Hi Thomas! We are so happy you stopped by planDisney with your question today!
I am so happy to read you are interested in purchasing
Disney Genie+ Service during your upcoming visit to Walt Disney World. This magical feature on the
My Disney Experience app creates a personalized itinerary based on favorite attractions, characters, and any advanced dining reservations you may have (as well as provide recommendations!) and it will also show wait times for attractions and entertainment! You can also reserve
Lightning Lane times for attractions, which will make for less time in line, and more time spent enjoying all the magic! Thomas, if you have children aged older than three years old, they will need Genie+ added to their accounts if you want to use Lightning Lane entrances. They do not need access to the app, you can purchase
MagicBand+ for them, and their tickets will be attached to their MagicBand, as well as any Lightning Lane entrances you reserve. You can also scan their tickets from your smartphone, but using a MagicBand is much easier (in my opinion!). My 9-year-old was able to hop on every attraction we reserved a Lightning Lane for, and was able to enter the theme parks with it with no issues.
I hope all of this helps you go the distance and purchase Disney Genie+ for your magical visit, Thomas! I almost forgot to mention one more magical feature about Genie+,
Disney PhotoPass Lenses! Have fun taking photos with the whole family during your visit, there are even specially designated Lenses throughout the theme parks! Thanks for stopping by again, Thomas, and have a magical visit to Walt Disney World!
Make a Wish and Do as Dreamers Do,
Frances
