Hi Colin! Welcome to planDisney!
Oh boy! Only one more night until you get to spend a fun-filled day at the
Walt Disney World Resort! I’m sure you have your day mapped out with countless experiences to take part in. Adding on Disney Genie+ will only help you maximize your time there.
It’s a simple process to add on this service the day of your visit. To add
Disney Genie+ the morning of your park day, log in to the My Disney Experience App on your mobile device and tap on the three horizontal bars on the bottom right of the screen. Select “My Genie Day” and you will see a purple bar that reads “Get Disney Genie+ for Today”. Tap on that and follow the directions to add the service. Make sure to complete this before 7 AM so you are ready to make your first selection at that time!
Starting at 7 AM, log back on to your
My Disney Experience App and navigate to “My Genie Day”. Tap on “Tip Board” and select the park you want to make your first selection for. Scroll down to the attraction you want to pick and tap on it to secure your arrival window. If that selection is within two hours of park opening, you'll be able to make your next selection once you ride that attraction. If your first selection is for later in the day, you'll be able to make a second selection two hours after the official park opening.
Having Disney Genie+ at your disposal will be a great benefit to have if you do not want to wait in lines throughout the day. This is especially true when traveling with little ones since they tend to get restless pretty quickly. I prefer to grab a snack or catch a Cavalcade instead of waiting in the standby queue for an attraction.
Don't forget about the
Individual Lightning Lane attractions that you can purchase in addition to Disney Genie+. There is currently one ride per park that you can pay separately to purchase an arrival window for. If you're staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel or other select hotels, you can make a selection starting at 7 AM. If not, you will need to wait until the official park opening.
Colin, I hope you have a magical day tomorrow at Walt Disney World! Have the best time!
See ya real soon!
