Hiya there, Isabel!
Thank you so much for bringing your question to us here at planDisney. I'm so excited that your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth is just around the corner! It's a great year to visit the Disneyland Resort because there's going to be so much going on.
Normally, when you purchase your
Theme Park Tickets and select the
Genie+ option, it is automatically attached to your ticket. Your next opportunity to add Genie+ would have been after entering the Parks on the day of your visit, so I commend you for thinking ahead! To make sure that your transaction worked properly, open the
Disneyland Mobile App, press the three horizontal lines on the bottom right, then select "Tickets and Passes." Find your tickets and they should state "Genie+ Service" on them.
You'll be able to select your first
Lightning Lane reservation as soon as you scan your ticket and enter either Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure. Here's a tip: set a timer for two hours after you reserve a Lightning Lane so you'll know when you can book another reservation as soon as possible! You can also book another right after you've redeemed your current Lightning Lane reservation.
Be sure to check out all the delicious food offerings at the
Food & Wine Festival being held at Disney California Adventure while you're there! That's one of my favorite festivals and I love going around sampling all the sweet and savory dishes that the Disney chefs have concocted for us. When visiting Disneyland Park, join the fun as we celebrate 100 Years of Disney Magic in the
Disney100 Celebration!
I hope you are able to use this information, Isabel. We here at planDisney are thrilled to be able to help Guests in any way possible. Feel free to write to us again if you have any other questions and you can
write to me directly as well. Have a Magical Day!
