The price changes daily and depends on how busy the park is projected to be! On the busiest days we have seen it be as high as $39 per person, and on the slowest days we have seen it be as low as $15 per person. If you want to go to multiple parks, there is a multi park option that is the most expensive, or each individual park has its own fluctuating price.

Hiii! It is a nice area!

And it is a good smoothie, too! 😂

You have to purchase genie + from the My Disney Experience app first. Then you have to book the lightning lanes through the app. You could always try to get the cast member at the entrance of the ride to help you book a lightning lane for the ride but they’re usually so busy getting through the line that it would be difficult, and they would almost certainly not have an available lightning lane right at that time, it would be for a later time. Using the app is the easiest way in my opinion!

Happy to help!

I’ve been thinking about the swamp dog ever since 😫😂 it was GOOD!

No it does not :)

Thank you for commenting! It could really be done either way. If we are gonna be in the park all day, we would most likely opt for getting the early bookings, because like you said, you can get another LL once you scan in. However, if you want to leisurely enjoy your time at the resorts or enjoy other aspects of Disney like Disney Springs, the method we show in the video is perfect. Booking the LL for early in the day in my opinion is more risky because everyone in the parks at that time would be going after the same LLs so I think it makes planning the day out a little more erratic, but still fun either way!

Thank you for watching!

I love your videos. It would be cool to hear more of what you guys think about everything as you go along. Give us your honest feelings. Like the best parts of your videos is when yall are goofing off and being yourselves. 😊

@@julieboo1715 thank you!! We will keep this in mind for our next one!

Thank you so much! I hope you get/got every lightning lane you wanted!!

Hmm not sure what you mean.. you do have to purchase Genie + to reserve lightning lanes, and once you pick each lightning lane, there are separate lines to stand in at each attraction that is shorter than the standby queue

Thank you very much!

Thank you so much!! That’s very encouraging!

@@parkhoppinghaleys I bet I have watched hundreds of hours of other people, and no one has explained it, and SHOWED THEIR ACTUAL PHONES the way you did, and that made so much difference. THANKS AGAIN!!

You are very welcome!!

You’re welcome! Hopefully you are able to secure all your lightning lanes for your next trip 😊

You're very welcome! Thanks for the kind words!

Yep! In the standby line, you absolutely can!

You are so welcome!

Yes! From the home screen of the my Disney experience app, you will click on “my day”. The next screen that pops up will list all the rides you have lightning lanes for. You can just click on whatever ride you want to modify the time for and it will ask if you want to “modify” or “cancel” the reservation for that ride. Click “modify” and it will take you to the screen that gives you the options for all the other rides. Just scroll until you reach that same ride, and see if there is an earlier or later time (based on what you want). If you end up not wanting to change it you can cancel out without losing your original reservation time.

Awesome to hear that it’s helpful!! Remember the earlier you start booking in the morning, the more rides you’ll be able to stack since you can only pick a ride every two hours. Once you pick your first ride at 7am, you can’t pick the second ride until two hours after the park opens (so probably 10 or 11). Then you’ll be able to stack every two hours until time for you to get in the park. And wow I didn’t know Disneyland didn’t do this! We’ve never been to DL before

@@parkhoppinghaleys Thanks again for the tips! This will be our first time to Disney World so we’re very excited. Unfortunately, Disneyland requires guests to first enter a theme park to make lightning lane selections. But once your ticket has been scanned you can get them from anywhere outside the park.

I just went to DL a few weeks ago for the first time, it is sooooo much more manageable (less stressful too!) The wait times weren't bad at all, I didn't feel like we really needed it. They thing that sold me was that at DL photopass is included with Genie+

Nice!! Hopefully this method allows you to get to ride everything you want! Just remember to start picking your first ride as early as possible (7am) because you can’t pick the second ride until 2 hours after park opens, and then every two hours after that. So you can get one at 7am, one at 11 am (if park opens at 9), another at 1, another at 3 and then another at 5pm. 5 stacked lightning lanes ain’t bad for not being in the park til 5pm!

Thank you so much!! That was one of my favorite ones!!

Why are you watching Disney videos if you hate Disney? You should watch videos that bring you joy! Sorry this video couldn’t do that for ya. Have an amazing day!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!! This would actually work REALLY well at Animal Kingdom!

Not sure what you mean, could you explain further please?

You could mean that in a nice way or a mean way.. we hope it was helpful for ya!

Yay!!

It’s 2 hours after that particular park opens

Thanks, and yes that would be super cool!

Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much!! ❤❤❤

Thank you! Animal Kingdom is a GREAT park to do this with. Have an amazing time!

Thank you! There are a lot of factors that’ll go into play regarding how successful this method is. If the parks are EXTREMELY busy that day, there will be more people buying genie + and therefore less options to choose since everyone will be grabbing the available lighting lanes for themselves. I think personally the BEST approach is to be honest with yourself about what you want to ride, what you want to get out of the trip, and plan accordingly. This method in the video will allow you to stack lightning lanes for an evening at the parks while you enjoy your day doing something else (which could be hanging out in the park but not necessarily riding anything yet). You could also use this method to stack rides for later while still waiting in line for other rides that you can’t get a lightning lane for. Do you have a specific park in mind you’re wanting to do? Maybe we can give you some pointers based on what you imagine your perfect park day to be!

@@parkhoppinghaleys Aww thank you! You’re so sweet. We’re planning now and like you mentioned since crowd levels impact how Much you can get done we were thinking of going mid September to Disney world and magic kingdom. I hear though September is still very very hot but supposedly much less crowds?

@@kichvalentine7064we like going in September but my favorite month is probably October, less hot and somewhat less crowded.

Let us know how it works out for you!

You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful!

Not exactly. They made 1 genie+ selection(slinky dog) at 7a then made an additional purchase to buy Rise because it is an “Individual Lightning Lane” ILL’s are not included in G+, hence the “individual” portion of the name. All parks have ILL rides that are not included with genie plus and cost extra on top of genie+. You pretty much need to attend a college course to understand all the nuances of Genie+, lightning lanes, individual lightning lanes, pricing, multiple park Genie+…..etc etc it’s exhausting

@@Tomy_Bruno Hi, Tom. So, I think I can just buy an ILL by itself, I dont need to purchase Genie +... Is that right? Thanks!

Right if you are going to HS and just want to buy Rise, you can without buying Genie+. The caveats to getting a Rise ILL are this. You can buy it starting at 7a if you are staying on Disney property. If you are staying off property you cannot buy it until the park open time. This works for any ILL attraction. Mine Train or Tron at MK, Flight of Passage at AK, or Gaurdians at Epcot We do this with Guardians a lot when we are going to end up at Epcot

Yes Tomy is correct! Once you buy genie+, you can make your first selection at 7am. Your next selection can be made 2 hours after the park opens OR once you check into the first lightning lane you picked. Since we were going later in the day, we were not going to be able to redeem our lightning lanes quickly so we were able to choose a new one every 2 hours, and it allowed us to stack them all in the evening so by the time we got to the park they were all planned out 😊

@@rizz917u can buy lightning lane and that includes a ton of rides but then the really really good rides in high demand you have to pay an additional price

You can buy genie + at midnight on the day you are going to the park. You can make your first lightning lane selection at 7am. Once that first selection is chosen, you have to wait until 2 hours after park opens to make the second selection OR if you choose a lightning lane that is close to time of the park open, then once you scan in and use the first lightning lane, you can immediately choose your next one.

@@parkhoppinghaleys the first lightning I choose at 7 with only genie + is that resort guests only or everyone?

@@parkhoppinghaleyswe were just in Disney too and if we booked a ride using lightning lane for let’s say 5pm we couldn’t book a lighting lane for another ride sooner…..u have to scan into the ride before booking the next. Are you a Florida resident?

@@laurenferguson6389that is for everyone who bought genie +. The only rides that are “off limits” to book at 7 are the “individual lightning lanes” that are a separate price, and only those who have a resort stay can book the individual lightning lanes at 7am.

@@kristine7766yes we are Florida residents but that is the case for everyone. You can’t book your next lightning lane until you either check in to the one you have or until 2 hours have passed. That’s why we set an alarm for every two hours, because we weren’t going to the park until later and weren’t going to be redeeming our lightning lanes until the evening

You can book your first lightning lane before you scan into the parks! Then the next lightning lane can either be booked two hours after park opens, or if it’s later in the day, two hours after you book your first one, OR one or once you redeem the first lightning lane 😊

You can’t book the next lightning lane until u scan into the other ride

So glad to help!!

We are so happy to hear that this was helpful for you. And good luck! Hopefully you are able to score most or all of the rides you’re hoping to get!

So glad you gained something from our video!

You are correct- it is actually lioness! We were hoping she would get the male riled up but he stayed “asleep” lol

Thank you so much! We highly recommend it, it is a great resort!
