Hey there, Sam and a warm welcome to planDisney. Thanks for swinging by to share your question with us. Hooray! Your visit to the Disneyland Resort is practically here and I'm so excited for you.
I love to hear that you want to summon Genie and take advantage of the phenomenal cosmic power of
Disney Genie+ Service. So you didn't add this service when you purchased your tickets? To that, I say, Hakuna Matata and there's absolutely no need to feel any type of regret. You most certainly can add Disney Genie+ on the day of your visit and I'm happy to tell you how.
Once your ticket has been scanned and you've entered the theme park, you can add Disney Genie+ Service. Open the
Disneyland app where you will find a banner near the middle of the screen to make your purchase. Disney Genie+ Service is limited in availability and pricing varies day by day. I recommend getting to the park early to make your purchase and start making your
Lightning Lane selections right away.
I used Disney Genie+ during my last visit with my friends and it was a game changer when it came to how many attractions we were able to experience. Just be sure to keep an eye on when you can book your next Lightning Lane to maximize your time. And if you will be visiting the park with a group of friends or family, I recommend linking everyone's tickets for ease of booking Lightning Lane selections throughout the day.
Finally, don't forget that you also get
unlimited Disney PhotoPass digital downloads from the day. The
Holidays at the Disneyland Resort just started and will be in full force during your visit and there will be plenty of scenic backdrops for wonderful pictures around the theme parks. A shot in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle is always iconic - try it at night with all the lights and icicles. Make sure to make time to stop and catch the snow falling on Main Street, U.S.A. - there's nothing more magical.
Well, Sam, I hope I've given you the information you were looking for to have your best Disney day. If you're curious about anything else before you visit, come back to ask us. Otherwise, here's wishing you a merry time at the Happiest Place on Earth!
