Hiya Chelsea - welcome to
planDisney!
Thanks for stopping by - we love to help Guests just like you plan magical
Walt Disney World Resort vacations!
The
Disney Genie+ service can be purchased at any time on the day you would like to use it. That starts at Midnight, so if you're up late enjoying a Theme Park, you can get ready for the next day before you head to bed! You'll be purchasing Genie+ in the
My Disney Experience Mobile App, and while the method does change from time to time, you'll have no trouble finding the link, which is currently a purple bar with a button on the
Home tab.
If all of the Guests you wish to purchase Genie+ for are linked to you as Family & Friends, you are welcome to purchase Genie+ for up to 12 of these Guests in one transaction using one method of payment within your My Disney Experience Mobile App. If anyone in your party would like to use an alternative payment method, they will simply need to log into their account on the My Disney Experience Mobile App and purchase Genie+ for themselves. Or, you can do it for them within your account by simply making a second purchase and using a different method of payment. So, purchases can be made individually, or together with a single method of payment.
It's not important for Guests who want to experience attractions together as a group to purchase Genie+ at the same time or in the same transaction. All that matters is that everyone who wants to make Genie+ Lightning Lane selections so they can experience attractions together is linked via Family & Friends and has purchased Genie+ for that day. So, the decision is in your hands! I do recommend everyone purchase before 7 a.m. so you'll be able to make your first Genie+ Lightning Lane selection at that time with the best availability.
I hope this helps you on your planning journey - please let me know if I can help answer any additional questions for you. When you do visit, be sure to check out my favorite new attraction -
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind - it's a blast!
