I know a lot of Walt Disney World fans are worried about Genie+ availability if they sleep in, but don’t be.Įvery single attraction in Magic Kingdom had ride reservations available before noon as of 9:19 am, after the park opened. I entered the Lightning Lane at 9:28 and was on a boat by 9:32. By the time I was off Pirates, Jungle Cruise was open and had a posted 50 minute wait. The anytime pass doesn’t impact the Disney Genie+ attraction selection, so I booked Splash Mountain for my next attraction, with a return time of 10:25 am. My indecision paid off, as I received a pop-up notification from Disney Genie+, which altered me that Disney Genie+ changed my plans and gave me a “Lightning Lane– Select Experiences attraction redemption valid anytime on Oct 19” since Jungle Cruise was down. It was a walk-on, so I wasn’t concerned about wasting any time. I worried I’d be behind the curve if I cancelled, so I opted to ride Pirates of the Caribbean via standby while I deliberated on my next move. I debated cancelling my Disney Genie+ selection since other headliners had return times before 11 am. Genie must have been sleeping-in because he didn’t let me know about my first attraction selection being down. Since Tom was not using Genie+ and instead seeing how many rides he could accomplish via standby only, this is where our days part ways. Instead, we headed towards the left side of Magic Kingdom, with Jungle Cruise being the first attraction on the agenda. We were not staying on-site, so Early Theme Park Entry to access Tomorrowland or Fantasyland was not an option. Following that, we got ready and arrived at Magic Kingdom shortly before rope drop. The visit to Magic Kingdom began by waking up before 7 am, buying Genie+ for the day, and making my first ride selection (Jungle Cruise) at 7 am. Additional posts are coming soon with strategy, ride recommendations & priorities, and more. For that, see our How to Buy Genie+ and Make Ride Reservations or Guide to Genie+ at Walt Disney World & Lightning Lane FAQ. It was a long day from rope drop until after park closing, so I’m not going to go over basics. This post walks you through my step-by-step day using Genie+ in Magic Kingdom, with selection & return times, screenshots, everything I accomplished, and thoughts at the end about whether Genie+ is worth the money. Walt Disney World’s new Genie+ line-skipping service has launched as the permanent replacement to free FastPass+ for select attractions in each park.
