    Honestly, I feel like the Disney parks social media and websites should be sponsoring and promoting your videos, ESPECIALLY this new series. You make genie + seem so easy, all while continuing to make your content so entertaining and original. Thank you so much for everything you do! 💕💕

      yeah some of the posted wait times can be misleading for sure last time I started in Hollywood Studios I did Tower of Terror first the posted wait time was 30 minutes and I walked all the way into the first preshow. Then did Rock'n roller coaster and the posted wait time was 25 and it was pretty accurate so who knows??? (the wait time was about 2 hours when I got off so hit that one early)

    I would love to see a Genie+ vs. Standby challenge between you and Alan. One of you uses Genie+, another uses only standby and counts how much time is spent waiting for rides, as well as how many attractions are completed. I think you should also track steps too, to see how much moving around is needed to get between LLs vs. the standby person just walking around the park without zig-zagging or backtracking. This would give a really complete picture of whether Genie+ is worth someone's time and money!

    Could be worth including the Multi Attraction Pass process in one of these. Booking an outdoor ride for very soon when you see some weather coming, knowing it'll cancel to an attraction pass, then use that to get on something you haven't been able to find one for (if your desired attraction is included).

    I appreciate your work. I'm sure there are many who like Genie+ and I wish them nothing but joy and happy Disney days! However, I miss the simpler days of either paper Fast Passes or the predetermined Fast Passes you booked from home at no additional cost. Planning a vacation to WDW has now become so complex that the vacation can be more stressful than work. I'd rather go to Hawaii or Europe for the same cost.

    Molly is one of the best to learn Genie + from, but please know if you are using Genie + with a family of 5 or more your success is not going to be as easy as this seems. Still use all the tips she suggest here as they are 100% correct but its a lot harder finding the best return times when you have 5 members in your party going of a lightning lane. Edit and Molly does mention at the end she is only 1 person and its different for larger families of 5. She rocks!

    I like how Dollywood does it. You get a card for lightning lane eligible rides. When you get on the ride, the cast member writes down what time you can go on your next lightning lane ride. That could be two hours, or it could be five minutes. All depends on the crowd, time of day, etc.

    This was super informative, thank you! I didn't know about modifying or using the top picks menu. I think genie+ can be very, very worth it from a monetary cost perspective, however I still think it's a total drag from a time cost perspective. As someone who can only go to DW every few years, the idea of sitting and refreshing in my phone instead of looking at all the cool things around me is something I'm not always willing to do.

    Love these experiments. Request - next time you are in a show give us a quick overview of which direction they are going to make you skoot down the row to fill in all the space. I'm height challenged so try to sit on the end of the row so I can actually see. For example: at BB&TB if sitting on the right hand section facing the stage, they are going to make everyone skoot from the left to the right, if I've already sat on the end by the middle section, I'm going to have to skoot inward, thus giving up my end seat and not be able to see as well. In this case, arriving late might be to my advantage.
