Hi there, Bret, and thanks for bringing your question to
planDisney!
You’re
just a few weeks away from your getaway to the
Happiest Place on Earth… let the countdown begin! I’d love to help you access the cosmic power of
Disney Genie+ Service, my favorite handy helper in the parks. Since it sounds like you already purchased your
theme park tickets, you can now add Genie+ to your tickets on a daily basis by using the
Disneyland app after arriving inside either of the theme parks.
Here’s how it works: As soon as your tickets are scanned and you’ve entered Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park, open the home screen of your Disneyland app. From there, tap on the three lines in the lower-right corner. Select “My Genie Day” and look for “Get Disney Genie+ for Today.” Now, tap “Get Disney Genie+ Service,” and you’ll be prompted to select which tickets are eligible to add Genie+ for that day. Simply select the tickets you’d like to add the service to, and off you go!
Once this transaction is complete, you can go ahead and book your first
Genie+ Lightning Lane attraction. You’ll be able to choose from about 18 attractions between the two theme parks if you have Park Hopper tickets. Just keep in mind that you won’t be able to “hop” to the other park until after 1:00 PM. Also, there are currently three attractions not included in Genie+, including
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure, and Radiator Springs Racers. These attractions can be purchased as
Individual Lightning Lanes, and you can buy up to two of them per day.
Bret, did you know that Genie+ also includes unlimited downloads of your Disney's PhotoPass Service pictures from the day? This is one of my favorite perks of this service! Keep an eye out for PhotoPass opportunities at some Character dining locations and on select attractions, too. You’ll be able to view your PhotoPass pictures from the convenience of your Disneyland app.
I hope this information helps! Please stop back with any additional questions, Bret… we’re all EARs!
Can’t wait to see ya’ real soon,
Kristin
