STAY INSIDE THE PARK

DISNEY GENIE
If staying inside the parks isn't an option for you, there's another way.
"Disney just launched a new service called the Genie+," she revealed.
Guests can use the Disney Genie+ service to "prebook" queue slots through the Lightning Lane entrance, letting visitors skip the normal line, which can take anywhere between 30 to 90 minutes.
This new service includes personalized itinerary planning, forecasted future wait times for attractions, a virtual assistant, mobile ordering, restaurant waitlist, check-in, reservations, and most importantly, virtual queues (available at certain attractions).
"It's basically like a placeholder for you. Instead of you standing there, it'll tell you to come back at a certain time," Diercksen explained.
However, this service doesn't come free and it'll cost you $15 per person per day.
Within the Genie app as well, there are certain rides that will let you schedule your place in line.
The Individual Attraction Selection will charge you on top of the Genie fee per ride, but all you have to do is schedule a time slot and show up. That's it.
