I don't know whether you're going to thank me for giving this info. or you'll want to run screaming. Get a hot cup of cocoa and strap in because here are all the details for Disney's new Genie system. Keep in mind Disney likes to change things but this is the skinny for now! It's a little exhausting but you'll be glad you know.

Genie:

The regular Genie service is an app that pretty much gives suggestions throughout the day to go to certain attractions and dining locations to avoid long wait times (pretty much where Disney wants guests to go to spread out everyone in the park). In my experience, it’s not very useful and suggested a lot of things that I did not want to do even though we input our preferences at the beginning of the day. You won't be able to book the Lightning Lanes. This is free however. To access it you just need to go to your mydisneyexperience.com account.

Genie +:

This essentially is a fast pass on an app. At your reserved time you go to the ride and go to the "Lightning Lane" which is a faster line. There is a Disney scanner that you put your magic band up against or your park pass. After you scan you can make another Genie + reservation for another ride.

However, if you want to choose a ride and it only gives you a time slot that's at the end of the day, you can go ahead and reserve it. Wait two hours and then you can reserve another ride. (For example, if the first reservation I make on my Genie + is for Peter Pan and it's at 5pm, I don't have to wait until I get on the Peter Pan ride to choose another ride. That would be ridiculous to have to wait all day until I could make my next selection. All you have to do is wait two hours and then you can make your next reservation.)

You can make your first reservation at 7am. If you go to your mydisneyexperience.com at 7am you can add Genie + to your accounts each morning. It is $15 per person plus tax for each day. If you buy a whole Disney package, resort and tickets together, then you can buy Genie + for the entire stay all at once.

You can only choose 8 rides for the day at a park and you can't repeat rides.

Take a screenshot on your phone of your reservation times. My system glitched once and it changed my 3:00pm reservation to 5pm. So take a picture of your reserved times. If you have a problem you can show your screenshot to someone at Guest Experiences Team.

If the wait times for rides are long I think it's a good idea to use Genie + but if they are relatively short or moderate I don't know that there is a lot of advantage. If the ride is not very long and you're waiting for your reservation time to start, you can get in the stand by lane and go on the ride, then when you get off you can get in the Lightning Lane and use your reserved time. This helped because there was a descent wait time between reservations.

If you decide to get Genie + I think Magic Bands would be a good purchase if you're visiting the parks more than a few days. It's just so much easier for everyone to swipe their bands at the Lightning Lane for each attraction.

Individual Lightning Lane:

There are two rides for each park that fall under this category. Rise of the Resistance is an Individual Lightning Lane. There is a fee for each ride. You pay for it on the app and you pick a time to reserve.

These Individual Lightning Lane reservations are separate from Genie +. You can schedule these without them affecting your Genie + reservation scheduling. So I can pay for Rise of the Resistance at 7am and still reserve Millennium Falcon Smuggler's Run on Genie + at 7am. (If you are not staying at a Disney Resort you would have to wait until park opens to pay for these rides.)

You are supposed to be able to purchase Individual Lightning Lanes without paying for Genie +.

Note: a lot of times towards the end of the day lines are shorter at popular rides.

YOU WILL GET THE HANG OF IT, IT JUST TAKES A MINUTE.

LASTLY, please don't hesitate to ask a Cast Member for help.

Got my ticket to the Disney Very Merriest After Hours Event the night before my cruise! I’m so excited! If anyone wants me to plan their Disney World/Universal trip just give me a call! I have so many tips to share to make life easy for you. 801-859-9922

This my review of the resort we’re staying at in Orlando:
15 min. from Magic Kingdom
20 min. from Universal
We’re in a two bedroom townhome
One king and two twins and pull out sofa
King is descent but twins and pull out are just ok on a comfort scale but kids will sleep on almost anything
Flat screens in every room. Bring a Roku and binge Netflix or Prime Video at night
Full kitchen and two bathrooms
Bedrooms are upstairs
Activity room and small arcade
Ok size pool (pool food is just hamburgers, chicken fingers, chicken wings, quesadillas, etc. it’s good but nothing amazing. Expect a long wait.)
Good size Lazy river with tubes, two big water slides (slides close at 6pm), and large splash pad
Tons of activities (but a lot of them cost extra), especially on the weekends.
- today they had tidying shirts, snow cones, cotton candy, glitter tattoos, hula hoop contest, limbo, and arts and crafts spread throughout the day. It’s October and they have a haunted house that freaked my 8 year old out.
We rented a cabana for the day for just $75
and it’s totally worth it. Get 8,9 or #10 and make sure you come down to the recreation center and sign for it or your cabana could be taken. It has a fan, refrigerator, and they provide 6 cans of soda and a bunch of cold waters.
If you go into this expecting a 3 star resort you won’t be disappointed. It’s not upperscale at all but for $100/night it’s a great place to consider for a budget conscious family with kids. That is a really cheap price and you have a kitchen.
If you’re going to have a “down day”, which I would recommend, then this place is great.
Grocery store and fast food is close by
We like to buy things for breakfast and some dinners then all you have to pay for in parks is lunch, snacks, and a few days of dinners for the days you stay late at the parks.

Today was about space and gators!
Woke up around 3am and drove an hour to view the launch. We watched it on the bridge that looks over the Indian River. It lifted off at exactly 5:34am. I’ve seen a lot of launches from when I was a kid. I was happy that my family got to see one! They thought it was cool that you see the rocket before you hear it. It takes a bit before the sound travels across the river. In the video you don’t hear it as loud as you do in person. It was powerful.

Then we saw the sunrise at Cocoa Beach. The kids played feet deep in the water and John and I saw a shark swimming south.

We drove around Merritt Island for a little bit which is where I lived. If you look at a map half the land is Cape Canaveral and the other half is called Merritt Island. That’s why I was always able to watch the space shuttle launches from my backyard.

Then we spent some time at the Kennedy Space Center looking at the Saturn V exhibit.

That afternoon we went to Gatorland because the kids have never seen an alligator. In the video you can see that the guy in the show almost got a little too close. I told my kids now that you’ve seen an alligator you can check it off your list. Elizabeth said, “It’s not on my list.” 😂

Ok, if you're ever planning on visiting the breathtakingly, beautiful island of Kauai, then you have to visit this amazing patisserie! ORLY'S is the best bakery/pastry shop I've ever been to in the US. My old roommate,
Carolyn Camp Leu, and I got to sample quite a bit on the menu and even sat down with Orly himself and chatted about he and his business. He actually only opened his doors in September 2020. He was on the food network a few times and use to work in Vegas.
As far as his food, my favorites were the ham & cheese roll, lemon bar, quiche, and that incredible Lilikoi Cheesecake. It's the best cheesecake I've ever had. I was mostly sampling his food but had a hard time stopping at a few bites when it came to that cheesecake. I'm excited for my brother and sister in law because they get to try it soon. I'm so jealous. Here are some pics of the food we got to try. I hope you get to visit and if you do get a bunch of stuff and just try it all. Your on vacation after all!

One thing I try to do is fit everything in my carry-on suitcase then I get to avoid baggage claim. I don’t like worrying about if my luggage is going to be sent to Cincinnati or somewhere else. But the thing I don’t like the most about baggage claim is WAITING! I’m not the most patient person in the world. When I arrive somewhere I want to get going!

Please watch my video! I think you’ll find it interesting.

Here’s my adorable honeymoon couple touring the ruins of Tulum. They spent their honeymoon at Secrets Maroma Beach!

These are my first two amazing days in Kauai. I first went on a tubing adventure through many tunnels. We had head lamps. The guides were so fun and made the experience even better. Second day I got to kayak down the Hanalei River and look at the mountains and many flowered trees. I crashed in the trees at one point. Then we took a drive as far north as we could. The views of all the beaches were breathtaking. I can see why everyone says this is the most beautiful island of them all. I personally love each island for their own uniqueness. Strange how they can be so different.
