Hi Hannah,
Welcome to planDisney!
Disney Genie+ is the new way to book rides and attractions utilizing the Lightning Lane. While it’s a different process than years prior, it is helpful to get the most out of your Disney day!
Since you said your tickets were already purchased and they now include Disney Genie+, you would simply use the service on your next trip. To utilize the service, at 7:00 a.m. on the day you’re going to the Theme Parks, you’ll be able to book your first Lightning Lane attraction within the Genie section of the mobile app. If you’re staying on property at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel (and a few others), you’ll also be able to book an Individual Lightning Lane at 7:00 a.m. (separate purchase necessary). If you’re not staying on property, Hakuna Matata, you can book your Individual Lightning Lane once the Theme Parks open. Each day you’re limited to two Individual Lightning Lanes per person.
Once you use your Lightning Lane or two hours after you book one, you’re able to select another (based on availability). You’ll continue this process throughout the day! And keep in mind, you’re still able to use the standby entrance for your favorite attractions as well. For example, if you’re utilizing Early Entry, that’s a great time to ride a must-do attraction through the standby line!
I hope this “Bit By Bryanna” is helpful as you learn more about Disney Genie+ with your upcoming holiday. If you have any other planning questions in the meantime,
please feel free to reach out, I’m always happy to help!
