More Changes Have Been Made to Genie+ For Park Hopping Guests
Genie+ went through an update today and some changes were made to guests with park hopping privileges. Guests will no longer be able to book Lightning Lane selections if the distribution time is before 2pm. Guests will now only be able to book a Lightning Lane with a distribution time of 2pm or later.

Here’s a better way to break it down:
If you are park hopping that day and you are trying to book a Lightning Lane attraction for your next park of the day, you won’t be able to select a return time for an attraction at that next park until 2pm (start of hopping) or later. So if you are in your first park of the day, early in the morning for example, and you are trying to book a return time for attractions for your second park of the day, you will essentially need to keep refreshing until selection times hit 2pm or later.

Before this change was made, guests were able to make Lightning Lane return times for when they were able to hop.

This is taking availability away from park hoppers but giving more availability to those that will be in the park all day. Definitely throws a curve ball into plans of those with park hoppers who are wanting to “stack” their Lightning Lan return times.
