Over at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway and Radiator Springs Racers are not included with Genie+.
You can only use Genie+ on each attraction one time per day. So, if you book an early morning pass for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, use it, and then want to ride Thunder Mountain again later in the day…you'll need to wait in the standby line. So keep that in mind during your trip!
And no matter how many theme parks you visit, you can only purchase two Individual Lightning Lane passes per day. In addition, like standard Genie+ rides, you can't buy passes more than once for the same ride.
However, there are a handful of rides for which standard Genie+ purchases don't include Lightning Lane access. These are usually the most desirable or popular rides within the park. So instead, guests can choose to purchase Individual Lightning Lane passes.
With this change, as of June 27th, 2023, guests in Disney World will be able to buy Genie+ based on what (and how many) parks they want to visit. In other words, Genie+ pricing will actually be PARK SPECIFIC and your purchase will either be for a single park or multiple parks.
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).
Rides at Magic Kingdom that do not use Genie+Those are called Individual Lightning Lane selections. Plus, there is a list of other attractions that don't have Lightning Lanes at all and only use Standby Lines. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (38 height req.) TRON Lightcycle / Run (48 height req.)
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.
You can only make one Genie+ selection at a time, but you can hold overlapping Genie+ selections because there is a two-hour window before you're able to select another one. You can also purchase an individual Lightning Lane selection that overlaps with a Genie+ selection.
Genie+ lets you “hold” (stack) as many reservations at once as you'd like. No limits! FastPass+ return windows couldn't overlap. If you had a Peter Pan's Flight reservation with an 11:40 am – 12:40 pm return time, none of your other FastPass+ return times could overlap with that hour at all.
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.
I am happy to report that you can make both a Lightning Lane reservation through Disney Genie+ and try to obtain a Boarding Group through a Virtual Queue at the same time. To do this, I would highly recommend having one person try for the Lightning Lane and one person try for the Virtual Queue.
Is Disney Lightning Lane Worth it Conclusion. As a general rule of thumb we do find the Disney World Lightning Lane to be worth it if you can find a way to save 60 minutes per attraction at a cost of under $11.00 per attraction.
I recommend keeping the number of tickets linked to a given account to about 10 or fewer. As far as theme park reservations go, it is OK to book multiple reservations to cover all of your party. As long as everyone has the same starting park on the same dates, you can all enter the parks together just fine.
How does Disneyland Genie Plus work? Genie+ allows guests to skip the line at the included attractions, once per ride per day. You can begin making your Genie+ reservations once you have entered the park for the day. You can make your selections across all of the theme parks if you have a Park Hopper ticket.
You can only book two Individual Lightning Lanes per day.No matter how many parks you plan to visit in one day, you are only allowed to book two Individual Lightning Lanes. For example, you're planning to start your day in Hollywood Studios, but want to park hop over to Magic Kingdom in the afternoon.
