Guests can select Lightning Lane return times for their favorite attractions for $20 per Guest per day at Disneyland and $15 per Guest per day at Walt Disney World.
When Genie+ debuted, Guests could purchase the service ahead of their vacation. But too many Guests utilized the service, leading Disney to warn Guests ahead of purchasing that their favorite attractions may not be unavailable on the nonrefundable service.
A recent Disneyland Park Guest took to Reddit to share a photo of a lengthy Lightning Lane queue for Indiana Jones Adventure. “Glad I spent the extra money for this,” user u/sullyman22 wrote:
The queue extended past the standard Lightning Lane entrance for the ride, while the standby queue was much shorter.
It’s important to note that Lightning Lane Guests get admitted to rides at a much higher rate than standby Guests. Lightning Lane will almost always be faster than waiting for your favorite Disney Parks attraction, even with a lengthy line.

Indiana Jones Adventure is a thrill ride at Disneyland Park recommended for kids, tweens, teens, and adults with a 46-inch height requirement. From Disney:
Embark on a fast-paced thrill ride in search of Indiana Jones—enter this cursed temple at your own risk!
An Ancient Legend
Follow Indy’s footsteps into the crumbling Temple of the Forbidden Eye past intricate booby traps. Inspect carvings and frescos that tell the story of Mara, a powerful deity who promises great treasures—and vengeance to those foolish enough to gaze into its all-seeing eyes.
Brave Unimaginable Perils
Board a rugged troop transport and enter the Chamber of Destiny. Confront inconceivable dangers, like precarious precipices over molten lava, screaming mummies, swarms of giant insects, spear-throwing wraiths, collapsing bridges, slithering snakes—and a massive rolling boulder.
If you find yourself in jeopardy, only one man is brave enough—or crazy enough—to save you… Dr. Jones!
