A new change in the My Disney Experience app makes Disney Genie+ more transparent and easier to use for guests visiting Walt Disney World. Back in December 2021, we wrote an article with a wish that Disney Genie+ would make the next booking time more obvious to guests. As you may know, there are a few different criteria on when you can book your next Genie+ Lightning Lane selection.
Now, Disney has granted our wish and the next eligible selection time is prominently displayed within the Disney Genie+ Tip Board. Here’s a look!
As you can see, a new banner has been added to the top of the Tip Board that shows you when you can make your next Disney Genie+ selection. Essentially, there are three states – immediately, when the 120-minute rule elapses, or when your Lightning Lane return window closes. Of course, guests who are familiar with the Disney Genie+ system will know that there is one more option – when you enter the Lightning Lane and redeem your selection for a particular attraction. In that case, the app simply switches to “now”.
In our opinion, this is a wonderful update when it comes to improving the usability and transparency of the Disney Genie+ platform, especially for first-time visitors or users of Disney’s paid skip-the-line offering. We anticipate that Disney will continue to make usability and value updates to the Disney Genie+ system after an initial wave of backlash.
