Easy Diz It: Recent Episodes
Justin Lopes
Join us and we'll talk about making Disney World easier and more enjoyable! Disney planning, news, and entertainment through the lens of mindfulness, behavioral health, and humor.
Well folks, Justin and Autumn are back at it again with another jam-packed episode of Easy Diz It! This time, they're tackling the controversial topic of how to use Disney's Genie+ system without being glued to your phone the entire vacation.
They kick things off with some friendly banter about Autumn's car troubles and the woes of car shopping as a couple. But soon enough we dive right into the main topic.
Justin gets fired up reading a strongly-worded 1-star review from a guest named Edward. Poor Edward felt like he spent more time stressing about Genie+ reservations than actually enjoying himself. Cue Autumn reeling Justin back in - they agree constant phone use takes away from the magic of family time at Disney.
This leads into their helpful tips for minimizing phone time with Genie+. First up is the "Use, Make" strategy - book your first Lightning Lane at 7am, then after using it, book your next one. Only check for modifications during scheduled breaks. Simple but effective!
How to Maximize Genie+ Without Being Tied to Your Phone from WDW Magazine
Next is hiring the Standby Skipper app to book your Lightning Lanes for you. At $25 a day or $5 a week, Justin and Autumn debate if the convenience is worth the cost.
Standby Skipper
Other suggestions include setting firm phone checking rules, reconsidering Genie+ during lower crowd times, and focusing on individual Lightning Lane rides.
Great info from TouringPlans:
How Much Time Can I Save with Genie+ at WDW?
At the end of the day, efficiency isn't everything - it's about soaking up those magical moments with your crew!

Here on Easy Diz It, We share ideas on staying happy and healthy in the parks. And we have some fun with news games and trivia. This week we discussed among other things, vacationing solo in theme parks.
Highly Suspect Headlines (Disney News Game)
Disneyland’s Adventureland Treehouse re-theme revealed as the Encanto Treehouse
- This was rumoured for a while as they have been working on it since 2021
- Was Swiss Family originally, then re-themed to Tarzan in
- New theme is inspired by the original Swiss Family Treehouse, but will be based on a new family.
- Expanded ground level attractions kitchen, dining room, and Fathers art studio, that features sketches of the rooms above
Doctor Who coming to Disney+
- Beginning in 2023, Disney will begin airing new Doctor Who episodes
- Tenant is coming back!
Small World in Disneyland adds a mobility impaired character
- Appeared when reopening with holiday overlay
- "The dolls are participating inclusively alongside their non-disabled peers, which is something we want to see more of, instead of being depicted as limited or incapable because of a disability," Houghton
Three tips from a nerd focuses on traveling solo
Save money- You can also save money by using the single rider lines instead of buying whatever skip the line product is available. At Disney World, there are only 4 attractions that have single rider: Millennium Falcon, Expedition Everest, Test Track, Rock n Roller coaster. Universal Studios has a ton of single riders. And most other theme parks have them too. Single rider lines are usually best when the ride vehicles seat 4 or 6 to a row. Two by two roller coaster usually aren't that good. Expedition Everest being a huge exception.
Avoid hassle- Wait less for food and drink by sitting at the bar. Toothsome's Chocolate Emporium was my latest example. Fantastic restaurant, tough to get a seat. Bar seating was available on a Saturday night!
Have more fun- Strike up conversations in line.
If you're like me, fun can go either way for this type of thing. Social initiations can be a lot of work and anxiety producing. So here are some things I do.
Opening line: Have you been on this yet?
If the answer is brief the conversation is over.
If the answer is enthusiastic either way, a follow up might be: Did you like it? or Have you heard anything about it?
At this point you’ve done your work for an initiation and the ball is in their court if they want to keep the conversation going.
Document the line experience. If you don’t want to talk to people, or you are socially drained: Pretend you are a theme park journalist or vlogger. It gives you something to do!

We talked about the Keys to the Kingdom Tour at Magic Kingdom. At $114 and 5 hours, this tour is somehow pricey but still feels like a good deal!

When they discover that the mansion is haunted, they contact a priest, played by Owen Wilson, who then, in turn, seeks the help of a scientist and floundering paranormal expert, played by LaKeith Stanfield, and a French Quarter psychic, played by Tiffany Haddish, and a grumpy historian, played by Danny DeVito.

- My family prefers to enjoy less popular rides or attend shows (usually families with younger kids)
- I plan to build itineraries ahead of time (I can help with this)

https://www.disneytouristblog.com/lightning-lanes-genie-plus-disney-world-faq-guide/
Here is a link to the blog entry on Touring Plans that will help you decide if Genie+ is worth it for your travel party.
https://touringplans.com/blog/how-much-wait-time-will-i-save-with-genie/
We discuss stacking strategy and back to back strategy for booking lightnig lanes with genie plus. We discussed an oversimplified method for determining if Genie+ is “worth it” for your group.
- Calculate the cost of Genie+ per day
- Pick the first 4 rides from the graph in the Touring Plans Blog post above that your family has to ride. Add up the average wait times.
- Thought experiment: Imagine Mickey calls you the night before your park day to make a deal. Pay the dollar amount from #1 above to save the amount of time from #2. Do you take it?
