Hi Anjanette! Welcome to planDisney!
I'm excited to hear about your upcoming visit to the
Disneyland Resort! Even better yet, a stay at The Disneyland Hotel is a dream vacation. There is nothing better than being immersed in the magic from the moment you arrive onsite!
You have some wonderful friends, Anjanette! Being gifted park tickets is the best present I can think of! Adding
Disney Genie+ to use during your trip will be an added bonus. First, you'll want to make sure that your tickets are linked to your My Disneyland account. To do so, you'll need the confirmation number that your friends received upon purchasing the tickets. When you arrive in the United States for your stay, download the Disneyland Resort Mobile App to your mobile device. Log into your account in order to access all the features that come along with it. There is a purple bar on the main page that reads "Disney Genie+ Service." Once you enter the park each day, tap on "Purchase" and follow the steps to complete the process. It only takes a matter of moments and you'll be ready to go.
Having Disney Genie+ is the best way to maximize your day! You'll be able to bypass the standby queue at many attractions which will free you up to do more on your day. You can use this extra time to try some tasty treats or check out entertainment around the park. Tiana's Palace just recently opened in
New Orleans Square and offers her delicious House-filled Beignets. I highly suggest making a stop here during your trip!
Anjanette, I hope you have a magical time during your stay!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
See ya real soon!
Greg
