Welcome to planDisney, Anna!
As a fellow parent in the trenches, I'm well-equipped to answer your question. Like you, we are a family of four and have two young Mousketeers of different heights. My daughter is tall enough to go on a lot more rides than my son. Therefore, on our most recent Disney trip, we had to navigate Disney Genie+ with all this in mind. Thankfully, there are so many attractions at Walt Disney World that are brilliant for the entire family.
You'll be pleased to know that it's really easy to make different Lightning Lane selections for the members of your party. Let me walk you through the process. I'll being with instructions on how to actually purchase
Disney Genie+ on a day-to-day basis.
Simply open up the
My Disney Experience Mobile App, and on the home screen you should find something in purple that says, "Disney Genie+ Service." Tap "Purchase" and then "Continue" and you'll be taken to a list of all the people in your party that you've added via My Friends & Family. You're going to want to select the members of your party that will use this service. Once you do that, you'll then make your purchase.
To make a Lightning Lane selection, look at the Tip Board on the app and select the attraction that you want to book. You'll then be taken to the "Review Details" section. Note the time of the reservation. And here's the key part:
select the people in your party for whom you'd like to make the reservation (e.g. your husband and your oldest child) and click "Continue." Your reservation should now be confirmed. You can then make a separate Lightning Lane selection for another attraction for you and your youngest by going through the same steps.
I hope that's clarifying Anna. Thanks for stopping by planDisney!
