FAQ

How do virtual queues like TRON or Guardians factor in?

Virtual queue slots already save standby time, so exclude them from the ride count unless you plan to buy Individual Lightning Lane access in addition to Genie+.

What if Genie+ sells out before I buy it?

Genie+ must be purchased the day of your visit. If availability is uncertain, model both with and without Genie+ so you have a backup plan for maximizing standby efficiency.

Can I use this for Disneyland?

Yes. Swap in the Genie+ price and ride counts for Disneyland or Disney California Adventure—the time-saved math works the same.

Additional Information

  • Lightning Lane savings vary by attraction and crowd level—use My Disney Experience wait times to refine the average minutes saved.
  • You can re-run the calculator midday if weather or ride outages reduce the number of reservations you can book.
  • Individual Lightning Lane purchases are separate; add their cost to the Genie+ price before rerunning the math.
  • If your party splits, evaluate each subgroup with its own ride count and pricing to avoid over- or under-valuing Genie+.
