    We already bought our park tickets for Disney World. When / how do I add the genie option?

    Hi, Robert! Welcome to planDisney.

    There’s nothing quite like the excitement of purchasing a Walt Disney World theme park ticket, knowing that magic, adventure, and unforgettable memories await. From soaring through the stars on Space Mountain to entering the Grid on TRON Lightcycle / Run, every moment is filled with wonder. And now, Disney has made it even easier to experience more magic and less waiting with an updated way to access shorter lines for your favorite attractions!

    Disney has introduced Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass, replacing the Disney Genie+ Service to give Guests an even better experience. These options let you skip the regular standby lines by selecting return times for your favorite attractions when you purchase, making your day smoother and more enjoyable. Multi Pass allows you to choose up to three attractions in advance, letting you breeze through the Lightning Lane queue throughout the day. Once you've used one of your selections, you may even be able to book another, depending on availability. Single Pass is perfect for those must-do rides, giving you the chance to bypass the regular line once on a single, typically high-demand attraction (for example, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance or Avatar Flight of Passage).

    Both passes require an additional purchase, but the time you save means more magical moments enjoying the attractions, shows, and character encounters that make Walt Disney World so special. If you're staying at a Disney Resort hotel or select partner hotel, you can purchase Lightning Lane passes up to 7 days before your arrival, giving you a head start on securing spots for the most popular attractions. All other Guests can purchase up to 3 days in advance of their theme park visit. Passes become available daily at 7:00 AM (ET) through the My Disney Experience app.

    And the magic doesn’t stop there! If your park ticket includes Park Hopper benefits, you can even reserve attractions across multiple parks, making it easier than ever to enjoy every bit of Disney fun. Plus, as an extra sprinkle of pixie dust, you’ll receive complimentary attraction photos and videos from your day with Disney PhotoPass Service, along with access to Disney PhotoPass Lenses to add even more enchantment to your memories.

    I hope that's helpful, Robert. As we say in Liverpool, "Have a boss trip, mate!"
