Is Genie+ Worth It at Disneyland? Tips You NEED TO KNOW in 2022

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
A creator conducts a Genie Plus challenge at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure to determine if the service is worth the cost. The video documents a family attempting to ride every available Lightning Lane attraction across both parks. The creator explains the specific mechanics of Disneyland, noting that users cannot select Lightning Lanes until they have scanned into the park. Throughout the day, the group experiences various attractions, including Space Mountain, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, and Grizzly River Run. The creator also introduces the concept of fiddle battling, which involves constantly refreshing the app to find earlier reservation times. Despite technical difficulties and ride evacuations that resulted in free redemption passes, the family successfully navigates most of the park. The creator concludes that while Genie Plus might not be necessary every single day, it is highly recommended for busy periods like summer to avoid long standby lines. The video ends with the family noting they were able to ride many E-ticket attractions that they typically skip due to wait times.
