Hello Kelly, and welcome to planDisney!
As the current
UK-based planDisney Panelist, it truly makes my zip-a-dee-doo-dah-Disney-day when I have the magic-filled opportunity of assisting a fellow Guest who, like me, also visits with Mickey and Minnie Mouse from across the other side of the pond!
I absolutely love having my own countdown to Disney to look forward to, and plan towards. Which is one of the many reasons why it makes me so incredibly happy to learn that you have a January 2023 holiday at Walt Disney World Resort in your upcoming future.
Kelly, it sure sounds like you've already been doing lots of your own research and planning for your 2023 Disney holibobs as you've gone ahead and booked a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, bought
Magic Tickets, and even linked all these pixie-dusted elements to your
My Disney Experience account too.
Oh boy, I expect you may have even made those all-important
Disney Park Pass reservations for your intended Disney Theme Park days too!
Now, when thinking about the
Disney Genie Service via the
My Disney Experience Mobile App; Guests aren't actually able to summon Genie by purchasing the
Disney Genie+ service, or
Individual Lightening Lanes, or indeed begin selecting their wishes from Genie, until their actual day of visit to a Disney Theme Park.
Additionally, it might be helpful to understand that several months back the
Walt Disney Travel Company ceased the pre-purchase of the
Disney Genie+ service ahead of Guest arrival at Walt Disney World Resort.
Therefore, just to put your mind at rest Kelly, you may wish to speak in person with a helpful Cast Member who can gain access to your My Disney Experience account and could confirm exactly what you can expect to be included within your Magic Tickets upon arrival at Walt Disney World Resort.
To connect with a Cast Member, please dial the UK freephone number contained within this handy dandy
Walt Disney Travel Company - Contact Us link.Please know you'll always be more than welcome to drop back to
me here at planDisney if you should happen to have any further enquiries concerning your January 2023 holiday to the most magical place on earth.
Have a great Disney day ~ Jane
