You might think that your purchase of Genie+ will give you the chance to skip the lines at EVERY single Disney World ride, attraction, and experience — but you’d be…wrong!
While many rides are included in the paid Genie+ service, some attractions and entertainment options are NOT included in the standard service. Sometimes, you can still skip the lines at these rides by paying for an Individual Lightning Lane, but other times the standby line is truly your only option. So what rides are NOT included in Genie+? Let’s break it down so you know what to expect.
Below you’ll find full lists of the attractions and major entertainment options that are NOT included in Genie+ at each Disney World theme park.
