Hi guys! Having not been to a Disney park since 2016, I've yet to experience the new Genie, Genie+, and Lightning Lane. I find a lot of the information online to be sort of confusing, so I figured this was the place to ask about it. I am going to Disney with my three year old in April (yes, I will be looking at all the new creds and crying because he's not tall enough for many of them... I don't know how my heart can take it other than knowing I'll be back later in the year, I guess!) and I am really trying to minimize my time waiting in lines. He's quite tall for his age and is able to get on most rides, but like many three year olds, has next to no patience. Is Genie+ worth it? How exactly does it work with booking ride time slots? Also, from my understanding, is Lightning Lane included in the Genie+ but then there are a few rides you have to purchase separately? Also, for each park, what is the main attraction to get to first either in early entry or otherwise? We're staying on properly so we do get the early entry, but is everything open during that half hour window? Do the character lines get long and is it worth it to use up a line skip on the characters?
One other question not pertaining to rides or early entry, what would be your best suggestion for a specialty restaurant? I figure we'll probably do one or a character dining experience while we're there. I've done Akershus, but he's not really into the princesses.
Thanks for the help!
