Is Disney Genie worth it for one day?

This. If you're going for a few days, and not coming back for at least a couple of years it is 100% worth it. You get on the rides that are your priority, and you've also saved time to wait in shorter lines so it maximizes your time. If you're going to be back on a regular basis, waiting in line isn't a huge burden.
