Howdy, Paula! Thanks for bringing your Disney Genie question to planDisney!
As you know,
Disney Genie is an exciting new digital service in the
Disneyland app that will create customized park-touring itineraries based on your interests. It will also update throughout the day to ensure you make the most out of your visit to the parks. We know that Disney Genie will debut this fall, but a specific date hasn't yet been announced. I'm hoping we will hear soon, so definitely keep your eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for an official announcement as your travel dates approach.
Within Disney Genie, you will have the option to purchase Disney Genie+ for $20 per day, per ticket. With Disney Genie+ you'll be able to select the next available arrival time for an attraction and skip most of the wait by using the Lightning Lane. This service will be available at over 15 attractions in the parks and you can make Disney Genie+ selections one at a time throughout the entire day.
There will be some highly-demanded attractions, like Radiator Springs Racers and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, that won't be included in Disney Genie+. You can access the Lightning Lanes for those specific attractions through an individual attraction purchase option for an additional fee. You can reserve arrival times for two of these attractions per day and the cost will vary.
I hope you get to use all the nifty features of Disney Genie and Disney Genie+ during your upcoming trip! Have a great time!
