genie+

We have decided to not use the Genie+ or Lightning Lane system for our trip at the end of August. I'm getting conflicting feedback about whether we should rope drop, or come later in the day and ride the biggest attractions once lines die down. What is your per-park, non-Genie+/Lightning Lane...

Hello Everyone, My wife and I are going on a Disney World vacation in September. I have been setting up our Park Reservations and our MDE apps. One issue that has been an absolute thorn in my side is when I pull up the ‘My Genie Day’ tab in the app it shows the wrong park at the top. I go...

Hey all! So I did a search but didn't really find the answer I was looking for. My family recently moved to Florida about 45 minutes from the parks. We of course purchased annual passes for the whole family and have already made it worthwhile lol. Monday will be the first time we are taking my...

This is my family's first (and maybe once-in-a-lifetime) trip to Disneyland. It is my wife and me, 12 year old son, 10 year old daughter. We are arriving Saturday, May 20th to Disneyland Hotel. No parks on that day. We will be at the parks with 5 day Park Hopper tickets May 21-25. We will...

I haven't been to WDW since COVID and Genie+. We have a short notice trip for a cheer competition and I have read everything I can find on the new system. Below is our plan for our 3 day hopper tickets + celebration party at HS. How do I find out what rides are open at the party? We love Star...

My daughter and I have just returned from a ten day trip. We decided not to book any ADRs and just see what was available on the day. We always do RD, generally have an hour long nap at the resort and then return to the parks until park close. Just before we arrived MP opened, and we did book...

Dates of Stay: 07/30/2022 - 08/06/2022 Stay Location: WDW Swan Ticket Type: Park Hopper + Genie+ We went down for a 6 day trip, luckily still having Marriott points to stay at the Swan for reward points. This gave us easy access to Epcot for trying out the 2 new attractions since we last were...

Going to DLR August 10-14. Loved the previous pass system and scared to death of Genie+/LL. Let me start with a really basic strategy question. I really hate the idea of paying for individual LLs. How early does Radiator Springs Racers get to 80+ minutes? Can it be done quicker first thing in...

I received a multiple experiences LL pass today at Epcot when Test Track went down. We ended up not using it but plan on hopping to HS tonight. Can I use the multiple experience LL pass at HS on eligible rides? Or can I only use it at Epcot since that’s where it was given to me? Thanks!

Disneyland experts! I’m going to Disneyland on a three day CA ticket. I’ll only be using two full days and maybe a bit for one of the others. But, my question is should I do park hoppers or genie plus for my addition (I’m booking through an agency and it’s the same price for each)? I have qualms...

Warning, LONG post! Newbie looking for advice! Four questions at the bottom of the post. Asking about Parades, Rope Drop, Budgeting, Tips/Tricks, DAS, Genie+, etc. First, the general info for my group and trip. Planning (way) ahead for a trip next May (2023) 8 Adult Guests, 6 of which are...

Hello All, We leave for WDW in two days. It’s our first trip. I’m exhausted and grumpy from the months of research to figure out everything. Something I saw yesterday is freaking me out. I watched a YouTube video stating that Genie+ “will allow you to add up to 12 people; however, there have...

So I get how rider swap works with genie+. My issues is how to optimize our usage while using rider swap. There are 4 of us, but my youngest is only 38”. So sometimes we will need rider swap. Is there a good strategy to use when trying to quickly book those popular rides that go quickly?For...

We are planning to go to EPCOT on our move day during a split stay. We want to be lazy in the morning and not head to park until 11am-ish. What do you suggest for a touring plan with such a late start? We will have genie + and can buy ILL too. How can we get all the big rides in? TIA!

Hi everyone. I'm going with a group of 7 to Disney world next month and I have a few questions - I'll buy the park tickets at the official website and I'll receive some e-tickets that i'll need to exchange at guest service counter in Disney Springss or at the park gates. Is this correct? Theres...

Hi All, going to WDW with a group of 15. We are designating two adults to be responsible for selecting genie plus attractions. The challenge I’m anticipating is coordinating the ride time window. Because you can’t select a ride time is there a best practice for ensuring each group has an...

Haven't been in ten years but go to Disney World every year. What do people typically do at Disneyland instead of magic bands? Do you have to get the early morning start to make Genie plus/Individual ride selections like you do at Disney World or does stuff not sell out as fast? What are the...

Hi all - do ticketed kiddos (so ages 3+) need to wear their magic bands to check in to the parks and any genie+ or LL? Do the parks still do fingerprints? Any tips/tricks to managing this? Thanks in advance!

Just returned back from Orlando and thought I'd share some tips on using Genie+ on a UK phone, because there are definitely some glitches. I have an android phone and it seems iphone may not have the same problems and YMMV, but as a long time lurker I'm hoping this info might help someone! Pre...
