Great video Chris, this should help many people with this confusing system... With that said, a recent change was made regarding ride breakdowns and the multi experience pass you get instead. Super confusing, but rides are now tiered. So if a lower tier ride breaks down (monters inc) your multi experience pass woudlnt work on higher tier rides (indiana jones). Another pro move is using LL modify to check for earlier windows of the same ride. Dont need to switch to a different ride.
We are heading to the park at the end of June, and the one thing is will say about the Genie + LL is that I am not a fan about the 1 time use for each ride per day. I remember max pass would let us Fast pass a ride as many times as we wanted per day for the same price
After being a Subscriber for 6 years now ... I finally got to meet you in person this last Wednesday while you were entering the park with your parents! Appreciate the hug! It's always awesome when people are as genuine in person as they are on camera! Thanks for being You!
I don't have kids but that last segment about how its the time spent together that we'll remember...thank you for the reminder. I'm over here going planning crazy for my family to make sure we go on everything since we haven't been in years, but that made me stop and think "wow, we're going to all be at Disneyland together having fun." And thats truly what its about. Thank you Chris!
Disneyland opened when I was 4 years old (yes, I remember the ticket books and know the true meaning of an E RIDE!). We took both our kids for the first time on their 4th birthdays. Now we finally planning a trip for our 5 year old grandson. We used to live in SoCal and a trip to Disneyland just meant getting up early and driving to Anaheim for the day and running from ride to ride and now it is so complex!! Really appreciate videos like this that will help us plan our two days. And thanks for you comment at the end about family - we have so many happy memories of trips to Disneyland through the years.
This is the best advice. We took my then four year old soon to be five year old and did not stress about the rides. We let him guide us and it was less stressful.
What great times we had back in the fast pass days! Now I will only visit non-peak, hit the high demand rides first thing or last thing, and take my time to enjoy myself the rest of the day.
That’s how I became a Disney fan…for the kids. The pure excitement and energy just makes it so special. And now I want to take them to Disney Tokyo and Paris!!!
I want to thank you for your messages and positivity! Especially when you tell us how wonderful and special we are. It really does put a smile on my face and is very much appreciated!
It’s been 20 years since I last visited the parks. I’ll be going next week, solo. I plan on taking it all in at my own pace. Thank you so much for this video!
I went last year for, the first time in six years. I went with friends who are annual pass holders and really knew Gennie Plus, so they handled everything and I had a great time. I want to take my wife next year, Disney's 70th Anniversary. I told her how great Gennie Plus was and that I could figure out how to use it. Wow, I did not know all the secrets, thanks, Chris, for the tips.
These are all very solid tips. We had our very first trip in March & after watching a lot of TH-cam videos from various sources our Genie+ experience was great! I was very nervous it was going to be a nightmare, but it wasn’t. Take note of all these hot tips!!
Disney has warned that any guest found to have falsified their need for DAS will face permanent bans. The company stated, “Guests found to have made false statements to obtain DAS will be banned from Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort. Additionally, any passes, tickets, or other purchases will not be refunded.”
We visited the park in 2022 for four days and I can't recommend Genie+ enough! One thing to add for parents with little ones is that if someone can't ride, you can use lightning lane twice for up to 3 people. For example, we were 2 adults, a six year old, and a three year old. The rides where my three year old couldn't ride we would let them know BEFORE they scan your pass, One adult and the six year old would ride... then the other adult and the six year old could ride again. On our last day we had 2 more adults join us and one of those adults could also ride a second time. Thats what I mean by up to 3 people. We used the method described at 12:55 and its a lot easier than it sounds. The first day we spent at Disneyland and we rode over 20 rides. At one point we spoke to another guest, we had done 15 rides and they had only done 5. We didn't feel like we had to rush or run around. It makes your vacation more enjoyable.

@joe-du4kx Im not sure what you mean? My comment is not referring to DAS pass. Im referring to when a child is not tall enough to ride. This is standard practice to allow the second parent to ride. I was just sharring that you can use the Genie+ for the second parent also. 🙂
Wow 👏🏼👏🏼 you were so informative and helpful. I feel like I know how to use genie+ already 😂 thank you for your kindness 🎉 this is one of the best videos about Disneyland tips I've seen! Thank you again!

I can’t tell you how much I LOVE your videos. The info is great but even better are your little tidbits of wisdom and care! This one about enjoying the time together over how many rides really hit me. As a 23 year kindergarten teacher it rang SO true! Ty ty ty
It's insane that the same business that made a ton of money and a lot of people happy selling tickets and a free fast pass system also invented something that almost all customers hate and makes them unhappy. This is a unique characteristic of companies that are very large and have a protected moat. Chris - I have a message for you, come here close. I really like your messages to the viewers. I appreciate all the time you put into them and you sir, are a very special person that matters to a lot of us. Thanks! ❤
Super helpful video. I'm heading down to Disneyland soon & this video provided me some really great pointers on Genie+ & how to make the most out of it. Appreciate You & have a Great Day.
Going in June. Watched yours from last year last night. Got these tips just in time. So confusing. And I had a pass for 20 years! Never had to learn how to go to Disneyland! 😅
I’m watching from New Zealand, so this is great information. I visited 2023 so am still feeling severe Disney withdrawals, so I watch your videos to help me through it 😂. I was wondering if you could do some tips for international visitors? Like Can we use get away today? What is the best way to get from LAX to Anaheim, and Anaheim to universal? Is Disneyland and Anaheim pretty safe at night for female solo travellers? Love your videos! Often the highlight of my day ❤

Chris I did this in 2023 and hope the information is still good. I used the Genie Plus with park hopper, so when we exhausted the riders at the Magic Kingdom we would move to California Adventure giving us more attractions to use Genie Plus and getting better value from the Genie Plus. The next day we would start at California Adventure and then swap to the Magic Kingdom.
Yes, Chris, you are a one man show of energy and positivity in a world that needs lots of both. You and Amanda really DO make a difference for good. Cudos to both of you. I’ve invited a friend from Ukraine to visit me in August, and Disneyland is high on the list of places to take her. I’d like to think maybe she and I will cross paths with you while there. Thanks again. 🥰
Hey man I think YOUR awesome!! Thanks so much for all the great info. My family and I are headed to Disneyland soon and I’ve been binging your videos. You’re the best. Thanks 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for the update on Genie +. I am trying to plan a trip with my wife to Disneyland within the next year. I so very much appreciate all the great info you give and the personal touches that you add to us. Always makes us all feeling very special. And I wish nothing but good vibes and success for you in the future. Thank you again. #New fan

So using your example for booking attractions. If you book a ride at 9:00 to come back at 1200. You then book your next genie+ at 1100 to come back at like 4:00. When you scan into the ride at 1200 can you then book another genie+?
Excellent video Chris! This really helps me out understanding this weird system Disney has. I don't use Genie+ when I visit Disneyland however I found this video informative.
This was great advice. It worked really well. We had a great time (in large part because of these great tips). The only thing I would add: Bring 1 or 2 phone battery packs. You are going to BLOW through your phone battery. I couldn't find a place in the parks to recharge. Think about it... this app is your tickets, planner, map, and you are taking pictures and you are constantly connecting to a cell tower in a very busy place. I was actually surprised how quickly the percentage dropped.
Thank you for another great video. But especially for the great tips and for doing so much research for those of us who need a lil extra explanation. Hope to put them to good use soon.
It is rare that Individual LL sells out quickly at the Disneyland Resort. DO NOT book ILL early unless you really want to ride the ILL attraction early. Better to do other attractions before booking the ILL on a typical day. At WDW you should buy as soon as you can since you can select your return time.

I was so confused seeing Haunted Mansion up and running in the background, then figured you just filmed it before that closed, THEN I saw Splash Mountain running and realized you were wearing a different tie and figured that specific clip was just filmed awhile ago. 🤣
Thank you for the Great and useful information , I knew some and some I did not. But.... Im hoping that one day you can "Break down " the whole VIRTUAL QUEUE . Have never used it and don't really understand how to. If you have a video explaining this or if any one knows of a video about this , please let me know. I have watched just a couple , but they are confusing . I would greatly appreciate it if you go into Great detail about this matter. Thank you for all you do , My family and I are fans of your channel.😁😁

Hi Chris and Amanda, we love your channel. You guys are so great and every time we’re in Disneyland we look for you. We’re hoping to see you but I just wanted to tell you last month I booked a one day in Disneyland in May and when I bought my one day pass, it did allow me to purchase my genie plus along with it and it charged me the $30 per for myself and for my husband, I don’t know if it always does or if it just did for mine because we go a couple times a year and we are not AP holders . I just thought I would share that with you and I hope to see you when we’re there on May 15. We are from American Fork Utah.🩷
This is GREAT information!!! Have you done an updated version for WDW, yet?? We're going in August (yes, 🥵, but it's my 50th!) and we haven't been to WDW in 10 years! Disneyland is our "home" park, so I'm having to re-learn a lot about the parks since it's been a while. WDW really IS a whole different beast! 🤯
You always have to book your first lightning Lane immediately that starts the clock, you can always modify but you always have to have a lightning Lane in your back pocket. Also if you rope drop book of space lightning lane, then go stand by, then afterwards you have a lightning lane. Redeem and keep on booking by that time the park is packed

Hello , excellent tips thank you so much. me and my wife taking my 8 years daughter arriving 11am in june 27th staying in Disneyland hotel for 2 nights which theme park should i purchase? Since we will spend 1 day in the theme park ? It gave me to choose between 1:disneyland Park 2:disney California adventure park Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.
Hi Chris, Thanks for all the tips! We are heading to Disneyland the last week of August 28,29. (Wednesday & Thursday)Do I need to get Genie+? How are the crowds during that time?
Now you post this, after I get back from Disneyland. Oh well, hopefully I did it right. and judging, I did. I still get confused on the whole ride is down thing, whenI was there I saw Its a Small World down, and I didn't book it, because I WOULD NEVER RIDE IT. Scariest ride in all of Disney. But yeah, I would never used my Disney plus at the beginning of the day. But I have in the past, and this trip, not using all my Genie Plus passes by taking that route. Wait 2 hours for this and wait another 2 hours for another ride. Couldn't use them all.
Can you still reserve Genie+ lightning lanes after buying a ILL? For instance, I bought an ILL for RoR for 10:30 a.m. While that is active, can I still book a G+LL for Space Mountain 10:00 a.m.?
Great video! Is it correct that you can't start booking lightning lanes until you actually scan into the park? At WDW, you can start booking them at 7:00 AM and I am more familiar with that. Taking our first trip to Disneyland this summer!
Thank you for this wonderful video! I have a question for you. I have a big family and one of the problems I run into is that if we scan in for a Lightning Lane and then I want to book our next one before we actually get on the ride, my wifi/data goes out and I can't do it. This happens on rides where we have to go underground, such as Haunted Mansion and Pirates (the worst one is Indiana Jones) because it's hard to walk and book our next ride and keep up with my family. Do you have any tips for this?
Super helpful video! One question for clarification…per year example if I make a reservation for space at 9 and it’s not until 12, and I make another reservation for pirates at 11, am I able to make another reservation after I ride space at noon or only at 1, after the 2 hr mark? Thanks!
so to be clear on linking tickets on on the app. only one person will have that on their app for everybody in the party. So if i am follwoing, the other people in the party will not need to link tickets? I just am hoping you can clear that up a bit.
Thank you for this video. 😊 I've only used Genie+ once, and it was a long time ago now. I'm just curious about my next trip in September... can someone else in the party also handle the ride reservations? Or can it only be done from one account? Thanks in advance. ❤
Great video Chris, this should help many people with this confusing system... With that said, a recent change was made regarding ride breakdowns and the multi experience pass you get instead. Super confusing, but rides are now tiered. So if a lower tier ride breaks down (monters inc) your multi experience pass woudlnt work on higher tier rides (indiana jones).

I like the individual lightning lanes when they were paper,and free.😻
EXACTLY.
When it was called FassPass, right?
Disney doesnt make enough money already that it had to take the free version away and charge for it now 🙄🙄
I don't have kids but that last segment about how its the time spent together that we'll remember...thank you for the reminder. I'm over here going planning crazy for my family to make sure we go on everything since we haven't been in years, but that made me stop and think "wow, we're going to all be at Disneyland together having fun."

You could all be at the beach having more fun and spending less money.
Disneyland opened when I was 4 years old (yes, I remember the ticket books and know the true meaning of an E RIDE!). We took both our kids for the first time on their 4th birthdays. Now we finally planning a trip for our 5 year old grandson. We used to live in SoCal and a trip to Disneyland just meant getting up early and driving to Anaheim for the day and running from ride to ride and now it is so complex!! Really appreciate videos like this that will help us plan our two days.
And thanks for you comment at the end about family - we have so many happy memories of trips to Disneyland through the years.
Awww that last part I loved! 17:40 I was already stressing about how to try to get on all the rides for them . But your right just enjoy the moment 🥰
This is the best advice. We took my then four year old soon to be five year old and did not stress about the rides. We let him guide us and it was less stressful.
Dude as a father coming with his family for the first time in years, This was HUGELY helpful.
What great times we had back in the fast pass days! Now I will only visit non-peak, hit the high demand rides first thing or last thing, and take my time to enjoy myself the rest of the day.

Thank you so much. I am going to Disneyland for the 1st time with my kids. This will help so much to get on all the rides they want to get on.
This is great and exactly four weeks until our trip! I hope we'll run into you in the parks to say hi and thanks!
I appreciate how calm and low-key you are in this video! I need the 2024 version of this for Disney World.
I appreciate your tips and your kind, gentle spirit!
Thank you watch May 23 for your shout out
I went last year for, the first time in six years. I went with friends who are annual pass holders and really knew Gennie Plus, so they handled everything and I had a great time. I want to take my wife next year, Disney's 70th Anniversary. I told her how great Gennie Plus was and that I could figure out how to use it. Wow, I did not know all the secrets, thanks, Chris, for the tips.
You are so great !!!! 20 of my friends,family, and grandkids are going to Disneyland next year. This is the most informative video. Nice job.
Thank you
Chris!!! I just saw that they're changing the Genie+ system!? I think we're going to need an update to understand the new stuff ASAP!! ❤❤
These are all very solid tips. We had our very first trip in March & after watching a lot of TH-cam videos from various sources our Genie+ experience was great! I was very nervous it was going to be a nightmare, but it wasn’t. Take note of all these hot tips!!

Chris , i go almost every other month but i still watch your videos so i can be up to date on things and maximize my park time !
Wow 👏🏼👏🏼 you were so informative and helpful. I feel like I know how to use genie+ already 😂 thank you for your kindness 🎉 this is one of the best videos about Disneyland tips I've seen! Thank you again!

Planning to visit DL in late Feb 25 from NJ. Gunna hack the Genie + as advised.
Super helpful video. I'm heading down to Disneyland soon & this video provided me some really great pointers on Genie+ & how to make the most out of it.
Appreciate You & have a Great Day.
Super informative! Desperately trying to perfectly plan my cars land trip next month for my 5 year old.
Going in June. Watched yours from last year last night. Got these tips just in time. So confusing. And I had a pass for 20 years! Never had to learn how to go to Disneyland!
😅
It's ridiculous. You'll spend more time looking at your phone than the park.
@@stevepd1 And now on my day off…I will not set one alarm….but one every two hours! 🤣🤦♀️

Thanks again. 🥰
Great video...the message about spending time with the kids was the BEST ADVICE...well done sir...well done!!!!
This video was awesome! Loved the end bit about not loosing sight of the bigger picture
Hey man I think YOUR awesome!! Thanks so much for all the great info. My family and I are headed to Disneyland soon and I’ve been binging your videos. You’re the best. Thanks 🙏🏻
Thanks you , we are French and it’s help us a lot ✨

Great video! Very informative and easy to follow for step by step process and planning.
Thank you Chris. We are going soon and will let you know how it goes now that we have your insight on Genie+! Thanks for sharing.
Your videos are very helpful for me and my family. I can't wait to be there on august. Thank you.
Such an amazing video! Thank you!
Wow i thought i knew everything abt it! Learned alot!!! Subscribed
3:52 made me crack up 🤣
We did getaway vacation cause of you!!!
Thank you for another great video. But especially for the great tips and for doing so much research for those of us who need a lil extra explanation. Hope to put them to good use soon.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Wonder if you could modify dining also instead of taking the cancellation hit.
I really appreciate you taking the time to share this! I’ve become a fan thank you!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this very informative and detailed video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 We are so in the know now with the genie+ 😂😂😂

Thanks a lot for the tips Chris! I’m from Europe and we are going to Disneyland on April 30, so the tips are welcome 😊
Disney has warned that any guest found to have falsified their need for DAS will face permanent bans. The company stated, “Guests found to have made false statements to obtain DAS will be banned from Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort. Additionally, any passes, tickets, or other purchases will not be refunded.”
I used Genie (regular) when I went in March. It was helpful to check on wait times, but mostly it just drained my battery.
You da BEST! thanks so much and I cant wait to go in 3 days!
This was awesome! Thank you sooooo much! So helpful!!!😊
Hoping to see Chris this coming weekend!!
Hi Chris and Amanda, we love your channel. You guys are so great and every time we’re in Disneyland we look for you. We’re hoping to see you but I just wanted to tell you last month I booked a one day in Disneyland in May and when I bought my one day pass, it did allow me to purchase my genie plus along with it and it charged me the $30 per for myself and for my husband, I don’t know if it always does or if it just did for mine because we go a couple times a year and we are not AP holders . I just thought I would share that with you and I hope to see you when we’re there on May 15. We are from American Fork Utah.🩷
Super helpful! Good to know our plan of hitting non-genie+ rides at rope drop is solid. Would you recommend buying ILL??
This is GREAT information!!! Have you done an updated version for WDW, yet?? We're going in August (yes, 🥵, but it's my 50th!) and we haven't been to WDW in 10 years! Disneyland is our "home" park, so I'm having to re-learn a lot about the parks since it's been a while. WDW really IS a whole different beast! 🤯
You always have to book your first lightning Lane immediately that starts the clock, you can always modify but you always have to have a lightning Lane in your back pocket. Also if you rope drop book of space lightning lane, then go stand by, then afterwards you have a lightning lane. Redeem and keep on booking by that time the park is packed

I'm not talking about DAS
Thanks for all the help again brotha! Hope all is well. 🤙
Understand hotel guests can now book genie plus rides in advance? When does that take effect?
Hello , excellent tips thank you so much. me and my wife taking my 8 years daughter arriving 11am in june 27th staying in Disneyland hotel for 2 nights which theme park should i purchase? Since we will spend 1 day in the theme park ? It gave me to choose between
1:disneyland Park
2:disney California adventure park
Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.
Hi Chris, Thanks for all the tips! We are heading to Disneyland the last week of August 28,29. (Wednesday & Thursday)Do I need to get Genie+? How are the crowds during that time?
Great video! Are there any rides at Disneyland that require you to scan in twice?
Now you post this, after I get back from Disneyland. Oh well, hopefully I did it right. and judging, I did. I still get confused on the whole ride is down thing, whenI was there I saw Its a Small World down, and I didn't book it, because I WOULD NEVER RIDE IT. Scariest ride in all of Disney. But yeah, I would never used my Disney plus at the beginning of the day. But I have in the past, and this trip, not using all my Genie Plus passes by taking that route. Wait 2 hours for this and wait another 2 hours for another ride. Couldn't use them all.
Wonderful message at the end 🥰
Another super helpful video! Thank you!
Thank you Chris!!! You are amazing and so helpful as always ❤
Can you still reserve Genie+ lightning lanes after buying a ILL? For instance, I bought an ILL for RoR for 10:30 a.m. While that is active, can I still book a G+LL for Space Mountain 10:00 a.m.?
Great video! Is it correct that you can't start booking lightning lanes until you actually scan into the park? At WDW, you can start booking them at 7:00 AM and I am more familiar with that. Taking our first trip to Disneyland this summer!
Thank you so much for this informative video!!!
Thank you for this wonderful video! I have a question for you. I have a big family and one of the problems I run into is that if we scan in for a Lightning Lane and then I want to book our next one before we actually get on the ride, my wifi/data goes out and I can't do it. This happens on rides where we have to go underground, such as Haunted Mansion and Pirates (the worst one is Indiana Jones) because it's hard to walk and book our next ride and keep up with my family. Do you have any tips for this?
Chris will this work in disney world as well
Wow this is so through !!!
Super helpful video! One question for clarification…per year example if I make a reservation for space at 9 and it’s not until 12, and I make another reservation for pirates at 11, am I able to make another reservation after I ride space at noon or only at 1, after the 2 hr mark? Thanks!
Only after the 2 hour mark.
so to be clear on linking tickets on on the app. only one person will have that on their app for everybody in the party. So if i am follwoing, the other people in the party will not need to link tickets? I just am hoping you can clear that up a bit.
Thank you for this video. 😊 I've only used Genie+ once, and it was a long time ago now. I'm just curious about my next trip in September... can someone else in the party also handle the ride reservations? Or can it only be done from one account? Thanks in advance. ❤
Love your videos!
