Hi there Ann, and welcome to
planDisney!
It's almost time to roll out the red carpet and begin your star-studded stay at
Disney's All-Star Movies Resort. You'll love the recently renovated rooms; they've been upgraded with new floors, bedding, and fixtures.
Now that the
Genie is out of the bottle, he's full of tips and tricks to assist you throughout the day. Should you choose to purchase Genie+ in advance, for the length of your stay, you'll need to modify your tickets or vacation package. If this can be done online, you'll see a blue "Change" button next to your tickets or vacation package in the "My Plans" section of
My Disney Experience. You can also call 407-939-5277, and a Cast Member will help take care of this.
If you are interested in purchasing Genie+, my recommendation is to do so on a day-by-day basis each day you want to pay for the upgrade; you might not want the add-on for every day of your vacation. Buying it one day at a time once you are in Walt Disney World is simple and could save you some money by not purchasing it for the length of stay.
On a day you would like to purchase Genie+, open the
My Disney Experience Mobile App and click on the three small horizontal lines in the bottom right corner of the main page to bring up the welcome screen. Next, select the magic lamp icon that says "My Day." Find a purple bar that says "Get Genie+ Service," then follow the prompts to select your party members and finalize payment. You can do this as early as midnight of the day you'd like to purchase Genie+, but since you can't make your first Lightning Lane selection until 7 AM, I suggest taking care of this over breakfast before heading out for the day.
I hope this is helpful, Ann. I know using the Genie feature feels like a whole new world, but with a little practice, you'll have it mastered! Best wishes for a magical trip, and we can't wait to see ya real soon.
Lights, camera, VACATION!
