Great video Chris, this should help many people with this confusing system... With that said, a recent change was made regarding ride breakdowns and the multi experience pass you get instead. Super confusing, but rides are now tiered. So if a lower tier ride breaks down (monters inc) your multi experience pass woudlnt work on higher tier rides (indiana jones).
Another pro move is using LL modify to check for earlier windows of the same ride. Dont need to switch to a different ride.
Well said!
We are heading to the park at the end of June, and the one thing is will say about the Genie + LL is that I am not a fan about the 1 time use for each ride per day.
I remember max pass would let us Fast pass a ride as many times as we wanted per day for the same price
After being a Subscriber for 6 years now ... I finally got to meet you in person this last Wednesday while you were entering the park with your parents! Appreciate the hug! It's always awesome when people are as genuine in person as they are on camera! Thanks for being You!
I like the individual lightning lanes when they were paper,and free.😻
EXACTLY.
I don't have kids but that last segment about how its the time spent together that we'll remember...thank you for the reminder. I'm over here going planning crazy for my family to make sure we go on everything since we haven't been in years, but that made me stop and think "wow, we're going to all be at Disneyland together having fun." And thats truly what its about. Thank you Chris!
You could all be at the beach having more fun and spending less money.
What great times we had back in the fast pass days! Now I will only visit non-peak, hit the high demand rides first thing or last thing, and take my time to enjoy myself the rest of the day.
Thank you so much. I am going to Disneyland for the 1st time with my kids. This will help so much to get on all the rides they want to get on.
Wow 👏🏼👏🏼 you were so informative and helpful. I feel like I know how to use genie+ already 😂 thank you for your kindness 🎉 this is one of the best videos about Disneyland tips I've seen! Thank you again!
Awww that last part I loved! 17:40 I was already stressing about how to try to get on all the rides for them . But your right just enjoy the moment 🥰
This is the best advice. We took my then four year old soon to be five year old and did not stress about the rides. We let him guide us and it was less stressful.
You are so great !!!! 20 of my friends,family, and grandkids are going to Disneyland next year. This is the most informative video. Nice job.
Thank you
I want to thank you for your messages and positivity! Especially when you tell us how wonderful and special we are. It really does put a smile on my face and is very much appreciated!
You are so welcome
This is great and exactly four weeks until our trip! I hope we'll run into you in the parks to say hi and thanks!
I’m watching from New Zealand, so this is great information. I visited 2023 so am still feeling severe Disney withdrawals, so I watch your videos to help me through it 😂. I was wondering if you could do some tips for international visitors? Like Can we use get away today? What is the best way to get from LAX to Anaheim, and Anaheim to universal? Is Disneyland and Anaheim pretty safe at night for female solo travellers? Love your videos! Often the highlight of my day ❤
Great video as always! You were a big help in us having a great trip in march. I’m still watching to keep the magic alive!
I can’t tell you how much I LOVE your videos. The info is great but even better are your little tidbits of wisdom and care! This one about enjoying the time together over how many rides really hit me. As a 23 year kindergarten teacher it rang SO true! Ty ty ty
Yes, Chris, you are a one man show of energy and positivity in a world that needs lots of both. You and Amanda really DO make a difference for good. Cudos to both of you. I’ve invited a friend from Ukraine to visit me in August, and Disneyland is high on the list of places to take her. I’d like to think maybe she and I will cross paths with you while there. Thanks again. 🥰
Excellent video Chris! This really helps me out understanding this weird system Disney has. I don't use Genie+ when I visit Disneyland however I found this video informative.
I really appreciate you taking the time to share this! I’ve become a fan thank you!
Chris , i go almost every other month but i still watch your videos so i can be up to date on things and maximize my park time !
I didn’t know about the Genie+ changes and tips mind blown 🤯 This is so helpful, thank you! 🤗
You're so welcome!

Hey man I think YOUR awesome!! Thanks so much for all the great info. My family and I are headed to Disneyland soon and I’ve been binging your videos. You’re the best. Thanks 🙏🏻
This was awesome! Thank you sooooo much! So helpful!!!😊
Going in June. Watched yours from last year last night. Got these tips just in time. So confusing. And I had a pass for 20 years! Never had to learn how to go to Disneyland!
😅
It's ridiculous. You'll spend more time looking at your phone than the park.
@@stevepd1 And now on my day off…I will not set one alarm….but one every two hours! 🤣🤦♀️
3:52 made me crack up 🤣
This video was awesome! Loved the end bit about not loosing sight of the bigger picture
Thank you Chris!!! You are amazing and so helpful as always ❤
Love it! Thanks for the great info and good point at the end of the video!
Thank you!!!! The whole genie pass seems so intimidating!
Thanks for your great videos Chris!

Another super helpful video! Thank you!
Thank you for another great video. But especially for the great tips and for doing so much research for those of us who need a lil extra explanation. Hope to put them to good use soon.
That was a super helpful video (they always are), but especially this one! Thanks.
Thanks for all the help again brotha! Hope all is well. 🤙
Great video...the message about spending time with the kids was the BEST ADVICE...well done sir...well done!!!!
Thank you so much for this informative video!!!
Thank you! This video is very helpful 😊
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this very informative and detailed video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 We are so in the know now with the genie+ 😂😂😂
Wonderful message at the end 🥰
That’s how I became a Disney fan…for the kids. The pure excitement and energy just makes it so special. And now I want to take them to Disney Tokyo and Paris!!!
Thank you Chris. We are going soon and will let you know how it goes now that we have your insight on Genie+! Thanks for sharing.
We did getaway vacation cause of you!!!
I went last year for, the first time in six years. I went with friends who are annual pass holders and really knew Gennie Plus, so they handled everything and I had a great time. I want to take my wife next year, Disney's 70th Anniversary. I told her how great Gennie Plus was and that I could figure out how to use it. Wow, I did not know all the secrets, thanks, Chris, for the tips.
You da BEST! thanks so much and I cant wait to go in 3 days!
Very Helpful video good thing to know that I’m taking the family this memorial weekend
Mahalo for another great video!
These are all very solid tips. We had our very first trip in March & after watching a lot of UA-cam videos from various sources our Genie+ experience was great! I was very nervous it was going to be a nightmare, but it wasn’t. Take note of all these hot tips!!

Wow this is so through !!!
Thank you so much for the update on Genie +. I am trying to plan a trip with my wife to Disneyland within the next year. I so very much appreciate all the great info you give and the personal touches that you add to us. Always makes us all feeling very special. And I wish nothing but good vibes and success for you in the future. Thank you again. #New fan

Super informative! Desperately trying to perfectly plan my cars land trip next month for my 5 year old.
Love your videos!
👔
Great video!
I was so confused seeing Haunted Mansion up and running in the background, then figured you just filmed it before that closed, THEN I saw Splash Mountain running and realized you were wearing a different tie and figured that specific clip was just filmed awhile ago. 🤣
Chris, thanks for the tips! I’ll be at Disneyland in 2 weeks and can hardly wait💕. Go Padres! 14:04
Thank you Sir
Thanks!
Thank you. Watch June 10 for your shout out 💙💚
thanks!
Thanks a lot for the tips Chris! I’m from Europe and we are going to Disneyland on April 30, so the tips are welcome 😊

Super helpful! Good to know our plan of hitting non-genie+ rides at rope drop is solid. Would you recommend buying ILL??
This was great advice. It worked really well. We had a great time (in large part because of these great tips).
The only thing I would add: Bring 1 or 2 phone battery packs.
You are going to BLOW through your phone battery. I couldn't find a place in the parks to recharge.
Think about it... this app is your tickets, planner, map, and you are taking pictures and you are constantly connecting to a cell tower in a very busy place. I was actually surprised how quickly the percentage dropped.
The ones in park are are about $20. I agree this is good advice!
Interesting
His explanation of the Holy Grail (aka the Select Experience Pass, also known as MEP) is completely incorrect... Note: Provost is showing old footage when discussing this
#1 If you arrive for Rope Drop aka park opening YOU DO want to book LL asap. BUT DO NOT use it, You want the earliest LL because an attraction may be down at opening which will give you an MEP. Most likely attractions to be down at opening are Indiana Jones, Runaway Railway, and the Matterhorn. Just remember to change your return times if the ride does not go down.
#2 MEPs have different tier levels. Known as Gold Tier (currently Indy, Railway, Matterhorn, Space, Mansion Holiday, Small World Holiday, Web Slinger, Guardians, Toy Story) and Silver Tier (everything else not including ILLs)
#3 You can no longer use MEPs on non-LL attractions. However, some Cast Members may allow it.
#4 There is one more secret about MEPs, but I am keeping that one to myself.
#5 If you get an MEP from an ILL attraction keep it as a ILL attraction MEP
Thanks, I was disappointed that Chris gave bad info on this cause it’s very helpful especially for people who can’t ride certain rides because of motion sickness etc, it allows genie to still be worth it for us. I had a great golden pass day on Easter with six experience passes and three were golden. We got two rides on Indiana and one on runaway railroad. The other 3 days I got redemption passes at least once each day. Pirates only gave a pass for pirates but we were able to ride pirates each day whenever we chose and at 76 appreciated that a lot. I’m intrigued as to what #4 was lol. I hope people read your detailed response-so informative.
Hi Chris and Amanda, we love your channel. You guys are so great and every time we’re in Disneyland we look for you. We’re hoping to see you but I just wanted to tell you last month I booked a one day in Disneyland in May and when I bought my one day pass, it did allow me to purchase my genie plus along with it and it charged me the $30 per for myself and for my husband, I don’t know if it always does or if it just did for mine because we go a couple times a year and we are not AP holders . I just thought I would share that with you and I hope to see you when we’re there on May 15. We are from American Fork Utah.🩷
Great video! Are there any rides at Disneyland that require you to scan in twice?
DCA ❤ soon! Can’t wait to buy new Mickey ears and try Cars ride , hope to see yuuu
I saw u in disneyworld gift shop im the kid with a mullet😂❤
Btw im brown haired
This is GREAT information!!! Have you done an updated version for WDW, yet?? We're going in August (yes, 🥵, but it's my 50th!) and we haven't been to WDW in 10 years! Disneyland is our "home" park, so I'm having to re-learn a lot about the parks since it's been a while. WDW really IS a whole different beast! 🤯
Chris I did this in 2023 and hope the information is still good. I used the Genie Plus with park hopper, so when we exhausted the riders at the Magic Kingdom we would move to California Adventure giving us more attractions to use Genie Plus and getting better value from the Genie Plus. The next day we would start at California Adventure and then swap to the Magic Kingdom.
Thank you for the Great and useful information , I knew some and some I did not. But.... Im hoping that one day you can "Break down " the whole VIRTUAL QUEUE . Have never used it and don't really understand how to. If you have a video explaining this or if any one knows of a video about this , please let me know. I have watched just a couple , but they are confusing . I would greatly appreciate it if you go into Great detail about this matter. Thank you for all you do , My family and I are fans of your channel.😁😁
Thank you for this video. 😊 I've only used Genie+ once, and it was a long time ago now. I'm just curious about my next trip in September... can someone else in the party also handle the ride reservations? Or can it only be done from one account? Thanks in advance. ❤
Thank you for the video with all the info.. Gosh you spend all that money on the Genie plus.. and you still have to put in work to get it work in your favor.. not complicated.. but definitely inconvenient to use. It should just be.. if the ride has the Genie option.. go in the dang line and utilize your purchase!
It's insane that the same business that made a ton of money and a lot of people happy selling tickets and a free fast pass system also invented something that almost all customers hate and makes them unhappy. This is a unique characteristic of companies that are very large and have a protected moat.
Chris - I have a message for you, come here close. I really like your messages to the viewers. I appreciate all the time you put into them and you sir, are a very special person that matters to a lot of us. Thanks! ❤
Hi Chris, Thanks for all the tips! We are heading to Disneyland the last week of August 28,29. (Wednesday & Thursday)Do I need to get Genie+? How are the crowds during that time?
Great video! Is it correct that you can't start booking lightning lanes until you actually scan into the park? At WDW, you can start booking them at 7:00 AM and I am more familiar with that. Taking our first trip to Disneyland this summer!
Will you be doing one like this for disney world or the other parks that have something like this
I used Genie (regular) when I went in March. It was helpful to check on wait times, but mostly it just drained my battery.
Now that I don’t qualify for DAS anymore I’ve been researching about genie + & how it works. This video was very informative! I can’t wait to go back(:

I need a video on how to go WiTHOUT using Genie Plus. I just don't want to pay that for my large family and I don't want to be on my phone.

I wasn't talking about skipping the line. I wanted a video on minimizing waiting using the regular stand by line and not having to be on my phone all day. Not sure why you thought I meant abusing the DAS system....
It is rare that Individual LL sells out quickly at the Disneyland Resort. DO NOT book ILL early unless you really want to ride the ILL attraction early. Better to do other attractions before booking the ILL on a typical day.
At WDW you should buy as soon as you can since you can select your return time.
Agree with this also!

So is it better to ride the Star Wars rides when you enter the park or in the evening? Are they normally long waits?
Thank you for this wonderful video! I have a question for you. I have a big family and one of the problems I run into is that if we scan in for a Lightning Lane and then I want to book our next one before we actually get on the ride, my wifi/data goes out and I can't do it. This happens on rides where we have to go underground, such as Haunted Mansion and Pirates (the worst one is Indiana Jones) because it's hard to walk and book our next ride and keep up with my family. Do you have any tips for this?
I can’t wait to go back to DL in June for my bday! However, I was able to purchase genie+ in advance in April even though I’ll be at the park for the day. Did this just change where people can only purchase genie+ for multi day tickets in advance?
Always love the tips - wondering if you would touch on the photo pass program? We have done Disney World several times (pre-Genie service) but we are visiting Disneyland for the first time in August. We are getting Genie+ for the whole trip and one of the perks is that is comes with the photo program - just not sure how to use it.
Disneyland app > photos > Link photos in the top right has a QR code to provide photographers around the park and spot to enter attraction ID for on ride photos
I didn’t see individual lightning lane for purchase option for Rise of Resistance last weekend. Did they take it off or did I miss something?
You said I should buy lightning lane first thing in the morning. What time do they go on sale?
can you add a credit card payment through the app itself?
What if I have a group that will be splitting up and possibly not going on all rides together. Can I select Genie+ for only some people and get another ride for others? Also if thye have the app can those with linked tickets do this for their own tickets or does 1 person need to make the reservation for everyone?
If you choose lightning lane for a broken down ride , then the time expires and the ride is still shut down, how do you get a lightning lane ride for any ride? Does a staff member assign one to you? Do they pick one on the app for you? Do they give you a bonus one? I'm confused at the process.
FYI

Hello , excellent tips thank you so much. me and my wife taking my 8 years daughter arriving 11am in june 27th staying in Disneyland hotel for 2 nights which theme park should i purchase? Since we will spend 1 day in the theme park ? It gave me to choose between
1:disneyland Park
2:disney California adventure park
Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.
so to be clear on linking tickets on on the app. only one person will have that on their app for everybody in the party. So if i am follwoing, the other people in the party will not need to link tickets? I just am hoping you can clear that up a bit.
I was going to buy my ticket for Disney adventure in California for 1 day and it looks like you can also buy genie pass you don’t have to wait til the day. Am I wrong?
Now you post this, after I get back from Disneyland. Oh well, hopefully I did it right. and judging, I did. I still get confused on the whole ride is down thing, whenI was there I saw Its a Small World down, and I didn't book it, because I WOULD NEVER RIDE IT. Scariest ride in all of Disney. But yeah, I would never used my Disney plus at the beginning of the day. But I have in the past, and this trip, not using all my Genie Plus passes by taking that route. Wait 2 hours for this and wait another 2 hours for another ride. Couldn't use them all.
Does anyone know if the Disney app can be downloaded and operated from all party's phone or does one person have to be in charge of it?
I understand your point about not using it early in the morning, but that's assuming that you want to ride that ride a second time later in the day. If you only want to ride it once, use it early and get it out of the way.
What if you have a DAS pass do I still need to purchase genie plus ?
Chris you missed a couple of issues. If we went to Disneyland there would 7 of us. My daughter would like space mountain but my son can’t ride it due to health reasons. I am disabled and couldn’t ride Matterhorn. The rest of the family would love Indiana Jones but my son and I would have to sit out on that one. The way you describe Genie +. The family couldn’t be broken up to ride separate rides. Seems like something Disney needs to work on.
When I last used genie+ you could split up your group. In the app you will already have your entire family's tickets linked. When you reserve a lighting lane you then select which people that LL is for. It doesn't automatically apply to all in your group. (Someone please correct me if this is no longer the case.)
@@mariheaton9261 I was there over Easter weekend the app will default to making reservations for everyone in your party but you can check anyone not to include. Then you can make another reservation just for the person(s) you didn’t include because they will be only people still eligible at that time.
You most definitely can split up. Just make sure you click on the right members of your party when you select the ride you want. Then since the others will not have a lightening lane yet you are able to book them for the other attraction. Just make sure you only click the people you want to ride that attraction.
What is the company you use again to book tickets 1- get.......??????
