Hi Megan,
Welcome to planDisney! I'm thrilled to hear that you're planning a visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth for next
spring, and hope that even the planning process is filling your days with pixie dust!
Anyone who would like to take advantage of accessing the
Lightning Lanes will need to purchase
Disney Genie+ and/or
Individual Lightning Lane selections. These services are priced per person rather than per party, so if you have multiple Mouseketeers wanting to use the service, you'll want to add it for each person. Disney Genie+ may be added ahead of time as long as you'd like it for every day of your ticket. You'll simply
locate your ticket within your My Disney Experience account (or click the three horizontal lines and select "Tickets and Passes" within the
My Disney Experience app) and select "Change Ticket." If you'd prefer to play it by ear and see what the wait times are like first, you may also add it one day at a time within the app. It will be available to purchase any time after midnight, and you'll be able to make your first Disney Genie+ selection beginning each day at 7:00 AM.
Of course, please don't forget that
Disney Genie is a complimentary service that will help you build the perfect itinerary and make the most of your days. It's available for all Guests through the My Disney Experience app whether or not you choose to add Disney Genie+ or any Individual Lightning Lane selections.
We appreciate you visiting us here at planDisney, Megan. I hope you have a truly magical vacation and make memories to cherish for years to come!
Missy
