"Hey everybody, it's AJ from Disney Food Blog!" Magic to my ears...

[@jackiea8274]

We just got back from Disneyworld and once we used genie + we couldn’t bare not to use it for the rest of our trip. To save so much time with kids in tow was worth every penny for our large group. We also splurged and bought the individual lightning lane for flight of passage-100% worth it for us. I realize not everyone can, but IF you can, it made it so much more fun for us. And in animal kingdom it did come in handy for the amazing shows!

[@richardmercer2337]

Agree re Flight of Passage. I always line up as soon as I enter the park at 9AM, or just don't bother.

[@yugihoo]

Go to water park in morning. And AK in evening and start stacking them at opening

[@GMartin407]

Animal Kingdom is about ebb and flow. Everest and Avatar areas dictate most of the flow of queue times. If one is higher than the other I usually recommend doing things nearer the currently busier ride. Usually the masses push to the lowest wait times on the App and if you head the opposite direction as times are fluctuating you can absolutely get lucky.

This makes me happy about Disney World!

AJ Disney world trip confirmed? 👀 😂 Every time I see vloggers in Disney world with their iPhones and tripods out and about, I always wonder if it’s someone on the DFB team

[@theegg-freebaker8249]

AJ, I legit am doing the exact thing you said about going to Epcot on a Monday and plan to get there around 5 PM! :0

[@abarnhart2001]

Love me some Disney. Will be going in a couple weeks… Never use that yet

[@melinacolon74]

This was very useful! Thank you, I was already thinking I should get it for every park. Save money live better 😅 lol

[@cvisme1234]

Good morning y’all 😄

[@maddog6620]

You are cool 😎

[@penelopepitstop762]

I hate to see what’s considered high prices for tickets. For when we plan to go next February, they are $138!

[@penelopepitstop762]

@Table of 4! wow I don’t think I’ve ever seen it that high!

[@penelopepitstop762]

@Table of 4! well lucky for us, we will be using gift cards we got for free so we’ll be paying nothing. 😁👍🏻 We might even splurge and give Genie a chance to see how we like it.

[@KeyshawnJenkins]

@Its_Us_The_Griffins They hardly hit that $170 too, I normally see them top off at like $145.

[@kellyoyen3421]

It's a good thing that Disney only needs Disney Genie+ in the parks and not in Disney Springs

[@themntraveler5138]

I got genie + for two out of three of us at Animal Kingdom in March and it was a waste of money. My son never got to use it so they refunded us. I only got to use it once. There weren’t any options as they were already used up. 🙁

[@fernandac.pierina3625]

Hey AJ!! Why do you say you don't like It's tough to be a bug and Dinosaur? It's gonna be my first trip in September, I'm starting to plan which rides I wanna go and I just got curious about your opinion on those two 🙂

[@user-mn1rf3xk1z]

I personally think they are FANTASTIC attractions

[@fernandac.pierina3625]

@@user-mn1rf3xk1z I read many good comments about them... That's why I got curious about her opinion. Thanks for your point of view!

[@OK-cb4yu]

@@fernandac.pierina3625 It’s Tough to be a Bug is always one of my highlight’s on any Disney trip. The crowd reaction is usually fantastic and the wait is rarely long. 😁☀️

[@fernandac.pierina3625]

@@OK-cb4yu thank very much for your opinion! I will definitely check it out in September 🤩

[@Cemmccoy0830]

Dinosaur is my favorite ride in Animal Kingdom so I would do that over tough to be a bug but they typically have a lower wait time over every other ride so you should be able to ride both

[@jaidawinzer4669]

[@The_Alexandra_B]

The fact that they now charge for this formerly free service and you can’t even book ahead makes it so inconvenient. Disney needs to get their head out of their behind on this one.

[@delwinalvarez8086]

Best answer, don't use genie. Don't need to waste money on something you don't need to do. Don't fall into Disney's greed

[@aznbreakerboi51o]

While we’re at it, don’t go to Disney World.

[@cjosburn4]

In the $15 price range I think it’s well worth it. Rapids safari and Navi river plus you could do Everest but we also do single rider.

[@cheriecaves]

Nah imma buy genie+ cuz I can…..we can afford to! Speak for yourself….

[@delwinalvarez8086]

@@cheriecaves that's foolish wasting money like that. And you're part of the problem

[@cheriecaves]

@@delwinalvarez8086 foolish mortals!!!! Yes we sure are! My husband and I both make really good money, we stay in deluxe resorts, eat at all the fancy Disney restaurants, do the tours and after hours events and YES we DO get genie +!! You sound really bitter and Jealous….but have a great day 😂

[@jeffaltier5582]

How to use Genie+ in Animal Kingdom? Don't. It will be a total waste of your money. If you're a family of 4 it will be an extra $100 to do the same thing you can do without Genie+. Use the hundred bucks to buy a nice lunch in the park.

[@LazyGoblinGold]

Sorry thumbs down for me. The big issue is that if you are an international traveller and do not have data roaming on. Animal Kingdom does not have the required Wi-Fi for you to use this app. Once kicked off the app for no Wi-Fi you then cannot get back on without a password sent to your email account, you can only get your email on a secure connection and have to travel to a resort. So to keep using the app you now have to go to a cast member every time you want to make a reservation. Disney have this as a known issue; however no one mentions it so doesn’t need fixing.

[@erikstrickland96]

I hope you’re not giving her vids the thumbs down, at least. Disagree with what Disney does fine; but don’t take it out on dfb
