What happens if my Genie Plus ride is closed?

If you purchase Genie+ and have used it to book a time to ride an attraction and that attraction goes down, you'll get what's called a multi-experience redemption that's good for other rides (although some may be excluded, unless it was the ride you'd already booked for).

Get In Line at Closing Disney's usual policy states that as long as you are in line for an attraction by the time the Park closes, you'll get to ride it. That means if you get on line for Test Track at 8:59 p.m., you may walk off it at 9:30 or later, meaning you'll walk through the Park after it closes.

If you're in line for Space Mountain at 8:59 p.m. and the park closes at 9:00, you will still be allowed to ride even if the wait time is an hour or more. On a related note, you should be aware that the Standby Time posted at an attraction is almost always grossly exaggerated at the end of the day.

Some rides tend to go down more than others, but you also have to consider ride closures associated with bad weather — basically, all outdoor rides are shut down in that case. Sometimes, rides just have technical issues that will result in a closure, but whatever the case, it can upend your plans for the day.
