How much time does Genie Plus save Disneyland?

It's still very very easy to get and use Genie+ reservations for every eligible attraction. And you're saving more time compared to standby because those wait times are picking up a little compared to low crowd days. That means you can save even more time – in this case, just about 2.5 hours compared to standby.

The 120-minute rule is determined by when you make the reservation, not the return time for the attraction. So if you both log on at 9 AM to make a reservation for different attractions, you will both have to wait 120 minutes (or after riding the attraction, whichever comes first) to make your next selections.

Missing a Lightning Lane entirely will result in you not being able to book another one for the same ride. However, once the appropriate time elapses you can book another ride. My suggestion is to be strategic with the Lightning Lane bookings and aim to keep modifying to a time you know you will make it.
