Hi Tom!
Me, oh my, oh Mickey! In not too long, you will be in
Walt Disney World in sight of Cinderella Castle ready to cruise with yo-ho-ho singing pirates, fly with Peter Pan, and enjoy Dole Whips!
You've never had a friend like Genie!
Disney's Genie+ is a new system that grants your wish to spend less time in line and more time zipping and dipping on roller coasters and encountering favorite characters. Throughout the entire day, Genie+ allows you to pick a time window for
Lightning Lane access for attractions, one at a time, using your
My Disney Experience app. You can reserve your first one starting at 7:00 am. If you snag a 9:30 am time for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, as soon as you tap into the wildest ride in the wilderness, you can book your next ride. You can use as many Genie+ Lightning Lane accesses as time and demand allow. On a recent trip, I was able to use half a dozen in the
Magic Kingdom, and then hop over to
Epcot and book a couple more.
Highly popular attractions, such as the
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, offer individual Lightning Lane selections as a separate purchase. These are also acquired through your My Disney Experience app the day of and you may buy up to two per day. Price varies by ride and demand.
Tom, if you have additional questions about Genie+ or anything else related to your upcoming visit to the mouse, we are happy to answer them here at
planDisney!
Enjoy your visit to see Mickey!
