    Took my little brother this past Friday. He had a blast and I loved it as well. The only thing that put a damper on our trip (besides getting our wheelchair stolen and the west half of the Park suffering a power outage) was the thought at the back of my mind how easy things used to be. When I went in 2018, there was no mobile ordering, virtual queue, Fast-Pass was still a thing, and so much more. I love you guys and your videos, been watching for a couple years now. But after having experienced Disney (probably for the last time), I don't know how you do it. ❤

    This video highlights the SEVERELY underappreciated benefit of Genie+. I mean imagine some of those people that had to stand in the regular standby queue for such a long time and right before they can ride, it has to close and people have to be evacuated and escorted off. I love that if that happens to Genie+ purchasers, you can still skip another ride.

    Nice video… Katie’s laugh is infectious. 😂 I just hate how you need a manual to enjoy the parks now. (I used to work at the parks for over ten years.) They have overcomplicated and penny-pinched every system and service to such an unnecessary degree. I miss the old Disney more and more. It was somewhat poetic when Maleficent burnt down on Saturday, almost signaling how the company is going down the tube.

    Dumbo is not a LL attraction. Also Matterhorn is in Fantasyland and is a LL attraction. You don't have to scan everyone's LL in. If you have guests that do not want to ride you can cancel their LL in the app. No need to go to guest services. The Multiple Experience Pass is tiered, so a Thunder MEP would not allow you to book the Guardians attraction or something like Space Mountain, Matterhorn, Indiana Jones and ILL attraction. Video should be about how bad operations are at right now at the Disneyland Resort.

Or does Genie+ think you’ve already used your 1 LL for that attraction for the day?

    For the Multi Experience lightning lane when the rides go down during your selected time, be sure to read the list of attractions you can use it for. The cast member told us we couldn't use it for high tier rides. If you click on it, you can see which ones. We had one for Big Thunder when it went down and we were able to use it for Haunted Mansion instead. We also got one when Indiana Jones went down but because it was originally the ride we selected for lightning lane we were still able to use the Multiple Experience even though it's a high tier ride. The list of attractions you can use it for varies during the time of the year.

    Seems like "wasting lightning lane" isn't a good description. What if I could use 3 lightning lanes back to back at 8am, 8:45, and 9:30am, with one standby in between? Each of those lightning lanes might have only saved me 10 minutes, but I still use my 4th for a major attraction later in the day to also save the 30-45 minutes. Eventually converting to the 2 hour wait, and/or back to back once again.

When you want to purchase the individual lightning Lane: once you are scanned into the park… You can just search for the attraction on the Disneyland app, and then you’ll see the option to purchase right there and it will share the available time if it’s available. We would suggest buying it as soon as you can.

    You can all buy the genie pass individually, and make individual reservations for different rides. The only bad thing is if the reservation for the fast pass are all booked there wont be any available. Subject to availability. When i went with my daughter i was only able to book one ride to skip through the line. The rest of the rides weren’t available on the genie pass. We did have a late start and it was in August when there was a lot of tourist.
