Magic Kingdom: My Ideal Genie+ & Lightning Lane Gameplan

If I had it my way, I’d probably split Magic Kingdom into two approaches over two days (ideally, not guaranteed!):

1. One day focusing on Individual Lightning Lanes (ILLs)

2. Another day focusing on Genie+ selections

Here’s how my ideal Genie+ day might look:

• Rope drop: Start with The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh—a gentle, low-effort ride to ease into the day.

• First Genie+ selection: Peter Pan’s Flight (because it’s iconic and always popular).

• If we can: Hit Space Mountain next.

Other priority rides I’m keeping in mind (at the time of making this plan):

• Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin (currently uncertain if open, but a must if it’s available)

• Haunted Mansion (another Genie+ priority)

Stacking options for lower-effort rides or second selections:

• Dumbo the Flying Elephant

• “It’s a Small World”

• Mad Tea Party

• The Magic Carpets of Aladdin

• Pirates of the Caribbean

• Tomorrowland Speedway

• Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid

These are perfect for pacing myself while still hitting classics, especially if I want to maximize Genie+ efficiently.
