OP, I felt exactly as you did prior to my Disneyland trip this past June. Everything seems like it changed so much from my last trip in 2019 and the Genie+ and Lightening Lane thing just had me shutting down every time I tried to wrap my brain around it. But in the end, it all worked out well. My advice, try not to read anymore about how to navigate it. Words just don't seem to capture it and it makes it sound worse than it is. There's a few videos out (don't have links to them--sorry) that essentially shows a person doing it on their phone. I watched that a couple of times and then figured, okay, I just know where I need to log in and what I need to do first. Once I got in the park and started, IT WAS SO EASY. Really. And in then end, I loved it so much better than the FastPass system of 2019 where you had to actually book what you wanted to ride MONTHS in advance. I hated that. The Genie+ works much better for those of us that don't want to decide 2 months in advance what day and time we want to ride Flight of Passage for example. Ugh. So in that regard, I'm a fan.
The dining reservations seem to be the same as they were before so you should be a pro at that.
