Disney Genie, Genie+ & Lightning Lane
Disney Genie is a virtual assistant that helps Disney fans plan their vacation to Walt Disney World. It can help you find the best deals on flights, hotels, and tickets, as well as provide personalized recommendations for attractions and restaurants. It also provides up-to-date information about park hours and wait times.
Genie & Lightning Lane is a partnership between Disney Genie and Lyft that offers discounted rides to the parks. Customers can book a car with their mobile device or through the Genie app, and then use their MagicBand to pay for the ride when they arrive at the park. This service is currently available in Orlando, Florida.
Both Disney Genie and Genie & Lightning Lane are great tools for planning your next trip to Walt Disney World. They make it easy to save money on transportation costs and ensure you get the most out of your visit by providing personalized recommendations for attractions and restaurants.
