So the short answer? Lightning Lane availability for Genie+ rides can temporarily run out, but they're often re-stocked with more availability later in the day.

Can Disneyland Genie Plus rides sell out? Genie+ rides are not guaranteed. The most popular rides can run out of available Genie+ Lightning Lane selections.
Genie+ is available for purchase when the clock strikes midnight on the day of your visit, but you don't need to stay up late (instead, just wake up about 15 minutes early to secure it before the 7 a.m. selection process).
2) You can only purchase two Individual LL reservations per day. 3) You can begin making Genie+ Lightning Lane selections at 7 am the day of your visit in the My Disney Experience app.
The way Genie+ ride reservations work is that you can book one at a time, and can either make another selection after two hours (120 minutes) or once you tap into your previous Genie+ selection (both tapstiles at attractions that have two)–whichever comes first.
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.
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.
And no matter how many theme parks you visit, you can only purchase two Individual Lightning Lane passes per day. In addition, like standard Genie+ rides, you can't buy passes more than once for the same ride.
If you logon right around 7AM and see Individual Lightning Lanes have sold out, keep trying. Not everyone who immediately secures a time will go all the way through with payment. Similarly, if there's availability just before the park opens that disappears as the park opens, keep trying for the same reason.
You can add Disney Genie+ Service to your existing Theme Park Tickets on the My Disney Experience mobile app. Start by tapping on the three little horizontal lines in the bottom right corner of the app home screen. Tap on the My Genie Day box.
Let me describe the difference between Disney Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes. Disney Genie+ is a magical upgrade to your ticket that allows you to select Lightning Lane entrances at over 40 attractions throughout the theme parks. These Lightning Lane entrances allow you to skip the regular standby line.
Genie+ lets you “hold” (stack) as many reservations at once as you'd like. No limits! FastPass+ return windows couldn't overlap. If you had a Peter Pan's Flight reservation with an 11:40 am – 12:40 pm return time, none of your other FastPass+ return times could overlap with that hour at all.
Disney recently added some language to the Genie+ website that says “On average, guests can enter 2 to 3 attractions or experiences per day using the Lightning Lane entrance if the first selection is made early in the day.” This is similar to the number of FastPasses that could be made by guests before the service was ...
Use Genie+ how it works best for you.Use stacking to hold a later Genie+ reservation and continue making others that you'll use more rapidly throughout the day. Or use stacking to make multiple Genie+ reservations for later in the day, allowing you to skip lots of ride lines at once.
Guests who have purchased the Disney Genie+ service can make their first selection at 7:00 am on the day of their visit. For individual Lightning Lane purchases, guests of a Disney Resort hotel and other select hotels* may make their first purchase starting at 7:00 am on the day of their visit.
With Disney Genie+ service, Guests can reserve Lightning Lane access to over 40 rides and attractions, one at a time, beginning at 7:00 am. Guests are eligible to reserve an additional attraction after redeeming the first, or if 2 hours have elapsed since making their most recent Lightning Lane reservation.
You can make your first Genie+ Lightning Lane booking for the day at 7AM. It doesn't matter if you're a guest of a Disney hotel or not, all guests can make their first booking at 7AM. You can make Genie+ Lightning Lane bookings through the Genie Tip Board in the Disney World app.
Genie Plus is definitely worth it for Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, and if you don't like early starts, you might consider it for Epcot and Animal Kingdom. If you are park hopping, Genie+ is even better value as it maximises the number of rides you have access to.
1. You can only book Lightning Lanes one at at time. Unlike with the old Fastpass system, Genie Plus Lightning Lanes can only booked one at a time. You must badge in to the attraction before you can book your next one.
