Howdy, Kelsie,
My family and I love the convenience of
Disney PhotoPass too. It’s wonderful to not have to worry about missing anyone in the photo. And the
Magic Shots are so much fun! There are multiple
Disney PhotoPass products available to Guests of the Disneyland Resort, including a one-week pass and complimentary access to PhotoPass included with the Disneyland Resort version of Disney Genie+.
As a Guest who has used the Disney PhotoPass products at the Walt Disney World Resort, you will likely find the Disney PhotoPass+ One Week product familiar. Using that product, you will be granted access to download your PhotoPass photos, Magic Shots, and attraction photos from up to seven consecutive days at the Disneyland Resort. That is a great product for Guests with longer stays or who visit the theme parks on non-consecutive days during their
Southern California vacation.
For most Guests looking for Disney PhotoPass services at the Disneyland Resort, I recommend purchasing the
Disney Genie+ service. Genie+, an add-on to the complimentary
Disney Genie service, includes downloads of Disney PhotoPass photos, Magic Shots, and attraction photos taken on the days you have purchased the Genie+ service. If your Disneyland Resort
theme park tickets already come with Genie+ pre-purchased, you will have this entitlement included already for each day you visit the theme parks. Note that the bundling of Disney PhotoPass with the Disney Genie+ service is a Disneyland Resort exclusive. Of course, when you purchase Genie+ for all of the members of your party, you gain the main benefit of the service: access to the
Lightning Lane queue of several attractions in both
Disneyland Park and
Disney California Adventure Park.
Tony’s Tip: Another Disneyland Resort feature of Genie+ is access to Audio Tales. You can think of these like miniature podcasts that offer deeper background information, details, and tips about your favorite attractions and lands at the Disneyland Resort. And don’t worry if you don’t have time to listen to all of them during your visit to the Disneyland Resort. The Audio Tales will remain accessible in the
Disneyland app for weeks after you purchase Genie+.
Thanks for returning to visit us here at planDisney, Kelsie. We’d love to hear from you again if you have any more questions to ask about your Disneyland Resort vacation or other Disney Parks experiences.
