Hey Howdy Hey Denise and welcome to planDisney!
Thank you so much for stopping by with your question about
Genie+. You've got a friend in me who can give you the details of purchasing and usage.
You and your party can purchase Genie+ starting at midnight on the day you plan to visit the parks. You will purchase your My Disney Experience app and as you move through the steps, you can specify which members of the party you want to purchase Genie+ for. Feel free to select as many or just yourself on that one.
After you purchase Genie+ one person can make the
Lightning Lane selections for the whole group if desired despite how Genie+ was paid for. So feel free to have everyone pay individually for Genie+ and then you can have one person make all of the Lightning Lane selections. One minor note is that your whole group should be sharing plans for one person to make Lightning Lane selections. That person making the selections will have the option to choose anyone with Genie+ from the list of Family and Friends. You also have the option to book Lightning Lanes for just a few members of the group while others book a different experience.
This is just a friendly reminder that your window to book Lightning Lanes starts at 7:00 AM. After you make your first selection, your next opportunity will be either 2 hours after the parks officially open to the public or after you redeem your first selection. The same rules apply throughout your day when booking your Lightning Lanes.
I hope this information is helpful so you can better plan your day in the parks. If you have any further questions, please feel free to stop by and let us know, we are always happy to help!
To Infinity and Beyond,
Nick
