Hi Charissa!
I'm so happy to hear that
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is on your "must-do" list for your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation! In my opinion, it's the best attraction at any of the four theme parks and it certainly lives up to all of the hype and excitement surrounding it. I was so excited to take my family on it last month and they loved it just as much as I do!
The Genie+ system is fantastic because it helps Guests make the most of their time in the theme park. It allows you to make reservations for select attractions to use their
Lightning Lane entrances and you can make reservations throughout your day in your chosen theme park. The attractions that are included in the Genie+ system are separate from the attractions that offer Individual Lightning Lane purchases. So if an attraction offers Individual Lightning Lane purchases, it won't be included in your Genie+ purchase. For several of our theme park days, including on our day at
Disney's Hollywood Studios, we purchased both Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane reservations so we could enjoy as many attractions as possible!
If you are staying at one of the Disney Resorts Collection hotels or other select hotels, you can start making Individual Lightning Lane reservations at 7:00 a.m. on the day of your theme park visit. Otherwise, you can begin making reservations at the opening time of the theme park you are visiting. Since reservations are limited, especially for the most popular attractions, I recommend that you set your alarm clock and make your reservations as early as possible so you can be sure to get the reservations on your "must-do" list!
Be sure to keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog as you continue planning your trip so you can get the latest announcements and information. Also, feel free to come back to see us at planDisney if we can help you again! T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!
