Welcome to planDisney, Jackie.
The World's Most Magical Celebration is currently underway and guess what? You're invited! From the mesmerizing
Beacons of Magic to the
Fab 50 Character Collection, there's certainly something there that wasn't there before. I recently came back from my second "home" and had the most groovy time riding
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT. Here's a tip: for a more intense experience, sit in the back!
Disney Genie+ is a great way to upgrade your ticket. You'll have "phenomenal cosmic powers" that'll enable you to select Lightning Lane entrances at over 40 attractions throughout the Theme Parks. These entrances allow you to skip the regular standby lines and enjoy the attractions without waiting as long.
Jackie, starting June 8, Disney Genie+ will only be offered for purchase through the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit. In other words, Disney will no longer offer the option to purchase Disney Genie+ pre-arrival as a ticket add-on for dates remaining in 2022 and in 2023. However, since that date hasn't arrived yet, there is still time to add Disney Genie+ to your tickets for the entirety of your stay. You'll need to call "
Existing Tickets" and speak directly to a Cast Member. Due to the high volume of callers, it might take some time to get a hold of somebody. Whenever I have to call, I usually find something else to do while I wait on hold, such as clean the dishes, fold the laundry, read a book, play a board game with my wife, etc. But they should be able to wave their magic wand and make your wishes come true.
I hope that's helpful, Jackie. I'm sure you'll have a truly magical time!
See ya real soon!
Mike
