Hi Janelle! Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney!
To me, planning a magical vacation to
Walt Disney World Resort is half as fun as actually experiencing the trip! I love setting out my daily itineraries, making my Theme Park Reservations, and deciding which days are the best for
Character Dining Experiences. We even tend to throw in some "Resort days" throughout our stay so that we have some downtime to relax and swim in between the exciting rush of running through the Theme Parks.
If you're thinking about purchasing and using
Disney Genie+ Service during your Walt Disney World Resort vacation I think you'll find that it really helps you and your party to maximize your time within the Parks. Genie+ allows you and your party to essentially "skip" the standby line by making
Lightning Lane selections and then coming back to the attraction you've chosen at a designated return time.
When you purchase Genie+, you'll have access to the Lightning Lane on more than 40 rides and attractions throughout the four Theme Parks for one price per day. At 7 a.m. sharp you'll want to make your first Lightning Lane selection. You'll be able to make another after you scan into your first selection or two hours after the official Park opening time, whichever comes first. There is no extra charge for making multiple Lightning Lane selections.
I believe you may be referring to "
Individual Lightning Lanes" in your question. Individual Lightning Lanes are reserved for the most popular attractions within each Park and are not included with Genie+ Service. These Individual Lightning Lane attractions can be purchased "a la carte" for up to two experiences per day. Right now, Individual Lightning Lanes are available for
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT,
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disney's Hollywood Studios,
Avatar Flight of Passage at Disney's Animal Kingdom, and
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom.
I hope this clears things up, Janelle! Come back and see us again if you have any other planning questions!
