Mornings at Walt Disney World have gotten a LOT more hectic now that the Genie+, Individual Lightning Lanes (aka pay-to-ride), and virtual queues are in place.
There is so much pressure to snag them all, and Disney makes it even more difficult by having them all open up right at the exact. same. time.
But, we’ve been testing different methods over and over, and we’ve got some suggestions that should help you get everything you want.
Let’s go over a timeline for what you should book first (and when you should do it). Plus, we’ll show you exactly how to figure out when you can book your next Genie+ spot (and the next, and the next…)
About this Genie+ timeline
When Genie+ started, we found ourselves making notes on our phones for our morning game plans. We spelled out exactly who would be booking what right when that clock turned 7 a.m.
- Get all the details on Genie+ at Walt Disney World
We quickly realized that if we were having to do that, other people were likely doing the same thing, so it made sense to compile all of those notes into 1 spot to (hopefully) make *your* mornings a bit less stressful than ours were.
That’s what you’ll find below. We are going to give you the exact order we think will maximize your chances of snagging everything you’d like to snag, right at 7 a.m.
We’ll split it all out park by park, and include a handy graphic to help you remember the ideal order you’ll be booking all the things. And, we really do promise that the graphic will make things a lot easier, so be sure to save it to your phone so you’ll have it when you need it.
Then, we’ll dive into the other tricky topic: figuring out when you’ll be able to book your next Genie+ reservation.
Always purchase Genie+ before 7 a.m.
If you get nothing else from this post, we want you to walk away with the knowledge that you should always, always, always purchase Genie+ before 7 a.m., and here’s why:
If you wait until 7 a.m. to buy Genie+, while you’re spending time making that purchase, everyone else is snagging all the spots in the virtual queues, getting the earliest Genie+ return times, and purchasing all the best Individual Lightning Lane return times.
You’ll be behind the game.
You can purchase Genie+ any time after midnight on the day you wish to use it. So, if you are a night owl and you’re up after midnight, you can snag it then. Otherwise, plan to wake up before 7 a.m. (we usually do around 6:45 a.m.) so you have time to purchase Genie+ and/or deal with any snags that pop up.
If you can, have more than 1 person booking things
If you have more than 2 people who are familiar with the My Disney Experience app, you’ll have a lot more success if you divide up who is booking what between the 2 (or more) of you.
Seconds really do count, and if your goal is to book a Genie+ selection, snag a spot in a virtual queue, AND purchase 2 Individual Lightning Lane selections, you may miss out by the time you get to the last thing on your list.
Instead, split up the booking tasks between multiple people.
For example, you can have one person snagging a spot in the virtual queue and securing 1 Individual Lightning Lane selection, while the other person does the first Genie+ selection and the other Individual Lightning Lane Selection.
Genie+, Individual Lightning Lane Selections, and Virtual Queues
Here’s what order we recommend you book everything, park-by-park. Remember, all of this takes place inside the My Disney Experience app, so make sure you either have good Wi-Fi OR a good cell signal.
Also keep in mind you do NOT have to do all the things listed. Skip over things that aren’t in your plans, but if you want to maximize your chances, keep the order of the remaining things how we have them listed.

When can I book my next Genie+ selection?
Hands down, one of the most confusing aspects of Genie+ at Walt Disney World is deciphering when you can book your next Genie+ Lightning Lane selection.
But, here’s our tip to make that a bit easier to figure out:
It is only your most recently booked attraction that will determine when you can make your next Genie+ reservation.
That’s it.
But why is it so important to keep track of when that next booking window opens up?
Because, Genie+ isn’t cheap, especially if you are purchasing it for multiple people.
So, to maximize both your day AND your money with Genie+, you’ll want to book your next Lightning Lane reservation as soon as you can.
And, you’ll be able to do that more efficiently if you can keep track of – either mentally or on your phone – when you can use Genie+ to snag your next Lightning Lane spot.
Tip: Use your phone to set a reminder for your next booking window. We don’t recommend you use an alarm unless it is set to vibrate only, as that can interfere with others if it goes off while you are on an attraction.
Genie+ Booking Rules: Only one of these has to happen before you can book your next G+ reservation
Remember, it is only your most recently booked attraction that will determine when you can make your next Genie+ reservation.
So, with that in mind, only ONE of the following has to occur before you can use Genie+ to book your next Lightning Lane reservation:
- If the most recently booked attraction return time is MORE than 2 hours away, you can make your next Genie+ Lightning Lane reservation at the 2-hour mark. IMPORTANT NOTE: The 2-hour clock starts when the park opens. If your first booking is more than 2 hours after the park opens, you’ll have to wait until 2 hours after park opening and not 2 hours after you booked.
OR - If your most recently booked Genie+ ride time is LESS than 2 hours away, as soon as you tap into the tapstiles at the attraction, you can book your next one. IMPORTANT NOTE: some of the more popular attractions have 2 tapstiles and some will have 1. If there are 2, you must tap into both before you’ll be able to make your next selection.
OR - If your most recently booked Genie+ Lightning Lane pass has EXPIRED (meaning you missed your return window), you can make a new Genie+ selection. IMPORTANT NOTE: you can cancel Genie+ reservations, so if you decide not to ride, don’t waste time waiting for a Genie+ reservation to expire.
How to use My Disney Experience to see when you can book your next Genie+ reservation
But what happens if you get confused, and you still aren’t sure when you can make that next Genie+ reservation?
Trust us: this is very likely to happen, especially later in the day as return times start to overlap and things start stacking up.
Disney has made it easy to see when your next booking window opens up. You’ll find it at the top of your Tip Board inside of the My Disney Experience app:
Genie+ return times
Now, let’s talk Genie+ return times.
First, and most importantly, you do NOT get to pick your return times with Genie+.
That can be very confusing for people, especially since you could select your return time with FastPass+ and you can select your return time with the Individual Lightning Lane selections, but when making a Genie+ reservation, you’ll only be able to book the next available time.
That means if you are trying to stack return times for later in the day or group nearby attractions together, you may need to spend a bit more time on your phone watching for the “perfect” time or attraction to open up.
Do Genie+ reservations ever run out?
Yes, they do. And, for the most popular attractions like Slinky Dog Dash, they can run out just seconds after reservations start at 7:00 am.
And, while you may see additional spots open up throughout the day, they are limited in number and can be difficult to snag unless you are dedicating a lot of time to refreshing the app.
But, to help with planning, there are definitely trends to which attractions run out of Genie+ spots first.
In order to go into greater detail, we have broken all that out into Genie+ guides for each park:
What is Genie+ stacking and churning?
In general, there are two different Genie+ methods: stacking and churning. Keep in mind that most people end up doing a combination of both of these.
What is stacking?
Stacking is essentially you making your Genie+ selections for later times in the day and then stacking one right after the other, so you’ll have a bunch together. You can overlap them and create a situation where you are riding attraction after attraction with very little waits.
Stacking works well for when you have other plans for the morning, even if your other plans are to tour during the morning without using Genie+.
This method also works well for anyone who wants to get to the parks later, BUT, keep in mind that you can’t sleep in!
Not only can you begin grabbing your first Genie+ selection starting at 7 a.m. EST, but you’ll have to be on your phone grabbing your next Genie+ every 2 hours from the point you make your first selection.
For those staying offsite and therefore can’t use Early Theme Park Entry, the stacking method can also work in your favor too, especially since you can’t enter the parks 30 minutes before official park opening like the onsite guests can.
This is a good example of what stacking can look like. Ideally, by the time you get to the early afternoon, you’ll start using the churning method described below to fill in time gaps with less-popular attractions.
What is churning?
Churning is when you make your Genie+ selections for early times in the day, tap in, and then make another, and try to get as many as possible during your entire park day.
You are churning through them, one after another. To make it work, you’ll want to grab Genie+ reservations for attractions with return times that are right now, or at least relatively close to the current time.
This method works well if your first Genie+ selection of the day isn’t more than 2 hours out, however, even if you start churning 2 hours after the park opens, you’ll likely still have success especially with the less popular attractions.
This is a good example of what churning can look like.
Attractions that use Genie+ at Walt Disney World
The following are the eligible attractions you can book with Genie+.

Magic Kingdom Genie+ Attractions
Park | Land | Attraction name | Attraction name | Available for Early Theme Park Entry? | Available during Early Theme Park Entry? | Priority Level | Why is it this priority level? | Best times to ride with lowest waits | Is Genie+ available here? | Avg. time G+ return times run out: |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Magic Kingdom | Fantasyland | "it's a small world" | "it's a small world" | Yes | Yes, 2nd level priority | 3 | Genie+ rarely runs out | Early Theme Park Entry, first 2 or last 2 hours of the day, or anytime with G+ | Yes | Rarely runs totally out |

Magic Kingdom | Tomorrowland | Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin | Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin | Yes | Yes, 2nd level priority | 3 | Genie+ runs out late evening | Early Theme Park Entry, first 2 or last 2 hours of the day, or anytime with G+ | Yes | Rarely runs totally out |

Magic Kingdom | Fantasyland | Enchanted Tales with Belle | Enchanted Tales with Belle | No | No | 2 | Enchanted Tales with Belle is a unique attraction, but the capacity isn't great which means the standby lines can really get long.

Magic Kingdom | Adventureland | Enchanted Tiki Room | Enchanted Tiki Room | No | No | No Genie+ | Anytime | No | N/A | |

Magic Kingdom | Liberty Square | Haunted Mansion | Haunted Mansion | No | No | 2 | Even though Haunted Mansion is continuously loading, the waits here can get quite long starting about an hour or 2 after park opening. And, although a large chunk of the queue is covered, it is in the open air (which means it can still be a long, hot wait). | First 2 or last 2 hours of the day, or anytime with G+ | Yes | late afternoon to early evening |
Magic Kingdom | Adventureland | Jungle Cruise | Jungle Cruise | No | No | 1 | This is one of the classic Disney attractions that is popular but also very slow to load.

Magic Kingdom | Fantasyland | Meet Ariel in her Grotto | Meet Ariel in her Grotto | No | No | 2 | If you are a fan of character meets, consider snagging a Genie+ for Ariel because the line here is often quite long, and because she is often not open from park opening to park closing, the Genie+ spots can run out fast. | First 2 or last 2 hours of the day, or anytime with G+ | Yes | Early afternoon |
Magic Kingdom | Fantasyland | Meet Cinderella and a Visiting Princess at Princess Fairytale Hall | Meet Cinderella and a Visiting Princess at Princess Fairytale Hall | No | No | 2 | If you are a fan of character meets, consider snagging a Genie+ for Princess Fairy Tale Hall.

Magic Kingdom | Town Square | Meet Mickey at Town Square Theater | Meet Mickey at Town Square Theater | No | No | 2 | If you are a fan of character meets, consider snagging a Genie+ to Meet Mickey Mouse at Town Square Theater.

Magic Kingdom | Adventureland | Pirates of the Caribbean | Pirates of the Caribbean | No | No | 2 | Attractions that use boats are notorious for being slow loaders, which means they can develop long lines. Spots for Pirates tend to last for quite a while, so if you want to ride, you may be able to snag a Genie+ spot here later into the day. | First 2 or last 2 hours of the day, or anytime with G+ | Yes | Mid to late afternoon |
Magic Kingdom | Fantasyland | Prince Charming Regal Carrousel | Prince Charming Regal Carrousel | Yes | Yes, but not a priority | No Genie+ | First 3 or last 3 hours of the day | No | N/A | |

Magic Kingdom | Fantasyland | The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh | The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh | Yes | Yes, 2nd level priority | 2 | Fantasyland attractions are notorious for having long lines during the daytime hours.

Plus, the queue is entirely outside, and although parts are covered, if you are traveling during the time of the year when the weather is hot, it can make a lot of sense to use G+ here to avoid waiting in the heat. | First 2 or last 2 hours of the day, or anytime with G+ | Yes | Early evening |

Hollywood Studios | Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge | Millennium Falcon Smugglers Run (38" height req.) | Millennium Falcon Smugglers Run (38" height req.) | Yes | Yes, 2nd level priority | 1 | Although it is less popular than Rise of the Resistance, the lines here can still get quite long.

Hollywood Studios | Toy Story Land | Toy Story Mania! | Toy Story Mania! | Yes | Yes, but not a priority | 2 | Toy Story Mania is one of the few attractions at Hollywood Studios that doesn’t have any height restrictions.

How does park hopping work with Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes?
As long as you have a Park Hopper benefit, you can make Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane selections at different parks.
Remember, you can’t park hop until 2 p.m. (FYI: you can enter each park starting at 1:47 p.m., if hopping), so your reservation must be after this time.
And, to park hop, you must have first visited the park where you held your Park Pass reservation for that day.
You can even make your first selection outside your first theme park if you’d like. But, we don’t necessarily recommend this strategy.
You should really try to make your first selection where you have a park reservation, especially since you have to visit this park before you can hop.
And since you’re able to make your first Genie+ selection at 7 a.m., more than likely you won’t be able to grab a return time for after 2 p.m.
Important note: The exception to that suggestion are popular attractions like Slinky Dog Dash. Because of its popularity, return times here are quickly pushed past 2 pm.
Remember, you can’t select your Genie+ return time, but you can select your return times for Individual Lightning Lane attractions.
Individual Lightning Lane Attractions
Genie+ and pay-per-ride Lightning Lane passes are separate from one another.
They are both built into the Disney Genie system that’s available in the My Disney Experience app, but the Individual Lightning Lane Selections are not included with Genie+.
That means these are sold separately and are pay-per-use, so you pay additional money if you want to use the Lightning Lane to ride these select attractions.
Unlike Genie+ selections, you can choose your Individual Lighting Lane Selection times.
It’s also important to note that once you book an Individual Lightning Lane Selection attraction, you cannot change the time or cancel your booking.
So, when it comes to booking these, you want to make sure there isn’t too much overlapping that it’s impossible for you to get there in time.
Pricing for the pay-to-ride option varies by date, attraction, and park. The daily price will be listed next to each attraction on the day of purchase.
You can purchase up to 2 Individual Lightning Lane passes per day.
You can book both Individual Lightning Lane Selections at the same time. And, as long as you have a Park Hopper ticket, you can make selections at different parks.

Magic Kingdom | Frontierland | Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (40" height req.) | Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (40" height req.) | No | No | 2 | The 3 mountains at Magic Kingdom (Space, Splash, and Big Thunder) are always popular. Big Thunder Mountain’s queue is un-airconditioned, and although it is covered, it can get kind of stuffy, so minimizing your time waiting in it is a good idea (especially when the weather is extra hot) | First hour or last hour of the day, or anytime with G+ | Yes | Mid to late afternoon |
Magic Kingdom | Tomorrowland | Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin | Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin | Yes | Yes, 2nd level priority | 3 | Genie+ runs out late evening | Early Theme Park Entry, first 2 or last 2 hours of the day, or anytime with G+ | Yes | Rarely runs totally out |

Magic Kingdom | Fantasyland | Enchanted Tales with Belle | Enchanted Tales with Belle | No | No | 2 | Enchanted Tales with Belle is a unique attraction, but the capacity isn't great which means the standby lines can really get long.

Magic Kingdom | Adventureland | Enchanted Tiki Room | Enchanted Tiki Room | No | No | No Genie+ | Anytime | No | N/A | |

Magic Kingdom | Fantasyland | Meet Ariel in her Grotto | Meet Ariel in her Grotto | No | No | 2 | If you are a fan of character meets, consider snagging a Genie+ for Ariel because the line here is often quite long, and because she is often not open from park opening to park closing, the Genie+ spots can run out fast. | First 2 or last 2 hours of the day, or anytime with G+ | Yes | Early afternoon |
Magic Kingdom | Fantasyland | Meet Cinderella and a Visiting Princess at Princess Fairytale Hall | Meet Cinderella and a Visiting Princess at Princess Fairytale Hall | No | No | 2 | If you are a fan of character meets, consider snagging a Genie+ for Princess Fairy Tale Hall.

Magic Kingdom | Adventureland | Pirates of the Caribbean | Pirates of the Caribbean | No | No | 2 | Attractions that use boats are notorious for being slow loaders, which means they can develop long lines.

Plus, the queue is entirely outside, and although parts are covered, if you are traveling during the time of the year when the weather is hot, it can make a lot of sense to use G+ here to avoid waiting in the heat. | First 2 or last 2 hours of the day, or anytime with G+ | Yes | Early evening |

Hollywood Studios | Toy Story Land | Toy Story Mania! | Toy Story Mania! | Yes | Yes, but not a priority | 2 | Toy Story Mania is one of the few attractions at Hollywood Studios that doesn’t have any height restrictions.

Epcot | World Nature | Soarin' (40" height req.) | Soarin' (40" height req.) | Yes | Yes, 2nd level priority | 2 | Although Soarin’ remains incredibly popular, it can move a lot of people through, which tends to keep the wait times lower than Test Track, making this the #2 priority when it comes to Genie+. | Early Theme Park Entry, first 2 or last 2 hours of the day, or anytime with G+ | Yes | Rarely runs totally out |
