Editorial Summary

Creators Jenna and Josh from Resort TV1 host a live stream at Magic Kingdom to document the debut of Disney Genie Plus and Lightning Lane services. Accompanied by their nephew Liam, the creators navigate the new system to provide real-time feedback on its functionality and value. They explain the distinctions between the free Disney Genie service, which provides ride recommendations, the paid Disney Genie Plus service for scheduled Lightning Lane access, and the individual Lightning Lane purchases required for high-demand attractions like Space Mountain and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Throughout the stream, the group tests various rides including Peter Pan's Flight, Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin, and Pirates of the Caribbean. They observe that the system allows for efficient movement between attractions, though they note potential glitches and the necessity of adhering to specific reservation times. The creators conclude that while the additional cost is a consideration, the service effectively reduces wait times and enhances the park experience, particularly for families on vacation.

Creator's Key Takeaways

so far I'm liking it today I mean I don't think we'll do it every day but I think if I was here for just a couple days with my family I would do it for sure

I would 100% buy it 100% if you are only here one day I would totally do it again

we've done two rides with the lightning Lane and within an hour we booked another one and we're heading there right now

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a battery for your phone because when you use the app this much you're going to need a battery
If you're only at the park for one day, Genie Plus is worth it
