Which parks should I get Genie Plus?

If you are going to Animal Kingdom or Epcot While 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.

I think genie plus is pretty good if you don't mind the money and are fast at making your lightning lanes, but some rides just aren't on genie plus, and that's the individual lightning lanes. So if you dont mind the cost i'd purchase genie plus and the individual lightning lanes as you go.

Guests of Marriott properties, The Walt Disney World Swan and The Walt Disney World Dolphin, can also take advantage of early Individual Lightning Lane access. Note that you don't need to purchase Genie+ to buy Individual Lightning Lane passes. These two services are entirely separate.
