Creator's Key Takeaways

Will the FREE Disney Genie App STILL RUIN Your Disneyland Vacation?

It wasn't too bad. I mean, it could have been better, could have organized things better, but the selection was was okay.

One of the downsides of the Disney Genie app is it has no positional awareness. It doesn't know where you are and it doesn't make recommendations based on where you are.

I'm curious just to see where it recommends that we actually go for lunch, if it even tells us to eat.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Check the Disney Genie app for ride recommendations and follow the suggested order.
✓Use the 'I did this' option to update the app after completing a ride.
✓Plan for lunch early if there is any precipitation, as covered seating fills up quickly.
