Hiya David,
Welcome back to planDisney! It means so much to us that you continue to come back and see us for help with planning your Walt Disney World Resort vacations.
Thank you so much for your question about
Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes; when Genie+ services were released, it opened up a “whole new world” of possibilities and questions. I had to “dig a little deeper” to find the answer to your question, but I was fortunate to find one. Unfortunately, the Genie+ service system will not allow you to book both a Genie+ reservation and an individual lightning lane at the same time using the same
My Disney Experience account. You will likely experience a delay in reserving one, and your reservation will disappear before you can confirm it. It is similar to the previous virtual cue system. My prince charming and I were both trying to secure a spot in the virtual cue for an attraction once using different My Disney Experience accounts and ended up getting booted out of the system and missing out on the virtual cue slots. We learned from a Cast Member later that the system tends to get a tiny bit glitchy involving the duplicate accounts or individuals on the same
Family and Friends list. I recommend reserving your first Genie+ selection and then booking your Individual Lightning Lane immediately after. In my experience, the earlier Genie+ selections go first before the Individual Lightning Lanes do. However, ultimately it depends on what your priority attractions are. I also highly recommend having two separate My Disney Experience accounts. It tends to be a lot easier for managing plans overall.
I hope this answers your question, David. If you need anything else, please come back and see us again.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
