You can make one selection at a time all throughout the day. 40+ attractions are included at Walt Disney World and 15+ attractions will be available at Disneyland. Here is the full list. Additionally, select character sightings are part of the Genie+ service.

Genie+ does not have to be purchased for the entire length of your stay. This can be purchased ahead of time or the day of so you can pick and choose when you want to use it. This will be helpful on your rest days or when your are touring less busy parks.

It’s not really necessary at Animal Kingdom and Epcot but is actually very useful at Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios.
