Greetings and welcome to planDisney, Mark!
Thank you for taking the time to send us a question. I am happy to hear that you will soon return to the magic of the Walt Disney World Resort with your lovely family!
Disney Genie is finally here to help Guests plan their best Disney day at
The Most Magical Place on Earth! Although Disney Genie is complimentary, Guests are welcome to purchase Disney Genie+ to book arrival times throughout the day for the new
Lightning Lane entrance available at over 40 experiences across the theme parks.
When you add Disney Genie+ to your tickets, you can select your first experience at 7:00 AM on the date of your visit. You can choose only one experience at a time, so you must experience an attraction before selecting another via the My Disney Experience mobile app. In addition, Guests are also welcome to make individual Lightning Lane purchases for select attractions not included with Disney Genie+. If you are staying at a Disney Resort hotel, remember that you can make individual Lightning Lane purchases at 7:00 AM, while other Guests must wait until theme park opening time.
I hope this information is helpful, Mark! Come back to visit us if you have additional questions, we are delighted to help!
Best magical wishes,
Thiana
