A new version of My Disney Experience is now available with support for the recently announced improvements to Disney Genie+ at Walt Disney World.

Version 7.19 can be found in the Apple App Store for iOS devices, and the same update is also available for Android users.

Disney Genie overview

Using the updated My Disney Experience app, guests can now modify an existing booking without first canceling a reservation and making another booking. This only applies to Lightning Lanes that are part of Genie+, and not those that are Individual Attraction Purchases.

The update also allows a guest to search for other Lightning Lane experiences and times prior to modifying the existing reservation. Note that the new selection must be in the same park. To book a selection in another park, the original reservation must be canceled.

How to modify Genie+ Lightning Lane selections

In Disney Genie service, select either the Tip Board or My Day tab.
Tap the Lightning Lane selection you wish to modify. A short menu will appear.
From the short menu , select the type of change you want and follow the resulting prompts.
Check to make sure the new experience, party makeup or time is correct.
Tap “Confirm Change,” then “Done.”

Disney Genie overview

Making a change to a Lightning Lane selection will not change the timeframe for when the next selection can be made. You will be able to make another Lightning Lane selection with Disney Genie+ service once you redeem your current selection, once the full arrival window has passed, or after 120 minutes has passed from the original booking (or 120 minutes after the published park opening time, whichever is later).

I was also there last week. Went to AK on 11/13. Didn't ride FOP, but under 5 min wait for Safari, Everest, dino, and triceratops. I waited 12 mins for Navi at the end of the night. MK of 11/14 (party day). I did LL for most attractions, but 10ish min wait for Buzz and small world. Finally EPCOT on 11/16 was actually busy, we LL everything but Frozen and remy were both posed over 70 mins when we rode and SSE and Soain were both 20+.

You must be mistaken. We were just told by people in the parks 2 weeks ago that they were packed, lines were long, and dining reservations difficult to obtain. Are you sure Tron wasn’t 85 minutes and your rose-colored glasses aren’t altering your memories to push an agenda? 😉

Yes, agreed! We were just there last week and ALL waits were pretty low. Low enough to where we didn’t pay anything ride related, but still managed to ride all we wanted - sometimes multiple times . The longest line in waited in was tron, which was 35 mins. Easy peasy.

I guess a little bit of that old money was spent. Wonder if they got a good interest rate.

Unless money was a make or break decision. Why would anyone want to wait in line willingly when there is another option?

Yep been there 😂 I won’t say getting both LLs is impossible but you would likely have to try multiple times throughout the day. When my kids were younger, we would rope drop one and LL the other.

We could but with a 5 and 4 year old, we try to avoid 45+ minute waits lol. We do have extra magic hours on Monday when we go next month so we will probably try to hit those two rides for sure.
