What should your first lightning lane be at Magic Kingdom?

If you are an onsite guest and are attending Early Theme Park Entry AND you are planning to purchase a Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Individual Lightning Lane, riding Peter Pan's Flight at rope drop and making Jungle Cruise your 1st Genie+ of the day is also a good choice.

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.

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.

In fact, usually the most popular rides are excluded for Genie+ guests. For example, Lightning Lanes aren't available through Genie+ for Disney World's Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, TRON Lightcycle/Run, Avatar Flight of Passage, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.

MORE DETAILS

You can only buy an individual Lightning Lane for each ride once per day. So each guest gets up to two distinct individual Lightning Lanes each day. That's not per park—it's total. So if you purchase Rise of the Resistance and TRON Lightcycle / Run, you can't purchase Flight of Passage as well.
