Disney Genie Is Now Live Post Your Hints and Tips

[BadPinkTink]

Genie, Genie+ and Individual Attraction Lightning Lane Passes are now live on The Disneyland California App. You will need to update your App, from the previous version updated on December 3 to the new update version 7.0 December 8

After the update, when you open the App, this is what you will see








Once you click DONE, the introduction message is gone and the App opens.

If you have a park ticket linked to the App and had made park reservations and restaurant reservations before December 8 , they will be automatically loaded into the new Genie system.

Place holder, free genie tour plan update

Would love to know if the Disneyland implementation of Genie+ supports multiple rides for Guardians. Similar to how MAXPASS operated. I know at DisneyWorld there are no re-rides but still holding hope that Genie+ at Disneyland will allow it!

Reloaded my app and loaded our preferences for today. Should be interesting to use on the first day!

It looks like if you want to book a lightning lane you have to scroll through a long list of attractions and entertainment that don't offer lightning lane on the My Tips page. That will be really frustrating if it's the case. I'm really hoping there's another place to book them or a way to filter the list!

I have a ticket and reservation for 12/11, and I can't get any Genie options. It says Not quite ready to craft your day. Says I'll need a reservation. The app shows my tickets and reservation but this part of it seems blind to it. Any ideas what to do?

In the Tip Board, under the chosen park, there is the Edit Selection. Go into it and select the rides with LL offered. Save. Then those top picks of yours will be listed first. This worked when i toggled between the parks (not sure if there’s another way to refresh).

ETA: you can pull down the screen to refresh. Looks like the top picks will be listed in alphabetical order regardless of the order they were selected.

It does not. One ride per attraction per day.

As an analyst who works on user interfaces for systems, my first reaction to this was OMG SO MANY WORDS. For a company that accommodates international tourists and people with a variety of reading and retention skills it floors me that they would go with a wall of text to share such important information. That choice, by itself, is going to result in confused and angry people in the parks who did not really understand what they bought.

Here now, in DCA
Bought a Webslingers ILL$, took 4 tries before it went through. App is slow with lots of people on it. Otherwise easy enough to use.

I don't have an Edit Selection. Only a Change Park option. Do you need an active reservation to see the Edit options?

Same. Seems like you can’t do anything ahead of time, at least at the moment. In the Genie area it’s only showing info for today. There is a “change day” tab in the Genie area but only today is selectable.

 

[poptart90]

Just figured out that you can also access the ILL's and Genie+LL's by clicking on each attraction in the Map portion of the App.

Ugh, all of my dining reservations are gone! Hoping this is just a first day glitch! Anyone else seeing this??

 

[evilmommie]

A tad slow, but super easy to use. I love seeing my selections with the standby times and Genie+ options.

 

[dieumeye]

At 8:20 I’m seeing most LL return times are immediate except Indy which is at 10:05.

Rise $LL return is 9:25, which is great, but that’s expected since standby is only 60 minutes and $LL is 20 dollars!

Gonna keep an eye on Indy!

 

[Epicnemesis]

Isn’t rise 15 in disneyworld?

Strange that it would cost more here when the lines have been shorter and locals are more inclined to say “eh, I’ll ride it next time”

You can use the my day planning feature to choose priority rides and it will bring them to the top of the tip page.

So far return times are all still early. Taking a few times to book them because the app is glitchy but overall enjoying this. Makes me feel like I'm on an old disney trip
