[@FamilyofWoots]

Thank you so much Chris for making this video! My family always relied on my dad to be our Disney tour guide and so none of us really had to be in the know. But he passed this last year, and we are going now for the first time without him. Your video has really helped prepare us and we love all the dad jokes!! - love whole the Wooten family :)

[@vikingshelm]

Very sorry to hear about your dad. Losing your dad is definitely tough. One thing I always think about when at the theme parks is my dad. We used to go all the time together, so it's almost like a little piece of him is there with me whenever we go back.

[@itsmeehaneen]

So sorry about your loss!

[@thickgirldiaries8874]

As someone who lost their fun loving dad at a young age, I imagine Disneyland will never be the same for you. Sending love your way may he continue to be in your memories as you make new ones 🤗 😇

[@pambesley9910]

I'm so sorry for your loss. 😔 I do hope, however, you guys have a great trip! 😊

[@lulux9795]

My condolences to you and your family. It was a bittersweet experience to visit the parks after my dad passed. I like to go to some of the spots we took pictures together and eat his favorite snacks we would share and go on his favorite rides to celebrate his life.❤️🌸🥰. Sending you a big hug!

[@MoTabulous]

We did Genie + Christmas Eve 2021 with a group of 8 at Disneyland. It was packed with people. We were at the park right at opening time. We were able to get in 6 rides and lunch before 11:30AM, including Rise of the Resistance. By 3:30 we were on ride #12 (Millenium Falcon, Star Wars Rise, Star Tours, Buzz Lightyear, Space Mountain, Indiana Jones, Davey Crockett Canoes, Haunted Mansion, Pirates, Matterhorn, Monorail, Autopia... in that order). I was hesitant at the onset of the day if it would be worth the added cost for the Lightning Lane. Genie + is totally worth it. We will easily get in 18 rides before the park closes. The longest wait was 20 minutes at Indiana Jones because it broke and needed a quick fix.

[@denisegomez298]

I have a question I'm going with friends but we are going to have genie+ separately on our phone would we get the same time frames?

[@joshuacastillo1029]

It kinda sucks that you’re only able to get one lightning lane per ride per day though

We are currently at the parks for this holiday's same as two year party of four, 10 day's from 24th December's to 31st... two years ago with fast pass we were able to ride almost all of the rides, now with genie plus wich i aquire for all four all day's we were able to ride 2, perhaps 3 attraction depending on the park, i book really fast and lighting lane was sold out early on the day, we hate it, won't travel again soon... we had more fun at Universal and we were able to ride hagrids at least 4 times on 3 days of parks at Universal. Bring fast pass back stop the unnecessary charges

[@denisegomez298]

@@marcoruiz8749 it could be because of the holiday, maybe if u aren't going during them they would be better

[@cristaazevedo9489]

We were a family of 4 adults and we did both lightning lanes and genie + on Saturday at DL. It was the best trip ever. My mom turned 73 and she loved not waiting in those long lines. Worth the price for us.

[@SnowFamilyVacations]

Did you have to get there super early to book the Rise one?

[@theaarongarcia]

@@SnowFamilyVacations There is no more virtual lines anymore form Rise. If you want to pay $20 to skip the line for rise you pay for it any time of the day and skip the line. It's like a paid max pass or fast pass.

[@SnowFamilyVacations]

@@theaarongarcia No its not any time of day that you can buy it. The fast pass for Rise can and usually does Sell Out

@@SnowFamilyVacations When I was there last week I was able to book my LL for rise mid day. I had no issues.

[@bpineschi]

OMG I just saw myself in the background of your video. How cool!!! 18:51

[@SimonNewton]

I didn’t see this mentioned in the video, but genie+ also includes the photos from the pro photographers. If you see a photographer walking around or at the designated photo locations ask them to take your photo.

[@chabella69]

Thanks for the tip!

[@nikolefinger1747]

You should also keep track of how much line you get to skip if you use a pass. Like for Indy, you only skip the outside part, so if the wait time says 30-40, probably don't get it. You may not skip anything on that ride when you could've used it on a different ride. I feel like it takes a lot of knowledge and work to get your money's worth!

[@provostparkpass]

Super smart. I like where your mind is at. 💚💙🧠

[@tulinfirenze1990]

Or just use single rider.

[@rjkral]

@@tulinfirenze1990 I went yesterday and used Genie Plus, but wanted to also use single rider for additional rides. They didn't have, curiously enough, single rider for Matterhorn, Space, Splash, or Indy!! I hope that's not a permanent change.

[@amandapanella95]

What seemed to work really well for me was once I scanned my lightning lane at the ride I was going on, I booked another lightning lane right away. Loved using the genie +

[@madisonnapolitano7531]

So glad you did this video. It’s so thorough and easy to understand how to use Genie+. It’s so worth it in my opinion because we have 3 kids! They’re not going to stand around in a long line.

[@rudolphilaga9557]

The way the canoe pun was delivered was so casual and priceless. 😂

[@theaarongarcia]

Also, if you have a lighting lane pass for a particular ride, and the ride breaks down during your window; you're able to redeem that pass for any attraction that accepts lighting lane pass.

[@dahamkariyakarawana2681]

Just a quick question, if I redeem that pass for another ride can I still book a lightning lane for the ride that broke down at a later time?

[@themugglebookworm8799]

I see this being very beneficial for park hopper passes. Do all of the rides in disney before 1 pm and then use up all of your lightening lane passes in DCA for the other half of the day.

[@judithcampo8822]

Thanks for this video. As my Mom's caregiver, this is something I would pass on for now but may consider somewhere in the future. After all of the years spent on needing to get on all of the rides during each visit to the parks, I don't find Genie+ a necessity to buy on each visit. For example, I may want to spend my time going through all of the shops in the parks and maybe take in a ride or two. My younger brother did that to try out the annual pass he got quite a few years ago, before DCA was built, and found that it took him several hours to get through all of the shops and check out what each one offered. I agree with you that a special occasion or out of town visitors would be a good time to consider paying for the service.

[@JacobSmithEngineer]

I would totally buy the Genie +. We haven't been to Disneyland since 2003 and whenever we do get to go someday in the future, we're going to make sure to get the most out of our time.

[@patkelley8404]

I love you guys, my wife and myself loved watching your videos of Disney World. We decided that we were going to go to Disney World for our twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Just a few days after deciding to go my wife of 22 years passed away unexpectedly. We would talk about what we wanted to see and do there. Now I don't know if I will ever be able to go without her. I wanted to thank you guys for giving us enjoyment together watching your videos.

Chris, my wife and I loved running into you and chatting with you on Saturday. Amber loved the video we made for her! My wife and I found Disney Plus to be worth it. It was darn near walk-on for most attractions. I hate giving in and giving Disney even more $$, however it did make for a better experience. I wonder if the near walk-on experience will continue thought, as more people purchase it. Thanks again for being so kind!

i went this weekend and OMG so worth it! we hit 11 rides without even trying with time to spare and we could’ve done more rides but felt fulfilled lol

[@dominicremaro8687]

You could do more with the old system that was either free with fast pass or less expensive with Maxpass. Lighting allows only 1 use per ride. Ridiculous. It’s more $ for less than the old system. I don’t know why people are happy with it. Other than the pandemic has made us all blind to getting less for more.

Enjoyed your youtube video. Party of 8, 3 generations we have been coming for 49 years. We bought Genie +and even though we were ale to get on 3 rides quickly felt like we were on the phone all day trying to get those rides. Sometimes the site was glitching and inaccessible. The stand by lines for almost everything were very long. We were only able to get on 3 rides, some of our party stayed later and were able to do 2 more, it was the most disappointing visit to the Magic Kingdom with the cost of tickets add Genie plus this will impact our future decisions.

I agree genie+ works really well, on Monday my girlfriend and I bought it because we had to leave the park early to drive back to Northern California, so we had to leave by 8. We bought it and noticed all the rides had only 5-10 min standby times and I was feeling like I wasted my money… we ended up going on space mountain, astro blasters(I got my butt kicked) Matterhorn, Alice’s ride all on standby then the ride times started going up and we pretty much walked onto it’s a small world, went back onto space mountain, astro blasters( I won when I remembered your videos tips on scoring), big thunder mountain, Matterhorn, roger rabbits, incredicoaster and the haunted mansion. We also had breakfast at plaza in, lunch at carnation and dinner at lamplight and got to run into Chris Provost at DCA so we had a pretty good experience with Genie+ but we agree we won’t be doing it every time either.

Superb and thorough overview Chris!! I loved my use of Genie + yesterday. I did 36 rides in Disneyland!! One thing I love is most of the day and by far most of the rides have a return time of just 5-10 minutes. So much better than fastpass /max pass where return times were usually 1hr and often up to 2,3 or even 6 hrs later! As such, I rode rides in the morning standby cuz short lines anyway, then could hit them up again with genie when it got busier later. Yes, thirty six rides. PS: idea for a new video: Top fifty worst Provost Park Pass jokes!! (Only issue is keeping the number down to 50!😂😂).

Question- did genie+ allow you to book a ride more than once? I’m seeing mixed answers on vlogger channels!

What does return time mean? Could you clarify? Thanks! :)

[@tylerberman8471]

@@flaviajordaodealmeida8171 when you book a ride, the "return time" is how long until you can scan your barcode. It's the amount of time until your barcode is valid to use during the given time (example: you book a ride at 9:00 am to go on the ride between 9:15-10:15 am. Your "return time" would be 9:15am, when the lightning line is available to you).

@@jackiefitz211 sorry for late reply. You cannot use genie plus for a ride more than once for the day.

@@rjkral And that’s why it sucks. They basically took fast pass and Maxpass away for a far more expensive option that doesn’t let you use it as often. I have no idea why people are happy with lighting pass. It’s horrible. Pay a lot more for less doesn’t seem like a win for consumers. They used the pandemic to ease consumers into paying more for things and getting less for it. From Disneyland to Restaurants and Hotels everything. Less for more. Genie plus sucks period. Maybe it would suck less if you could at the very least use it twice each ride. But once? Weak. Especially seeing as you pay nearly 100 extra dollars for a family of 4. I love Disneyland but the new way they do thing is a bad deal for consumers. The CEO is greedy and doesn’t care about park experience. I take my family wife me two sons for 4-5 days and for what it costs now I could go to Hawaii. To amazing inclusive resorts. Hell maybe even a euro vacation. I didn’t mind but now am rethinking maybe not spending that $ there.

I just use my Disability pass with autism and seizures. I normally go on 17-27 rides each visit in only 10 hours. It’s free I love being disabled!

Use the advantages when you can find them... no crime in that!
