Welcome to planDisney, Amol.
In a few short days, you'll be jumping on a magic carpet ride to a whole new world. The
50th Anniversary Celebration awaits you! Each of the four Theme Parks has plenty of EARidescent excitement for you to experience and enjoy. Don't miss the
Beacons of Magic displays and, if you want a photo challenge, see how many of the
Fab 50 Characters you can find.
Magic Kingdom Park is my favorite place in Walt Disney World Resort. My family and I most look forward to those first steps onto Main Street, USA. At that moment, the anticipation of makin' memories reaches its climax. The buzz of excited kids (young and old), as they begin their adventure, is contagious. The smell of chocolate from the Confectionery beckons. The charming music makes our hearts dance. The nostalgic beauty of the buildings reminds us we're "home." The smiles and greetings of cast members make us feel like characters in the Disney story. And then there's that moment when we catch our first glimpse of Cinderella Castle. Magic!
Since Magic Kingdom Park has so many attractions, purchasing
Disney Genie+ is a wise choice. You can purchase this service on the day of your visit. Simply upon up the
My Disney Experience App, click on the three lines at the bottom right corner of your screen, and then select "My Genie Day." There should be an option in purple that says "Get Disney Genie+ for Today." Once you select it, you'll find a list of all the people in your party that you've added via My Friends & Family. Select the members of your party that will use this service and then make your purchase.
Starting at 7:00 a.m. on that day, you'll be able to make your first Lightning Lane selection. Once you experience that attraction, or two hours after making your selection (whatever comes sooner), you'll be able to make another Lightning Lane selection. You can keep doing that throughout the day until there are no more Lightning Lane selections available.
I hope that's clarifying, Amol. My personal favorite attractions at Magic Kingdom Park are
Splash Mountain (sit in the front),
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (at night!),
Pirates of the Caribbean, and
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (again, I prefer at night).
I hope you have an enchanting trip, Amol. May all your wishes come true.
Mike
