Visitors can choose a maximum of two attractions or experiences per day using this ticket!

When is Genie+ worth it?

Genie+, despite having some advantages, is only really worth it when it comes to Magic Kingdom and Disney Hollywood Studios specifically. With good itinerary planning, you can enjoy the other parks without having to spend anything more!

The number of skip-the-line passes are limited and end up being distributed quickly, so depending on the time you arrive at the park, the Genie+ will not be used as it should and could be “wasted” money. So if you intend to use the platform, it’s best to arrive early to make the most of it!

At Magic Kingdom, with the long lines and crowded attractions, the Genie+ is super interesting, but if you plan to go to the park for two days, you will only need to use it for one of them. Hollywood Studios is an all-day park and the lines are also long, so take advantage of this feature to your heart's content!
