Is Genie plus good for park hopping?

There are a couple of elements of the Genie+ system that make it especially attraction and conducive to Park Hopping. First, the no re-ride rule. This means you can't use Lightning Lanes repeatedly to bypass lines on Na'vi River Journey, or your favorite attraction.

Magic Kingdom is the best park for buying Walt Disney World's Genie+ service.

If you are going to Animal Kingdom or Epcot While we really, really think Genie+ is worth it at Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, we feel just as strongly as to it not being as necessary at Animal Kingdom and Epcot. But, while it isn't necessary, it can definitely make touring those 2 parks a lot, lot easier.

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.

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.

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).

You now can only park hop AFTER 2PM. So you'll have to wait until well after lunchtime if you're planning on visiting another park. However, this rule is different for Annual Passholders.

You can even buy Genie+ in the middle of your park day, if you want. If you want to make that first Genie+ selection starting at 7 a.m., make sure you purchase Genie+ somewhat early to navigate the new system (including Disney Genie), especially if you've never used it.

For Individual Lightning Lanes, guests are limited to 2 Individual Lightning Lane purchases per day. With Genie+ Lightning Lanes, guests may not reserve the same ride twice in one day, and there are limits on how frequently you can reserve.

As a result, we recommend your first Genie+ pick be Peter Pan's Flight. If you have Early Entry and you are buying the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Lightning Lane, you will be able to visit either Peter Pan's Flight or Space Mountain at rope drop, and you'll probably be able to make it to Jungle Cruise when that ride opens.

Choosing Your Disney Genie+ Attractions
  1. First Priority – book these attractions at 7:00 am, as your first selection.
  2. Second Priority – these attractions tend to run out earlier in the day so get them sooner rather than later.
  3. Third Priority – these attractions often do not run out.

Generally, Peter Pan's Flight is a good option to start with. This ride is very nostalgic and well-loved, and the capacity of this ride is pretty low. That means that the line moves slower than a lot of the rides — so getting a Lightning Lane is useful! Another good option to select is Jungle Cruise.

The Genie+ upgrade can be purchased and used daily, which is great if you only want to use it on the first day of your trip, for example. My husband and I usually add Genie+ to our tickets when we go on weekends, and it's a good strategy depending on when you're visiting.

Disney states that this is being done because the goal from the outset has been to “launch, learn and evolve” after seeing how guests are using this service.
