Hiya, Kyle! Thanks for bringing your question to
planDisney!
Your big day is almost here... time to get excited! The weather is great and it's starting to feel like summer at the
Happiest Place on Earth!
Not to worry, Kyle, you can still add
Disney Genie+ Service to your
tickets upon arrival at the Disneyland Resort. Disney Genie+ can be added to your tickets in two different ways -- either as part of your original ticket purchase on
Disneyland.com, or on a daily basis on the
Disneyland app, as soon as you enter one of the theme parks. Since you already purchased your theme park tickets, you'll need to wait until you’ve entered Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park to add Genie+ to your tickets. You’ll need to add it each day of your vacation upon entering one of the theme parks.
So, here’s what you’ll want to prep ahead of time. First, I recommend
downloading the Disneyland app on your mobile device. As soon as your tickets are scanned in to either theme park, simply open your app and tap on the three lines in the lower right corner. Select “My Genie Day” and look for “Get Disney Genie+ for Today.” Now, tap “Get Disney Genie+ Service,” and you’ll be prompted to select which tickets are eligible to add Genie+ for that day. Simply select the tickets you’d like to add the service to, and off you go!
Once the transaction is complete, you can go ahead and book your first
Lightning Lane. You’ll be able to choose from about 18 attractions between the two theme parks, if you have Park Hopper tickets. Just keep in mind that you won’t be able to “hop” to the other park until after 1:00 PM.
There are currently three attractions not included in Genie+, including
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure, and Radiator Springs Racers. These attractions can be purchased as
Individual Lightning Lanes, and you can purchase up to two of them per day.
Kyle, did you know that Disney Genie+ also includes unlimited downloads of your Disney PhotoPass photos? This is one of my favorite perks of the service. Keep an eye out for PhotoPass opportunities on select attractions and at dining locations, too.
Lastly, here’s the
Entertainment Schedule for your arrival day, so you can start thinking about where you’d like to start.
I hope you have a blast experiencing the cosmic power of Disney Genie+! It’s the best way to make the most of your Disney day!
See ya’ real soon,
Kristin
