Hi Joel, welcome to planDisney!
You're talking like a pro when it comes to planning your Walt Disney World Resort vacation. You already know about
Disney Genie+ service, which gives Guests access to Lightning Lane entrances at over 40 attractions throughout the four theme parks. You also know the importance of connecting with your planning party as
Family and Friends in My Disney Experience. Let's see if I can stump you with a fact I learned recently on
Disney's Keys to the Kingdom Tour. Did you know the names on the second-story windows along Main Street, U.S.A., in Magic Kingdom Park are the equivalent of rolling credits in a movie? Keep an eye out for Director Walt's window, which faces Cinderella Castle by
The Plaza Restaurant.
The short answer to your question is an enthusiastic, "yes!" It is possible to purchase Disney Genie+ service and book Genie+ Lightning Lanes on different devices. Here's how it works. Genie+ can be purchased any time after midnight on each park day via the Tip Board of the
My Disney Experience mobile app (three small lines at the bottom right of the home page --> Tip Board). Once purchased, Genie+ Lightning Lane attractions are also booked via the Tip Board by scrolling to your desired attraction and selecting the "LL Disney Genie+" button. The second step of both processes asks you to confirm the members of your party. To purchase Genie+, all members of your
Family and Friends List with valid admission and a
theme park reservation can be selected. When booking Genie+ Lightning Lane attractions, all members of your Family and Friends List with Genie+ service linked to their admission can be selected. On my most recent family vacation, I purchased Disney Genie+ service for everyone in my party, and my husband and I took turns booking our next Genie+ Lightning Lane attractions.
My best tip for maximizing the magic on your park days with Disney Genie+ service is to purchase it by 6:45 a.m. so you can book your first Genie+ Lightning Lane attraction at 7:00 a.m. sharp. The early bird gets the earliest arrival time!
Plan magic; planDisney.
