Hey there, Kimberly! Welcome to planDisney.
I'm glad to hear you have already secured your tickets and Disney Park Pass reservations for your upcoming visit. There are two ways to reserve Lightning Lane access to select attractions. A few premium attractions are designated as Individual Lightning Lane attractions. At this time, attractions included in this list are:
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
- Remy's Ratatouille Adventure
- Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
- Avatar Flight of Passage
Disney Resorts Collection hotel Guests may purchase up to two Individual Lightning Lane attractions each day beginning at 7:00 am. All other Guests may make their purchases beginning at the scheduled park opening time.
Over 40 additional attractions can be reserved, one at a time, with Disney Genie+ service. Disney Genie+ is an add-on purchase that allows Guests to reserve Lightning Lane access for a select group of attractions. Disney Genie+ may be added to multi-day theme park tickets in advance or purchased on a daily basis through the My Disney Experience app. To upgrade your tickets, use the menu button in the lower right corner of the home screen to select "Tickets and Passes", select the ticket you wish to upgrade, and look for the option to "Change Ticket". If you don't see the option to upgrade your ticket to add Disney Genie+ in advance, no worries! It only takes a few moments to purchase Disney Genie+ each day. To purchase in the app, use the menu button in the lower right corner of the home screen to select "My Genie Day" and click on the purple banner where you see "Get Disney Genie+ for Today". Disney Genie+ can be purchased any time after midnight on the date you plan to use it.
Once purchased, Guests may book Lightning Lane attractions one at a time any time after 7:00 am on the date of their visit, for the next available time window using the Tip Board in the My Disney Experience app. Subsequent Lightning Lane attractions may be booked after redeeming the first, or if the time window is later in the day, after two hours, whichever comes first. Guests are welcome to purchase either or both Individual Lightning Lane access and Disney Genie+.
I hope that helps! If you have any additional questions, please stop by and see us again. Enjoy your visit!
