The Walt Disney World Resort is determined to get its Guests properly acquainted with its AI Park day planner, Disney Genie, Genie+, and Individual Lightning Lane, and it recently added a list of tutorial videos to the MyDisneyExperience app in an effort to help Guests learn how to navigate them.

The last video also advertises extra magical features that come with purchasing Genie+, such as special Disney PhotoPass augmented reality lenses and streamlined access to assisting Cast Members via chat.

But the new videos suggest Disney’s intentions for the system go much further, as well as show a further commitment to eliminating any lingering confusion in differentiating Individual Lightning Lane Options from the Genie+ Lightning Lane selection.
