  • First booking of Individual Attraction Lighting Lane Offsite = park opening time, next booking of Lighting Lane 2 hours after park opening OR when first Lighting Lane used
  • Genie+ Lighting Lane Stacking can be done
  • Genie+ Lighting Lane pass is once per ride per day, if you want to go again on that ride, you will have to join the standby line
  • If a ride goes down and you have either booked or paid for an Individual Attraction, you will get an anytime pass for that ride
  • The touring plan gets up dated according to your location and the info you input such as dining reservations and must do rides
  • Pay once for Genie+ and use across all parks in one day as long as you have a park hopper ticket and a park reservation
  • Individual Attractions can choose a specific time for Lighting Lane Return depending on availability
  • Rides included in Genie+ choose next available time Lighting Lane Return depending on availability
  • No cancellations of Individual Attraction Lighting Lane, use it or lose it
  • Genie + Lighting Lane can be cancelled
  • No cancellations of Genie + Lighting Lane passes, if the window has opened, either scan it and don't ride or wait it out until next pass available
  • You can only pay for 2 Individual Attractions Lighting Lane passes in one day. That’s across all parks i.e. you’ve paid for Space Mountain and Mine Train at Magic Kingdom so you can’t make a third for Flight of Passage in Animal Kingdom.
  • You don't need to buy Genie+ to buy Individual Attractions Lighting Lane passes. You can just use the free Genie touring plan and buy 1 or 2 Individual Attractions Lighting Lane passes in a day
Excellent work!

Perhaps you might want to create a DIBB Guidebook page for this, update it as more info comes along, and then point people towards the guidebook page?

(Although I get the impression that very few people actually use the guidebook).

Just to add about the Dev video. First day of Genie+ and he didn’t even download the app until 10.15am, you could see it in the video. People had been making selections since 7am. I understand he wanted to see what it would be like making selections later in the day, but first day? Never going to be realistic. I like Dev but think he should have done this after it had been running a few days,

I'm shocked that neither Dev or Rick knew that you could book from park opening and that you didn't need to be in the park.

Surely they should be on the ball and figured all that out

I was right about Tim tracker, he hasn't posted a vlog about genie yet

Do we know if you can book G+ reservations in 2 parks simultaneously?

Say I had a park reservation for Epcot, but planned to hop to HS in the afternoon. Could I book an afternoon pass at HS (like SDD as they seem to go early), then when I get to Epcot for park opening start using it there? Then later hop to HS, use my SDD pass and book more there afterwards?

Watching Super Enthused you tube video and was impressed how it worked and how easy it was to book attractions. Now planning on doing Disney parks I would really only use it once for each park with maybe park hopping on another day. I can see this been offered to hotel guests and maybe over seas guests as they will want to keep you inside the Disney bubble.

I’m not sure but I would suspect no. I’d think you’d need to wait 2 hours after park opening (the one you have a reservation for) before you could book a second one.

It looks bad on Superenthused’s video. She didn’t seem too impressed to me.
Waits to get the LL seem too long given you are paying. Of course if you pay another $10 each plus tax (nope) for Mine Train there’s good time options. And then it’s trying to get you to pay extra. From what I’ve seen so far, I’ve been far from impressed. Let’s hope it improves- and quick. Currently free Fastpass looks better. And my worry is it looks like you have to be constantly on the phone.

I love being on my phone but when I have paid thousands to be at Disney, its the last thing I want to do.
