Loved the video but wondered if things have changed since you uploaded this video to now. I was able to pay for Genie+ using the Disneyland website while paying for two individual days, that I booked separately, which also was cheaper than bundling two days together. Wondered if your video only pertained to Disneyworld and not Land. Thank you

Yep, you can definitely purchase the Genie plus ahead of time with a one day ticket.

I went as adult, HAD BEST TIME. Now as a parent I dance, sing and laugh with my husband and daughter and we share the best memories❤ Thank you, you are a gem 🥰🥰🥰

Yesterday we took our 7 year old son to Disneyland for the first time. It wound up being a day I will remember for the rest of my life, and a lot of it was due to several of your videos that I watched beforehand. In particular this video on Genie + was so helpful, and provided the backbone for how the day progressed. Thank you so much for helping make yesterday a magical day for my little boy! On a more personal note, my wife found your candor and honestly in this video absolutely enchanting. She watched a couple of your travel videos not even connected to our Disneyland trip just because she loves your personality! Thank you again for helping make our Disneyland trip so memorable!

Other tips from our most recent DL trip are these: 1) Designate one person in your family/party as the Genie+ manager so nobody else has to stress or worry about keeping all these details straight. 2) Don't just give up on your LL reservation if you happen to miss the time window. We got stuck on Jungle Cruise and missed out Smuggler's Run LL window. We almost wrote it off, but decided to go over anyway in hopes of finding a sympathetic cast member. Turns out we didn't even need that, as our LL still scanned even 15 mins after our window "expired"

I did not know about the ride breaking down when you have Genie+. Another tip I learned when having Genie+ is to redeem your ticket within the 1 hr time frame.

Thank you for all the tips Chris, your channel gives me great advice and educational fun!

@lalalauraann Жыл бұрын

My only tip, kind of in line with setting alarms to remind you when to go on to get next lightning lane pass would be alarms to set to go on and mobile order your food, typically an hour before you want to eat. I'm not sure if you have a video on mobile ordering or not but it can be tricky for those who haven't done it yet. And Disney offers amazing options for specific diets and allergies and things so it's great to be aware of that going in.

#1 Indian Jones LL isn't worth it. You just cut out the outdoor line, but not the indoor line (maybe that will change with the renovations). Rope drop that line instead. #2 Wait for at 10am time slot to book your first ride. The first two hours don't have a long wait anyway. Don't wait until 9am to book your first ride. Wait for a 10am LL slot! #3 Make Space Mountain your first LL. It is the most popular Genie+ ride so the LL time slots get late quickly. If you book a time slot for later, you have 120 minutes in the middle of the day with nothing to do. If you book 10am as soon as it's available, you'll have the rest of the day to book other LL. The more popular the ride, the further spaced out the LL will be. Less popular ride have LL available immediately. #4 Use the "modify" feature on the LL. You can change your LL to a different time or a different ride without needing to cancel it first. This is a new feature. EDIT. Book your first ride at 8am but MODIFY to be after 10am.

@sebclot9478 Жыл бұрын

That is pretty much how Indiana Jones has been since the Fast Pass days. But in years past at least, that outdoor line could be insanely long.

Why wouldn’t you book your first LL 8am so you could book the second at 10am?

@mlou4444 11 күн бұрын

@@LCLand Book it at 8am but modify the time until after 10am. Then you can still book another LL at 10am AND book another ride after you use the first one. It’s a way to stack. Using one of your precious LLs in the morning for only a 20 minute wait is essentially a waste of a LL. Chris actually talks about it in his updated Genie+ video.

Glad I took the time to watch this video, as I have never used Genie+ before. It was available the last time I went, but I was by myself and utilized the single rider lines. I was there for 3 days and rode every single ride in both parks without any lightening lanes or Genie+. Thanks for the information, I will likely use it when I go this time for it will be in the Christmas holiday time.

@Kyle7K Жыл бұрын

Thank you! This video helped us start a chain of events that gave us not one, not two, but 3 LL's within a very short time! We came form Iowa, we scheduled the Haunted Mansion and it broke down. Then I remembered this video and started thinking about what we were supposed to do. As soon as the multi location pass came up, I rescheduled the Haunted Mansion. Then, not quite understanding everything ( I haven't been to Disneyland in 30 years, and my GF's first time) we thought it was okay to rush over to Guardians to use the pass there. We scanned and the guy said that the multi pass didn't work there, he showed us in the app where it showed that, then he said "but you know what, come on in anyway." So we still had the original Haunted Mansion waiting for us, we miracled our way into the Guardians LL, and we STILL had our multi location pass to use which we opted for Big Thunder Mountain. It was a great run!

Great video! My family just completed an amazing trip to Disneyland and we fully utilized rope dropping, Genie +, and mobile ordering food. We didn’t have to wait more than 25 minutes for anything (including Peter Pan and all three of the individual LL rides without paying extra or stay at a Disney owned hotel). We always had a Genie + reservation booked at all times-until ready to leave and got to enjoy so many attractions, shows, live entertainment, a photo session with a cast member at Galaxy’s Edge, and the Magic Happens parade. We used a multi experience pass to ride Alice in Wonderland (that either kept going down or had long waits) when the Matterhorn went down, which was awesome! We still got ride the Matterhorn, so we didn’t miss out 😉

(1) as a former child of a parent, he is correct: I don’t and never did remember *anything* special about the rides. I remember my mom and I would always (we had the old school four season pass to Disney world) eat at the same restaurant because I liked the architecture, I remember us *driving to* Disney world and making fun of the radio recording they played on your radio as you drove in, I remember getting to buy my *one* small stuffed animal per trip, and I remember the emotions. I have zero emotional connection to the *rides*. He is sooo right when he says the rides ultimately don’t matter. I mean if you can afford the genie thing then get it, but if you can’t get on a ride, how you react and respond to that can be *fun* or it can be something else. I just wanted to add my two cents. Thanks for reading .
