The SECRET to Using Genie Plus in Disney's Hollywood Studios

[@laurasmith-brese2729]

I love when you all do challenges that really relate to the challenges the average or even new Disney parks visit experiences!

[@beccac6812]

I’d love to see a video of a day in all the parks without thrill rides / rollercoasters (I have a cousin who is autistic who can’t handle them, would also be nice for people with little kids / disabilities / fears that make thrill rides challenging )

[@breezywithkids]

Honestly my son only liked the parades 🤦🏼‍♀️ he hated all the rides he was even terrified of the Pooh ride that he was really excited to go on 😩 it happens… he didn’t like any of the characters, but he did like watching the parade from a distance lol his favorite part of vacation in general was the big blue pool at art of animation and the waterslide at Riverside he’s a water kid lol! My son is not autistic, but he does have sensory issues, and it definitely made things challenging.

We love the Disney Junior Dance Party! We hope it gets updated soon to meet the newer stars of Disney Junior. I can't even fathom the reaction of my daughter if Bluey and Bingo ran out on stage! -R

Wow you look amazing in overalls:)

What makes tower of terror better than other drop rides is it’s completely restrained and indoors.

I was there just last week with the family. We got early entry (stayed at the Drury Plaza => I'd definitely recommend), and Genie+. At 7 am booked Slinky Dog Dash for around 9 ish. Got to park and rushed to Rise of the Resistance. Was next in line to go into the actual ride and it got shut down. Luckily, we got a Lightening Lane because of this. We walked back to Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway and waited less than 15 minutes. First time on ride and it was pretty nice. Did all the major rides (minus Rock N' Rollercoaster due to being closed the entire day) before 12:30. Used Genie+ for Tower of Terror, Alien Saucers (don't recommend this ride unless you have very little ones), Toy Story Mania, Smugglers Run, Rise of the Resistance and Slinky Dog. We were going to come back later in the day, but ended up going back to the hotel and enjoying the pool. Depending on what you're into, Genie+ might not actually be worth it. If you can get early entry, you can knock out 3 rides pretty quickly depending on what area you're in.

geez. spent all that money to hang at the pool most of the day.

[@simplemanchannel3318]

@savage1005 We got the 4 day park pass (not park hopper) for the week. So we saved money on that. And since it wasn't our first time visiting, we were ok. It may have been later than I said, but don't exactly remember now. I also had a very swollen knee. So walking a lot was tough. Either way, we had a good time.

[@lovestodive1879]

Love these challenges even though I don't use Genie+ and don't try to do everything.

Hi Emma! I loved being able to say a fast hi to you and fry bucket at Hollywood Studios Thursday night. You guys definitely helped me have the perfect day, thank you for all your hard work!

[@ambernd1930]

I know I am suppose to be learning tips and tricks for genis plus but Emma the Muppet bibs are the best!!❤❤ As always enjoy the videos, my family and I love watching

[@stevenflood9474]

Emma has grace

[@travelertrome8449]

A friend of mine is going to Disneyland next month and was already able to buy her Genie+ for her scheduled visit! I was surprised. I guess rules are different for Disneyland.

[@goodcomments8479]

Got to be Crazy to visit Florida in August, way too hot index. Painful outside

[@JustD4309]

All ears is the best

[@randomuser_one]

Great video Emma! How many steps/miles did you log that day?😅 You do an excellent job with your solo videos; very enjoyable! Thanks!

[@Kreischer91]

Random question… what are the pros and cons of Apple Watch vs. magic band

[@spang4775]

In our upcoming trip our arrival day is also our Hollywood Studios day. We have a super early flight but probably still won't make it there till noon, so it's gonna be the only day we're planning on using Genie+. Really excited to use some of these tips!!!!!!

[@lukesart]

Have fun! Chances are you already know this but I figured I would let you know just in case! At 7am (rather you're at the park or not) you can already make your first lightning lane. You can make that, and keep stacking them every two hours until noon. You can have multiple lightning lanes already queued up to ride like 3 rides when you get there at noon with lightning lanes! :D

[@spang4775]

@@lukesart Thank you for the info!! I'm hoping to stack, we'll be in the air at 7 a.m. so fingers crossed the wifi holds up for me!!!

[@lukesart]

Goodluck!! fingers crossed 🤞😂

[@lukekoenders7]

Cool video 😊

[@breezywithkids]

Idk… when we were there last year we didn’t think we needed a lightning lane for Olaf it said 10 mins. We got in line and well we waited 40 mins! My kids were screaming and miserable. Same thing happened in Epcot with living with the land it said 10 mins we waited 40! Someone wasn’t doing their job lol! But it looks so much easier to get and modify lightning lanes now I don’t see us waiting at all. We only waited for 3 things last trip so this trip I’m hoping we won’t wait at all. Last year we only got slinky, rise, and smugglers run… after that all the lightning lanes were gone for the day! We waited for muppets, Disney junior dance, and frozen sing a long but they were walk ons and we waited for Olaf like I said…. We waited all day to get others but nothing opened up. It looks so much easier now thank goodness!

[@chrisc6867]

Is there a tick-tock write up on each of times you checked in to your selected LL and the LL you then chose? The video break down is very helpful but after the first LL and Individual LL, I lose track of your timing on each subsequent selection. Thanks!

[@jefffletcher8761]

My wife is a Loki fan. Where can I get the Loki water bottle?

[@charlottedobson1638]

This seems more like a “how not to use genie+” video. Why do these challenges when you’re doing things that people shouldn’t use LLs on? Seems useless

[@charlottedobson1638]

Wait but if your first LL is at 11:30 you can book another at 11 and then another after you tap in for your LL

[@gt0713]

Thanks for the video! I have a question and would like to ask for some advice. I’m going in fall (October) to all 4 parks and a Mickey’s not so scary a Tuesday in Magic Kingdom. ¿Do you have any advice or guide as to which rides you guys would suggest we use Lightning lanes during the fall season in each park so we don’t waste them? Thanks a bunch 🙏🏻

[@vincent412l7]

Did Kermit like the Muppets coveralls?

[@Maureen_Kathy]

Just wondering why you included Rise since that is individual lighting lane not part of genie+ ?

[@MrMaxRebos]

Why didnt you modify the slinky ride to get on earlier?

[@huniibear16]

Random: You all may have answered this question before but if you stay at a universal resort are you allowed on property of a disney resort for restaurants and or activities?

[@huniibear16]

I know you can't use the pool but what about other activities

[@daphne3486]

Anyone can visit a Disney resort for the day, however some resorts are picky about needing a reservation for a restaurant to park at the resort (so people dont park for free then go to the parks instead of visiting the resort like they said). So to be safe I would make a reservation for a restaurant, show the security guard your reservation and they should let you park at the resort (there isn't a time limit usually, so you'll have time to shop, explore and enjoy the other amenities/activities other than the pool like you mentioned).

[@darleneandmoisesdiaz1248]

What do mean ropes drop?

[@jaytm365]

Arriving to the parks before opening

[@sarahdownie4727]

And all the genie plus tips go down the drain when half the rides are down due to rain.

[@xatuyou8045]

It has been around for under 2 years so it hasn’t been plaguing for years.

[@strawberrii1425]

Im litterally in hs with genie+ right now 😯

[@lukesart]

LUCKY!

[@cpb0002]

The real question is..WHERE IN THE WORLD DID YOU GET THE MUPPET OVERALLS?
