As a result, we recommend your first Genie+ pick be Peter Pan's Flight.

You may be out of luck for purchasing Individual Lightning Lanes for any attraction if you're staying offsite on high crowd days.

It's definitely on the milder side, but it's so buttery smooth it's more enjoyable than Space Mountain, with how janky the latter has gotten. It is not worth a significant wait though, so if you can rope drop or end of night it, that would be better. The queue is brutal in the sun, too. YES, slinky dog is great!

How does the 2-hour rule work? If you select a Lightning Lane through the Disney Genie and the return time is more than 2 hours after the current time and after park open, then after 2 hours you can go in and select your next Lightning Lane even though you have not redeemed your first one.
