Creator's Key Takeaways

I've got a book as many lightning Lanes as I can for a huge family that is coming here this is their one and only day in Magic Kingdom

I see mostly the same return times for most of the rides but for those key attractions it is a lot harder to grab better times when you're a large party of nine

I would say the takeaway from this is if you are a party larger than four I would strongly consider breaking into smaller groups to tackle those big rides

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Break your group into smaller groups of four or less for better lightning lane availability
✓Use the two-hour rule to book next lightning lane while in line
✓Be flexible and use standby queues while modifying existing lightning lanes
✓Book a 'right now ride' to avoid wasting time while waiting for better options

YouTube Video Description↓

Usually in our Disney Genie Plus videos, we’re booking for a group of one or two - but what if you’re coming with a group of nine or more people? Today we’re hitting Magic Kingdom on one of the busiest days of the year to find out how much a large party can realistically get done with Disney Genie Plus. We filmed this week’s video at the height of the holiday season on December 30 – one of the busiest days of the year at Walt Disney World. It’s also a day when Magic Kingdom stays open until 1am, meaning EVERYONE was hopping into Magic Kingdom to take advantage of those extra hours. To make matters even more difficult, I quickly learned that one of the things I THOUGHT I knew about the Genie was 100% wrong. Make sure your seat belts are fastened and keep your hands, arms, feet and legs inside your seat at all times because we are off on one of our wildest Disney challenges yet!
