Need Some GENIE+ Help...

[yensid1967]

Given the current situation with Genie+...I would like to know how BEST to handle going to the Magic Kingdom for 2 adults and getting on the following...
7 Dwarfs Mine Train, Dumbo, Haunted Mansion, It's a Small World, Jungle Cruise, Peter Pan's Flight, Pirates of the Caribbean.
These are the must do list for Magic Kingdom as one is a first timer and I want them to experience the classics

This recent blog post by Touring Plans talks about which attractions run out first, and thus should be the general order of priority.

What Does Genie+ Lightning Lane Availability Look Like?

Effective use of Genie+ at Walt Disney World is a total moving target. Availability keeps changing, attractions get adde

In general, for the list you provided:
-For Seven Dwarfs, you'll have to either buy a separate-cost Individual Lightning Lane or wait in Standby. If going the Standby route, your best bet might be to wait until the end of the night and hop in line right before the park closes.
-Jungle Cruise runs out of Genie+ slots fastest, followed by Peter Pan.
-The rest can be done Standby, or snag a Genie+ as there is availability.

I was at Disney last week and I can tell you what we did...

Jungle Cruise was our first G+ booking and it was for 7pm, it runs out very fast!

Park closed at 2300 and we were able to do 7 Dwarfs and Peter pan just before close, 7D was a 20min wait and Peter Pan was a walk in! no line what so ever.

If you play your cards right and alternate G+ and standby you should be able to ride everything.

We did Space, Splash, thunder mountain, Pirates, Buzz, Dumbo, 7 Dwarfs, Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan, Its a small world, Jungle Cruise, Mad Tea Party, Regal Carrousel, Speedway, Tiki Room...

Be prepared to work way too hard, change your plans, and be disappointed. I came back from April 3-8, with just my wife. I prepped as much as someone can by watching countless G+ vlogs. I got up at 7am, had my wife’s phone too, learned the 120min rule, countinuouy “pulled down” to refresh times, etc. All of that and as I said, way too much work and disappointment. Hopefully you have better luck!

6If you had that much trouble with it, then I will surely be left disappointed. But the one truly GLIMMERS of hope is that our trip isn't until December 2026 and I am hoping by then GENIE is replaced with something better and more reliable for guests. FREE FP's would be nice and a PAID FP plan for the major rides! But NOT at the ridiculous prices they are now! $5 FP for major rides is enough! We already paid for admission to the parks that INLCUDE rides, why should we pay much more!? I would pay $5 per ride to get on the major must do's
