Rides I rode via Lightning Lane are noted. Unless otherwise noted, you can assume the Genie+ selections were made one after another, or about 15 minutes before the return time. Here’s a schedule from an actual day I spent at Magic Kingdom using Genie+ and an individual Lightning Lane for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Instead, you’ll probably start at Jungle Cruise, taking care of the other most popular ride on Genie+.Ī Sample Visit to Magic Kingdom With Genie+ Without Early Entry, you won’t be able to start your day there. If you don’t have Early Entry, we recommend picking Peter Pan’s Flight with your first Genie+ pick. Picking something else means you’ll likely have an earlier return time, which allows you to make your second Genie+ pick sooner (as long as that earlier return time is less than two hours before the park opens). The point here is that Peter Pan’s Flight is an incredibly popular first pick, so getting an early return time is tough. Space Mountain is a fine pick as far as rides go, but you might also pick a character greeting if those are appealing to you. We prefer to start with Peter Pan’s Flight, leaving our first Genie+ pick for anything else. If you have Early Entry and you are buying the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Lightning Lane, you will be able to visit either Peter Pan’s Flight or Space Mountain at rope drop, and you’ll probably be able to make it to Jungle Cruise when that ride opens. So your first pick doesn’t have to be the most popular (Jungle Cruise), other factors can and do come into play. There’s really no loss in having to wait longer to ride your second pick once all your choice are giving times more than two hours away (of course, you could always just book, say, Mad Tea Party for 9:10AM at 9:05AM, but that’s a whole different approach). At 9:05AM she taps in and immediately books Jungle Cruise, which is now giving return times at 2PM.Įmily has to wait longer to ride her second Genie+ pick…but who cares? Since both times are more than two hours away, both Emily and Kenny can make their third Genie+ picks at 11:05AM, two hours after they made their second picks. On the other hand, Emily books a 9AM time for Peter Pan’s Flight. He taps in at 9:05AM and immediately books Peter Pan’s Flight, which is now giving return times at 12PM. Let’s say at 7AM, Kenny books a 9AM (park opening time) time for Jungle Cruise. Here’s a quick example to illustrate a point… The first thing to understand is that you don’t have to make your picks in order of popularity. What Genie+ Reservation should I grab first at Magic Kingdom? Because of how the two hour rule works, it doesn’t matter at this point whether you get a return time of 2PM or 7PM, so there’s no harm in waiting a few more seconds to make your Genie+ pick. Second, once you’re done with the virtual queue, by the time you get to making Genie+ picks the times for the top rides are going to be in the afternoon. First, you can always work around a sub-optimal first Genie+ pick, you can’t work around an Individual Lightning Lane that completely sells out-it’s just gone. Historically there’s just been no risk to waiting, and we think even a small chance at a slightly better first Genie+ time is worth prioritizing Genie+.īut there’s a good case for prioritizing the Individual Lightning Lane. We recommend making your first Genie+ pick before your Individual Lightning Lane purchase based on the fact that Individual Lightning Lane times are almost always still available by 7:05AM. In truth, most days it won’t matter in which order you do these two things as long as you’re moving at the speed of a reasonable adult. If you’re a Disney resort guest who is planning to buy the TRON Individual Lightning Lane, we recommend doing that after you make your first Genie+ pick.
