Is the Disney Genie Plus service worth it?

Disneyland’s old beloved fast passes were the original system created to help you ride your favorite attractions with shorter wait times if you could get to the parks fast enough and it was completely FREE! As time progressed, Disney developed the Max Pass system to allow quicker access for guests to reserve return times to their favorite attractions, but now in a digital format and it was an optional service that could be purchased to enhance the Disney trip experience – the Disney Genie Plus!

Currently there are two options for use being the Disney Genie which is free and the Disney Genie Plus which is optional for purchase and can be downloaded via the Disneyland app on your mobile phone. All of this leading to the number one question: Is the Disney Genie Plus worth it?

The answer is it depends! If you are a local and have paid for a Magic Key Pass it won’t be the end of the world if you can’t get on your favorite attractions or don’t complete your itinerary for the day. If you are from out of town, have only a day ticket or multi day tickets and are wanting to get the most out of your Disney vacation then it is a life saver to purchase the Disney Genie Plus! It comes at a fee of $25 a day per person but can help you with scheduling “Lightning Lane Entrances” to attractions that tend to get a lot of foot traffic –saving you both time and money. Without access to Lightning Lanes you must wait in the long lines and risk missing out on precious valuable time to make other precious memories throughout the parks.

Something worth noting is that Disney does charge another additional fee of $25 each per person per day to be able to ride the in demand attractions which include the following: (1) Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disneyland, (2) Radiator Springs Racers at Disneyland California Adventure and (3) Web Slingers: A Spider-Man Adventure at Disneyland California Adventure.

So we recommend that you factor into your savings for your trip this Disney Genie Plus Service. You also get to enjoy unlimited PhotoPass digital downloads when at the parks to remember your amazing Disney vacation/trip.

The Disney Genie is a free service that has a Tip Board with recommendations for attractions and dining which is also included of course with the Disney Genie Plus.
