While many rides are included in the paid Genie+ service, some attractions and entertainment options are NOT included in the standard service. Sometimes, you can still skip the lines at these rides by paying for an Individual Lightning Lane, but other times the standby line is truly your only option.

All guests, regardless of where they stay, are limited to a maximum of two pay-per-ride attractions per day and can only book a particular ride once per day. What about Annual Passholders? Annual Passholders will need to purchase Genie+ on the day(s) of their visit.

You are only able to use Lightning Lane once per attraction per day (for both Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane). For example: If you want to make a Genie+ selection for Pirates of the Caribbean, you can only use Genie+ once to ride Pirates of the Caribbean on that particular day.

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.

Magic Kingdom's Splash Mountain creatures sang their last notes in January of 2023, and Disneyland's on May 31, 2023. Now, the ride has closed its doors forever. The brand new ride replacing it, Tiana's Bayou Adventure, is inspired by Tiana, the radiant star of the 2009 animated hit The Princess and the Frog.

If you miss it completely without modifying it beforehand, you will not be able to redeem the reservation nor will you be able to make another Lightning Lane reservation for that same attraction for that same day. However, you'll certainly be able to make another reservation for a different attraction.

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.

You may be out of luck for purchasing Individual Lightning Lanes for any attraction if you're staying offsite on high crowd days. Rise of the Resistance used to be the clear winner of the popularity contest here, and that doesn't hold true anymore either. At all crowd levels, Flight of Passage sells out first.

How does Genie+ work? You can make your selections across all of the theme parks if you have a Park Hopper ticket and purchase the Multiple-Park option with Genie+ (look near the bottom of the My Day tab where it says, Plan for Your Next Park to let Genie know your park hopping plans).

MORE DETAILS

Pros: Individual Lightning Lanes can save you from brutal wait times that can climb to 100 minutes or more. Also, keep in mind that Rise of the Resistance tends to break down quite frequently, and you could get stuck in an already monstrously long line for even longer if this happens.
