Hey there, Devon! Thanks for swinging by planDisney to ask about
Disney Genie+ before your big adventure at the Happiest Place on Earth!
You’re smart to be exploring the
Disneyland mobile app before your arrival, so you can get acquainted with how Genie+ will grant your wishes.
In the Disneyland mobile app, click on Tip Board. At the top where you see the park and date listed, there is a link to “Change Park.” You can select Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park here.
Keep in mind you won’t be able to make
Lightning Lane selections until you are physically inside one of the parks. Since you have a
Park Hopper ticket, you’ll be able to make selections for one park from the other. For instance, while you’re at Disney California Adventure Park in the morning, you can search for Lightning Lane times at Disneyland Park in the afternoon. The app will show you times after 1:00 p.m. since it knows you have a Park Hopper ticket and can hop over anytime after that!
A couple of other tips to maximize the magic of Genie+…
~ You can be holding more than one Lightning Lane selection at a time. You can make your next selection either once you have redeemed your prior selection, or 120 minutes after making your prior selection, whichever comes first. For example, at 9:00 a.m. if you reserve a Lightning Lane for Incredicoaster at 12:00 p.m., you can make another selection at 11:00 a.m., even though you haven’t redeemed the Incredicoaster Lightning Lane yet.
~ Genie+ comes with complimentary access to
Disney PhotoPass! This includes both the photos taken by photographers throughout the parks and attraction photos. This is a wonderful perk that my family and I really enjoy.
Wishing you magic and adventure – all you gotta do is rub that lamp!
