporated into the cost of the standard Disney Genie+ rides. By opting for the Disney Genie Plus upgrade, guests can select from over 40 attractions. They can then schedule arrival times to access these rides via the Lightning Lane.

Assuming you're both on each other's Family & Friends list, you can make reservations for each other. However, you are only allowed to book one Lightning Lane reservation per person. You can't each hold multiple Lightning Lane reservations.
MORE DETAILS
Can you have more than one Genie+ Lightning Lane reservation at a time? Yes. The Genie 120-minute rule says that you can always make a new reservation if two hours have passed since you made the last one, or two hours since park opening if you made the reservation before the park opened.

Can Genie+ sell out? Yes. It can. Although it isn't common, we've seen it happen a few times during busier times of the year (like over the holidays and Spring Break).
MORE DETAILS
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.
MORE DETAILS
You can buy two individual Lightning Lanes each day. You can only buy an individual Lightning Lane for each ride once per day. So each guest gets up to two distinct individual Lightning Lanes each day.

According to Disney, Club 33 is simply named after its address at 33 Royal Street in New Orleans Square at Disneyland.

If you select a Lightning Lane through the Disney Genie and the return time is more than 2 hours after the current time and after park open, then after 2 hours you can go in and select your next Lightning Lane even though you have not redeemed your first one.

You do not need to run the Castaway Cay 5K; you can absolutely walk it! I have done this course a couple of times, I have the medals to prove it, and I certainly walked more than I ran!

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.
MORE DETAILS
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. What about Annual Passholders? Annual Passholders will need to purchase Genie+ on the day(s) of their visit.
