Hiya Dustin,
Welcome to planDisney! Are you excited to be starting your vacation at Walt Disney World Resort on Sunday?! I’m still in the planning stages of my next trip, so I’m admittedly a little jealous that you will be visiting one of my most favorite places in the world. I know you are going to have a fantastic time! It is also opening weekend for
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, so be sure to check out this
fun post on how to experience Disney’s latest attraction during your visit.
With
Genie+ services, you can spend less time waiting in standby lines and more time experiencing some of your favorite attractions at Walt Disney World Theme Parks. Until June 8th, Guests can purchase Genie+ pre-arrival during their initial ticket purchase. If you didn’t purchase Genie+ when you purchased your Theme Park tickets, don’t worry, you can still buy Genie+ for your vacation; you will just need to add it on before each day of your vacation. Genie+ services can be added starting at midnight Saturday, May 29th (the day of your visit) or your first Disney Park Pass Reservation date. Please note that you will only be able to purchase Genie+ services for one day at a time and will need to repeat this process every day you plan to use Genie+ services.
To add Genie+ daily:
1. Log on to your
My Disney Experience mobile app.
2. Click the three horizontal lines in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
3. Select “My Genie Day” and click “Get Disney Genie+ Service.”
Once purchased, you will then be able to add your first Lightning Lane experiences beginning at 7 am later that morning. One last pro tip for you, you do not need to stay up until midnight to purchase Genie+ services. If you are up, then feel free to do so; otherwise, I would wait until you wake up for your Theme Park day (provided it is before 7 am) to purchase. Vacation sleep is precious so I always advocate getting as much as you can.
I hope you can add Genie+ and have all of your wishes granted for your vacation this weekend! If there is anything else we can help you with, come back and see us!
Happy Planning!
