Hiya Robert. Welcome to planDisney and thank you for bringing your question to us. I love the convenience of
Disney Genie+ Service and I'm delighted to help with your question.
There's nothing quite like unlocking the phenomenal cosmic power of Genie+ to help with reducing the time spent in lines. There are a couple of ways that you can add Disney Genie+ Service to your theme park tickets. You can add this service to your tickets when you're making your initial ticket purchase. If you've already made your ticket purchase, you will have the opportunity to add Disney Genie+ Service through the
Disneyland app once you've been scanned into the parks. Keep in mind that Genie+ purchases are subject to availability and pricing can also vary. The purchase is for the day only and you will need to add on this service each day that you would like to use it during your visit. You will find the option to purchase in the app by tapping on the three horizontal lines in the lower right corner, then tapping the "Tip Board" tile. Towards the top of the screen, you'll find the option to purchase for the day.
Once you've been scanned into the parks and have added Genie+, you can make your first
Lightning Lane selection. Don't forget that you also get unlimited
Disney PhotoPass Digital Downloads for the entire day with Disney Genie+ Service. Be on the lookout for Disney PhotoPass Photographers to capture all of your magical memories.
There will be many fun and exciting things happening at the Disneyland Resort during your visit. The
Disney100 Celebration is currently happening and the
parks are decked out in their platinum and purple best. There are two new magical nighttime spectaculars. If you're a fan of Baymax, I highly recommend checking out
Wondrous Journeys. Over across the esplanade, the
California Adventure Food & Wine Festival will also be happening during your visit. This is one of my favorites and I can't wait to eat all of the food!
I hope this was helpful, Robert. Your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth will soon be here. If you have other questions, please come back to visit us. Until then, from a fellow Oregonian, stay warm and think happy thoughts.
Have a magical day!
Michelle
