Thank you so much, Josh! We put it up on our tv and it looked like a professional Disney video. It was very organized and detailed, and it felt easier to understand. We appreciate this!
When you can only visit Disney World once a year and you want to ride every ride during your short trip, but you have people in your party who can't wait in line for two hours, this is essential. I really appreciate the help!
Thank you Josh for working so very hard on this informational video. It is much appreciated because I feel the pressure to figure this out for my family before our trip coming up. The visuals you have provided makes it so much easier to understand than having just verbally been told in the vlogs. You have knocked it out of the park again Josh!
This is exactly what I was looking for! The visuals are amazing! You’ve helped me to completely understand how Genie+ works. Thank you for going through it step by step. I’ve already gone in a chose my preferences for my park days. I feel a lot more confident about booking those genie+ lanes than I did before watching this. I appreciate all the hard work you put into this, it’s definitely helpful! Looking forward to trying this out in May. Thank you again!!!
The background music absolutely owns me! Takes me back to elementary school in the early 80s! Thank you so much, Josh, for all of your hard work. This will be invaluable on my 2-week trip in April.
Thank you very much, Josh. We are from Germany and will visit WDW in June for celebrate my 50. birthday. You helped us very much to make our holidays better.
This is the best instructional video on Genie+ and LL$ out there. Thank you! I feel like I can handle the new system and put it to good use now. I appreciate the measured cadence and non-flashy graphics, which enabled me to not get distracted. Thanks again!
This is so cool! Everyone should watch this because if you do decide to purchase this last minute in the parks it is very confusing! Thanks for making this video Josh
EXCELLENT Video finally someone clearly explains the use of Genie+ and Lightning Lane passes. I never thought Disney would make so complicated but THANK YOU !!!!!
I wanted to say thank you for this and it's great. My one feedback I would give is that the best part about this is that it's a step by step guide with full screen sharing and I would highlight that in your title or in the description because that's what I found most helpful! I've seen a bunch of videos from others explaining the differences etc but yours takes it 1 step at a time and visually SO helpful so that might help others when they are searching for videos about it! "Step by step guide with screen share" or something ☺️
Thank you so much for this video. You explain it so well. And thank you for describing how to use Genie+ thoroughly without bashing it or comparing it to Fast Pass or anything.
Thanks for the tutorial. I watched it before our trip to the Disney parks last week. We were able to ride so much with minimal wait times. The key is to start early with selections and stack. Thanks again!!!!
Thanks so much Josh for taking the time to make this thorough and informative video! Coming in April for a short vacay and definitely want to grab a LL for Remy. This has really helped me get a grasp on the process! Awesome job 👏🏻😊
Going back to Disney since our trip was cancelled in 2020 and on. My father told me I’ll be the one using the genie app for everyone so this was super helpful, I took notes and everything 😅
This is sure to be a great informative video. But the fact that it's needed shows how far from grace Disney has fallen. I feel for the elderly or those unable to use technology or keep up with the apps and phones. My Grandpa, even with this video probably wouldn't be able to figure it out. Its a totally unfair system to those people.
Question. Can I use my app at 7am to book an individual lightening lane whilst at the same time can my wife reserve our genie plus rides as long as we are both connected in our party on both of our apps?
I totally could have used this in December when I was helping to plan my sister’s visit! Good explanations on how to actually use the app are sooo hard to find! Thank you so much for making this!
This is the only genie plus help video I was able to understand! Thank you for such clear instruction and advice. I feel so much more confident using it when we visit. Grateful!!
Great job! Most importantly is that you do not get the exact time it says.. For example,, I chose 11:00 AM for Ratatouille and got 7:30 PM. I would also like to add that each park has people under a blue umbrella that can help you. They were a big help ! We were there 3 weeks ago and used the verbal hints that you gave on your live streams. Thanks so much.
Will you be updating this at any time? I love to send it to my clients before their trips but noticed there is outdated information on here. I know it's probably difficult to keep up with the changes, but the video is confusing some clients.
Very informative. We are coming in May and I have heard this can be difficult to navigate. I have a question, say you have 2 or more people in your party can one purchase the individual lightning lane ride for the group while another orders the genie plus ride for the same group?
This video is definitely very helpful!! You made genie+ make sense and now i feel very prepared for whenever i go next! Thank you so much for these informative and park hack videos!!
Great video Josh! Very helpful and thorough. Also liked that in did it in portrait mode. Very nicely done and appreciated your expertise with using Genie plus!
Hey Josh- just reviewed your Genie+ video- heading to Disneyland now, so your presentation was very helpful in reminding me how this stuff works. Thanks!!
Thank you for the video. This service was very daunting to me, but your explanation was invaluable! Thank you so much for your hard work. I will share this with others who are going and using Genie services for the first time.
Thanks Josh! Great video and information! We were at WDW Feb 13-17. My daughter took care of Genie+ and scheduling, but I understand it better now. We would not have been able to do as many rides particularly at MK without it. And I was able to ride SDD at HS for the first time! So much fun. I will be re-watching this video before our next trip.
Thanks Josh! This was great information! I did not use Genie + when I was there 2 weeks ago but I was solo and felt I didn’t need it. I’ll be back with 2 friends towards the end of April and will definitely be trying it since they haven’t been to WDW in over 10 years. It was great seeing you in my last trip!
This is very helpful information presented in a step by step format. I used Genie plus during my trip last December and learned the hard way! There were CM at various locations in the parks( green umbrellas )to specifically assist with GP issues. Don’t know if they are still there since the system is older now.
Will the rides you have previously specified you are interested in (like, the day before) show up at the top of the ride options, or will they still be alphabetical? Thank you!
Great video instruction Josh!!!! This was so helpful for me and my sister when we went last week. You were very thorough and detailed. We did have problems with Genie plus because it wouldn't let us book another ride after our reserved ride but only at the two-hour mark instead. And we made sure to scan our magic bands twice in every line that we had a genie plus for. Hollywood Studios reimbursed us for our Genie plus and still gave us rides anytime during the day for our issues. It helped that I took lots of screenshots. The app just seems glitchy and they need to do a lot of work and it's not fun looking at your phone all day and setting an alarm every 2 hours to reserve rides. I'm not the biggest fan of this new process. LOL! 😉
Hey Josh, we are doing our first Disney World Trip in May and our travel package includes plus. Thank you for all the info and don't be surprised if I come back with questions as we get closer to our vacation.
Thanks but entire system blows. Price now $22-$25 for LL and however much Disney thinks they can charge per major new rides. App is poor and always get bounced off my iPhone so need to keep logging back on. Sorry but this will be the last year we buy FL annual passes. We live near Universal so will go there instead.
Thank you so much Josh. This video is amazing. Very informative and made the process so easy to understand. Can’t wait to stack for the park we are hoping to after 2. I will definitely share this on all the mom planning groups.
Watching you on a live stream explaining the stacking rides feature helped me figure this out. I was confused before. I was wondering if you know if you can book your first reservation of the day for a different park than you have your park pass for? Seems like a good way to get a popular ride if you are planning on park hopping later. Thanks for all the helpful info.!
Thank you for this very detailed video of the app. I have been looking for a video on how to use the app and reserve rides for a while. this was very helpful.
Josh…How were you able to stack 5 rides at Hollywood Studios using Genie+? What am I missing? As a resort guest, at 7am you can book your first one, lets say that’s Toy Story Mania at 5pm. Now you have to wait until 2 hours after the park opens to make your second reservation. For this example, HWS opens at 8:30am, that means I can book my second reservation at 10:30am. Let’s say I get that one for 5:30pm. Moving forward I have to wait 120 minutes after each reservation, so if I continue to stack my rides, I have to wait until 12:30pm, 2:30pm and 4:30pm, that’s how I potentially can stack 5 rides. Is this how you did it, or were you able to do it sooner? Please let me know. Thanks!
Great video! I will definitely watch a few times before my visit. Thanks! We are wondering if it is possible for two members of the party to make reservations at 7:00am, one going for individual lightning lanes and the other for the Genie plus passes. Have you tried this? Thanks again for the great video!
Great video - exactly what I was looking for ! So you are able to book at 7 for genie plus from their hotel if Disney hotel? Also if more than one person in your party , could one person jump online to book the individual lightning lane while the other books genie plus or no?
Thank you very much for this video, it definitely makes more sense now. I’m just praying that we are able to book the rides we want! Our main reason for visiting is to experience Galaxy’s edge and Rise of the Resistance. Do you, or any other viewers have any tips for getting a LL if you are staying off site?!
Thanks Josh!!! So glad i found you and your channel!! Quick question for ya - I currently have the newest edition of the my genie app / Disney 50th logo on both my ipad and iphone… HOWEVER!! I have an iphone 7 and I’m wondering if you know of any issues that may or have risen for ppl like me who don’t want to let fo of their tried and true old iphone. I will be at the parks next week and this will be my first time since fastpast days!! Any insight helps and thanks again!!
Thank you guys for this video. It is a shame that the actual Disney company does not have a genie + tutorial as good as this. Can’t wait for my WDW family trip this November!
The app proved itself for our family of seven. We were better able to secure rides for each section of the park instead of having to run from one side of the park to another. "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes , we'll you just might find you get what you need" - The Rollingstones
Watched your video and very informative. We have purchased genie plus for all 7 of us but the video only showed how to and where to purchase. When we go to book our rides will it already know in the app that we all have genie plus
Hi! We will be using genie plus for the first time this august for our family vacation. This video was super helpful! I just had one question that I didn’t hear covered in the video.. can two people be logged in to the same my Disney experience account and one get an individual lightning lane attraction while the other person on the other device get the regular genie plus reservation at 7am? I noticed you said to get the ILL attraction first and then go back and do the reg genie plus one but I didn’t know if it was possible to do both at the same time! Thanks :)

The visuals you have provided makes it so much easier to understand than having just verbally been told in the vlogs. You have knocked it out of the park again Josh!
Thank you! It’s not hard once you do it a few times.
Thank you, Josh, for making this confusing process so much simpler! ResortTV1 comes through again!!!
This is exactly what I was looking for! The visuals are amazing! You’ve helped me to completely understand how Genie+ works. Thank you for going through it step by step. I’ve already gone in a chose my preferences for my park days. I feel a lot more confident about booking those genie+ lanes than I did before watching this.

I can see why you are a teacher. Making the inexplicable explicable. Thanks again.
The background music absolutely owns me! Takes me back to elementary school in the early 80s! Thank you so much, Josh, for all of your hard work. This will be invaluable on my 2-week trip in April.
Thank you very much, Josh. We are from Germany and will visit WDW in June for celebrate my 50. birthday. You helped us very much to make our holidays better.

Going back to Disney since our trip was cancelled in 2020 and on. My father told me I’ll be the one using the genie app for everyone so this was super helpful, I took notes and everything 😅
HOLY CRAP! You need a PHD to figure this out!
I'm planning my visit and this helped me A LOT. I'm not confused anymore and I'm ready to book everything!! thank you!!
Yes, Josh…I echo the positive comments here. That was a great explanation and seeing it being used live in the app was very helpful. Thanks!
This is sure to be a great informative video.
But the fact that it's needed shows how far from grace Disney has fallen.
I feel for the elderly or those unable to use technology or keep up with the apps and phones. My Grandpa, even with this video probably wouldn't be able to figure it out. Its a totally unfair system to those people.
Also that it costs money when a year ago fast pass was free. But like you said very informative and great job by josh non the less
Awesome explanation and I appreciate you recommend watching it again to get the hang of it. 🎉🎉
Thank you! I feel so much more prepared! Will watch a few more times before my trip in April.
Question. Can I use my app at 7am to book an individual lightening lane whilst at the same time can my wife reserve our genie plus rides as long as we are both connected in our party on both of our apps?

That’s a great tip. They don’t reserve the times for you. They need to fix that. It’s insanely frustrating.
Will you be updating this at any time? I love to send it to my clients before their trips but noticed there is outdated information on here. I know it's probably difficult to keep up with the changes, but the video is confusing some clients.
Thanks so much Josh! This is very informative, thanks for taking the time to explain all of this in a very organized, understandable way!
Thank you very much for your points. I hope Disney will change this method as it's making our trip to Disney quite stressful instead of joyful.
I totally understand!
Thank you for making this. I spent forever on the official Disney page and couldn’t find any info this good
Very informative. We are coming in May and I have heard this can be difficult to navigate. I have a question, say you have 2 or more people in your party can one purchase the individual lightning lane ride for the group while another orders the genie plus ride for the same group?

Will totally watch this again, its a lot to learn, but you did a great job , thank you Josh!
Thanks guys!!
Great video thank you, from a complete novice to Genie plus (first visit since 2009 next month!) this has helped me a lot :)
Thank you so much for this..I do miss those halcyon days when I DIDN'T have to lug my cellphone around with me on park days..
Hey Josh- just reviewed your Genie+ video- heading to Disneyland now, so your presentation was very helpful in reminding me how this stuff works. Thanks!!
Wow Josh! This was super detailed and excellent! I think I actually get it. 🤔 Thank you so much!
Very helpful & informative video explaining the process. It can be confusing and you broke it down nicely. Thank you!👍🏻👍🏻😀
This is great, Josh! I am going to watch this video many times before our trip to get a grasp on this new system.
Thank you for the video. This service was very daunting to me, but your explanation was invaluable! Thank you so much for your hard work. I will share this with others who are going and using Genie services for the first time.
Very helpful and thorough. All the hard work you put into this is very appreciated!!
Thankyou! If I hadnt watched this I wouldnt have had my genie plus set up ready to go in two days!
Thanks Josh! Great video and information! We were at WDW Feb 13-17. My daughter took care of Genie+ and scheduling, but I understand it better now. We would not have been able to do as many rides particularly at MK without it. And I was able to ride SDD at HS for the first time! So much fun. I will be re-watching this video before our next trip.

Thanks Josh! This was great information!

There were CM at various locations in the parks( green umbrellas )to specifically assist with GP issues. Don’t know if they are still there since the system is older now.
They were there this past week. We wondered why. I guess due to GP.
Makes sense now.
Thanks! That’s a great tip about the CM’s under the umbrellas.
Will the rides you have previously specified you are interested in (like, the day before) show up at the top of the ride options, or will they still be alphabetical? Thank you!
Watched! Thank you Josh! Great information. I'll be watching again and taking notes!
this was so helpful! Genie+ confused me when it first came out but i’ll definitely be prepared for my trip in october. thank you!
Well that will give the adults something to do while the kiddies go on the rides, just like Walt wanted.😀💕
Very helpful! First time using these new services
Great video! For resort guests, which do you think is more important to book first, the Genie+ selection or the Individual Attraction Selections?
That was the best informative video I have seen on Genie+. Thank you so much.

Can't wait to watch ty 4 doing this!👍🙏❤
Very, very good info!! I'll be sharing this with lots of friends!! Thank you!
The magnum opus. Thanks for your helpful video, Josh.
By far the most helpful video I’ve seen! Thank you!!
Thanks Josh! Great video! I sent video to my two sons. It makes it more easy to understand.
Thank you so much Josh. This video is amazing. Very informative and made the process so easy to understand. Can’t wait to stack for the park we are hoping to after 2. I will definitely share this on all the mom planning groups.
This was a great straightforward genie plus video!
Good to know! Thanks for the info and your hard work Josh 🏅👏🏼!!
Great job on the video. It helps to see the process on booking the genie plus.
Thanks for the details shared.
Great video Josh. We may attempt to use this for the first time when we take my mother-in-law to MK in a couple of weeks for a day.
Thanks! This has been the best tutorial I've found!

You can if you have park hopper tickets and you have to make the ride reservation for after 2pm.
Yep! You definitely can, and the other commenter is correct. Thanks for watching!
@@ResortTV1 Does anyone know if the same applies for an Annual Pass? I didn't see how we could book for a different park?
@@rebekahsalguero3529 in the video I show how to change the park you’re booking for.
Thank you for the info. Really cleared things out.
Thank you for this very detailed video of the app. I have been looking for a video on how to use the app and reserve rides for a while. this was very helpful.
Glad it helped! Thanks!
Great video Josh! Who knows if I’ll ever use. My husband is refusing to spend the extra money for our family of 5.
Yeah… I get that. It definitely helps, but I understand the frustration.
Josh…How were you able to stack 5 rides at Hollywood Studios using Genie+? What am I missing? As a resort guest, at 7am you can book your first one, lets say that’s Toy Story Mania at 5pm.

Is this how you did it, or were you able to do it sooner? Please let me know.

Thanks - going next month. Very useful info!!
Great video! I will definitely watch a few times before my visit. Thanks!
We are wondering if it is possible for two members of the party to make reservations at 7:00am, one going for individual lightning lanes and the other for the Genie plus passes. Have you tried this?
Thanks again for the great video!
Great video, Josh. Very helpful and useful. We are going to watch a few times before going down in September.
Thanks Josh- this is a great video and it answered all of my questions!

This is super helpful, thank you Josh!

Very well done. Great information. Thanks for putting it out
Thanks!
Hi! We will be using genie plus for the first time this august for our family vacation. This video was super helpful! I just had one question that I didn’t hear covered in the video.. can two people be logged in to the same my Disney experience account and one get an individual lightning lane attraction while the other person on the other device get the regular genie plus reservation at 7am? I noticed you said to get the ILL attraction first and then go back and do the reg genie plus one but I didn’t know if it was possible to do both at the same time! Thanks :)
Very informative! Nice work!
The was a great video. Thanks for Sharing and bringing us along. ❤️🎄👋
You are so welcome!
How many ILL can you book per day? Is there a wait time between them like Genie+?
