Overall Thoughts on Disney Genie+ and Tips to Make it Smoother
- The Genie+ is worth it
- The individual upgrade is worth it if you really want to ride the ride – especially for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
- Set an alarm so you can book the next ride slot
- Paying additional for the individual ride experience can save you about 2 hours on a busy day
- Genie+ can be booked at 7 am if you stay at a Disney resort or upon park entrance for those staying off property. Know that individual ride experiences will be sold out if you do not stay on property.
