Stephanie, thanks for bringing your question to planDisney!
Genie+ is an optional service for Guests visiting the Disneyland Resort. Using Genie+, Guests will have access to
Lightning Lanes, which allow Guests to enjoy shorter wait times for a select number of attractions. Additionally, Genie+ comes with free
PhotoPass downloads.
As I shared before, the service is optional, but if you would like to still enjoy the perks of Genie+, you have other options besides using your own mobile device. Guests can link multiple tickets to a single
Disneyland Mobile App account. If there is someone else in your party with a compatible phone, they can add your ticket to their account, purchase Genie+ for you, and book Lightning Lanes on your behalf. In fact, linking tickets to just one account makes enjoying the day easier than everyone managing Genie+ Lightning Lane reservations individually.
Have fun during your trip in April. And I hope while you're at the Happiest Place on Earth, that you have plenty of time to eat your way through the
Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival, hosted from March 4 through April 26, 2022.
Best wishes,
Lola
