Mastering Genie+: Your Key to Effortless Fun

Are you wondering what all the buzz is about Genie+? Well, think of it as your very own wish-granting genie, whisking you away from long queues and into the heart of the action. And here’s the best part: with a touch of strategic planning, you’ll be savoring every moment with less wait!

Leveling Up: Crafting Your Genie+ Strategy

Hold onto your Minnie ears, because I’m about to spill the beans on some top-notch tips. I’ve sorted the attractions and Disney character meet ‘n’ greets into three priority levels, each like a treasure map leading to your dream Disney day:

Level 1 Priorities: Where the Magic Begins

These attractions and experience disappear faster than Tinker Bell’s flight path! Nabbing a Level 1 spot early is like finding a hidden key to the kingdom. And guess what? If you miss out on one, there’s still plenty of great experiences waiting for you.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure*Opens June 28, 2024
Note: Average Time Genie+ Selection Run Out is not the same as when your return would be. Return times may be later in the day/night.

* At this time there is no data on how quickly Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will run of Genie+ selections. Being a new attraction it can be expected to be very popular early. I would recommend prioritizing this selection over the rest of the Level 1 options. You can also use the Virtual Queue for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Using the Virtual Queue will not utilize a Genie+ selection.

Level 2 Priorities: Twilight Adventures

Think of these attractions as the stars of your evening show. They tend to stick around a bit longer, making them perfect for an evening full of Genie+ wonders.

Level 3 Priorities: Quick Thrills, Nonstop Fun

Hold onto your Mickey ears – these attractions are your secret weapon for squeezing in extra magic between your main events. While they might not be your first stop, they’re a fantastic way to keep the fun flowing all day long.

Navigating the Genie+ Galaxy: Your Magical Blueprint

Feeling a bit lost in the magic? No worries, I’m here to guide you through:

  • Kickstart with a Bang: Your first Genie+ selection should be a Level 1 priority
  • Elevate the Experience: Once you’ve conquered the Level 1s, venture into Level 2 territory for an afternoon and evening of nonstop excitement.
  • The In-Between Magic: If you’re still hungry for adventure, explore the Level 3 options for quick, exhilarating bursts of fun between your main attractions.

If you’re planning to Park Hop in the middle of day, make sure to use the respective Genie+ Strategy guide for your next park. Follow the same process of starting with Level 1 then work your way through to Level 3.

Pro Tips for Seamless Success

Stuck with times that don’t quite match your schedule? Give the Tip Board in the My Disney Experience app a little shake (or rather, a swipe down) on Apple devices. And guess what? You can even fine-tune your return time for an extra sprinkle of convenience! Keep checking back throughout the day, as selection times open up all the time.

Ready to Become a Genie+ Genius?

With this treasure trove of knowledge in your back pocket, you’re all set to conquer Magic Kingdom like a seasoned Disney pro. So, grab your Genie+ pass, embrace the adventure, and get ready to create memories that will shine brighter than Cinderella’s glass slipper!
