Hey there, Katrina, and welcome to planDisney! Thanks for stopping by the panel with your question.
We’re all working hard to figure out the new
Disney Genie+ Service, but after a few trial runs of my own, I’ve found that it is the perfect upgrade for my Disney days!
Disney’s Genie+ Service is available as an add-on for $15 per Theme Park Day for each person in your vacation party, although the price is subject to change. For example, if you are traveling as a party of 4, Genie+ will cost $60 per Theme Park day of your trip. You are also free to only purchase the Genie+ Service on specific Theme Park Days if you determine you don’t need it for your entire visit!
With Disney’s Genie+ you can reserve an attraction return window and access the ride through the Lightning Lane queue, which typically equates to shorter wait times. You can reserve your first Genie+ attraction at 7 a.m. EST on the morning of your Theme Park visit and make an additional Genie+ reservation after you tap into your first reservation or after waiting 120 minutes, whichever happens first. You can add the Genie+ Service to individual Theme Park days by purchasing the service through your
My Disney Experience app after 12:01 a.m. EST on the morning of your Theme Park visit. A new purchase is required for each day you desire to use the service. If you aren’t planning to stay up late to process your purchase, I suggest planning for an early morning - 6 a.m. EST is my sweet spot - to complete your Genie+ purchase. Building in this cushion helps ensure you are ready to reserve your first Genie+ Lightning Lane Entrance promptly at 7:00 a.m. EST.
I hope this helps, Katrina!
