If you are going to Animal Kingdom or EpcotWhile 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.
Once you have purchased theme park admission to a Walt Disney World theme park, the attractions are included. Once you have entered a Walt Disney World theme park, you can enjoy as many attractions as you want to as many times as you want to! There is no need to purchase separate tickets for attractions.
You do not need a park reservation or additional ticket to enter the park at or after 7:00 PM. If you plan to arrive earlier than 7:00 PM, valid theme park admission will be required. A theme park reservation for EPCOT may also be required.
Can you have more than one Genie+ Lightning Lane reservation at a time? Yes. The Genie 120-minute rule says that you can always make a new reservation if two hours have passed since you made the last one, or two hours since park opening if you made the reservation before the park opened.
Level 1 priorities are attractions that run out of Genie+ return times quickly. At EPCOT, there are 3 attractions that typically see their Genie+ spots disappear the fastest: Test Track, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, and Frozen Ever After.
Walt Disney World Genie Plus is the current iteration of the original FastPass system. Typically this paid FastPass service does not sell out at Walt Disney World though it has happened during the busiest seasons.
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.
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. If you made it at, say, 11 a.m., then your two hours will be up at 1 p.m. even if you modify the reservation at noon.
On average, Guests can enter 2 to 3 attractions or experiences per day using Lightning Lane entrances, if the first selection is made early in the day. You can enjoy a Disney Genie+ service Lightning Lane entrance once per day.
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).
Yes, the Disney Lightning Lane, which serves as the 'skip-the-line' queue, is incorporated into the cost of the standard Disney Genie+ rides. By opting for the Disney Genie Plus upgrade, guests can select from over 40 attractions. They can then schedule arrival times to access these rides via the Lightning Lane.
So when should you visit for the lowest crowds, generally? Go on a Wednesday! Fewer guests head to EPCOT mid-week and you can hopefully then walk up to the festival booths without having to wait in long lines. As a bonus tip — make sure to visit the festival booths early in the day.
