How exciting, you are just days away from your magical
Walt Disney World vacation. I bet you are just counting the hours until you are in the middle of The World's Most Magical Celebration! What a great resort selection.
Disney's Old Key West is beautiful and I love how close it is to
Disney Springs for late night shopping and dining options.
There are so many new things to see and enjoy as Walt Disney World celebrates its 50th anniversary so adding Disney Genie+ to your park days is a great idea. If you are not familiar with the system, you will need to have the
My Disney Experience app on your phone and an active account established before adding Genie+. While you are no longer able to add Genie+ in advance, Hakuna Matata, no worries. You can purchase Disney Genie+ service each day that you will be visiting a park. I actually love this change as you only need to pay for the service on the days you select but do not need to purchase Disney Genie + if you choose to enjoy a few days at your resort or playing a round of golf at one of
Disney's amazing golf courses.
Disney Genie + will be available to purchase anytime after midnight on the day you will be using the service. However, if you are like Cinderella and the stroke of midnight is not your favorite time of the day, you can also set your alarm and purchase Disney Genie+ service just before 7:00 am EST each morning. This will allow you to purchase Disney Genie+ service and make your very first Lightning Lane selection at 7:00 am EST. To purchase, simply visit your My Disney experience app and on your home screen, there will be an option that allows you to purchase for today. Just click this option, select the guest in your party that you are purchasing for and confirm the purchase, and you will see Genie was right - you ain't never had a friend like him!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney and letting us help with your vacation planning. Wishing you and your family the most magical trip ever.
With Pixie Dust,
