Hi Caroline, welcome to planDisney!
Thank you so much for bringing your question to us! I think you're referring to the new
Disney Genie+ service, which by the way, I'm a huge fan of! I recently visited the
Disneyland Resort and my family and I heavily used Genie+. It allowed us to avoid the standby lines for most attractions, and it gave us access to the
Lightning Lane entrances! Lightning Lane entrances are set up throughout
Disneyland Park and
Disney California Adventure Park, to give you quicker entry to certain attractions, typically resulting in less time spent waiting in line. OH! And a big bonus, you also get unlimited
Disney PhotoPass Digital Downloads with your purchase of Genie+! Neat right? Since you've already purchased your
theme park tickets, you will need to wait until you've entered the parks to purchase Genie+ through the
Disneyland Mobile App.
And you've chosen a great time to visit the parks! I see you're arriving towards the end of May, which is perfect. You'll be able to experience the return of the traditional character meet and greets, the
Main Street Electrical Parade, the
Disneyland Forever fireworks,
Fantasmic!, and
World of Color. Pretty exciting that all of these experiences will be back by the time you arrive right?
In the meantime, if you have any other questions at all, please visit us again!
See ya real soon!
