Genie+ is a paid service offered by Disneyland Resort that allows guests to skip the standby line and enter through a special line called the Lightning Lane for most attractions. It costs $30 per person, per day, and can be purchased with tickets or separately. Genie+ also includes unlimited PhotoPass downloads.

Disney Genie, on the other hand, is a free planning tool available in the Disneyland app that provides attraction and dining recommendations based on guests interests. It can also help guests reduce time in lines and take the guesswork out of planning their day.

Its important to note that not all Disneyland attractions are available with Genie+ . Some of the Fantasyland rides and a few classic attractions such as Jungle Cruise and Pirates of the Caribbean operate with a standby line only. Additionally, some of the newest or most in-demand rides are excluded from Genie+ and require the purchase of an individual Lightning Lane pass.

If a guest purchases Genie+, they can select the next available arrival window for Lightning Lane entrances at participating attractions. Its worth noting that having a Genie+ time for an attraction does not guarantee immediate access to the ride, but rather a shorter wait time than the standby line.

In summary, Genie+ is a paid service that allows guests to skip the standby line and enter through a special line called the Lightning Lane for most attractions, while Disney Genie is a free planning tool available in the Disneyland app that provides attraction and dining recommendations based on guests interests.
