How do you pick which park to make reservation and use Genie+

Visiting 1/22-1/29. Trying to decide how to pick which park to start in. We have park hopper too. How do you begin to pick parks and then figure out how to best use Genie+ and lightning lane. We love Flight of Passage and want to do new Star Wars ride. Any tips would be appreciated.

I usually look at crowd calendars online from different sites to determine which parks may have fewer people. They're estimates, but still I think they help with visiting when less crowded. If you're staying at a deluxe resort, Disney has posted when MK and Epcot are open late for you, so check that, too. I recommend googling "molly All Ears YouTube" and watch her recent videos at MK and at HS to learn how to strategize Genie+.

I second this! I look at a few crowd calendars online. You can just search “WDW crowd calendar” and a few will pop up. Touring Plans has a good one.

I use touringplans crowd calendar as a base and another site as a backup, but I can't remember the name, ha ha.

I use Touring Plans and history as we tend to like to do some things in a certain order. (e.g. start and end in MK )
