Hi Heather! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question!
Purchasing
Disney Genie+ is a great way to maximize your time in the parks! It allows you to bypass the standby queue on many attractions which will free you up to experience so much more on each day. I've had wonderful experiences utilizing this service on many previous trips.
Unfortunately, you cannot purchase Disney Genie+ ahead of your stay. The only way to add it to your park tickets is by purchasing it each day. In order to do so, download the
My Disney Experience App to your mobile device and log into your My Disney Experience account. Then, beginning at midnight of each park day, tap on the purple bar that reads "Disney Genie+ Service." You'll then need to select which park you are visiting on that day since there is varied pricing for each one. If you added the Park Hopper Option, select the Multiple Parks option to be able to use at each park. Follow these same steps each day you plan to utilize the service.
On the days that you purchase Disney Genie+, you can begin making your first
Lightning Lane selection at 7 AM. This will give you a chance to have one set up before you enter the park on each day. Once you use your first selection, you can immediately make another one. If your initial selection is for later in the day, you can make a second selection two hours after the official park opening time.
Heather, I hope this information helps you plan for your visit!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
See ya real soon!
