Hello, Sandra! As Genie said to Aladdin, "Thank you for choosing "Magic Carpet" for all your travel needs." We'll be your planDisney Magic Carpet today!
The good news is that your entire party does not need to buy
Disney Genie+ service; it is purchased per person. You'll be able to buy it for yourself and your granddaughter through the
Disneyland Mobile app, but you'll need to wait until you have scanned into the park to get Genie+ and make your first Lightning Lane selection. Make sure you have the most recent version of the Disneyland app already downloaded. I also recommend adding a credit card to your profile to make your Disney Genie+ and
Mobile Ordering purchases easy peasy!
Here's another planDisney tip: you can add Genie+ service to either a Park Hopper or a 1-Park per day ticket. If you purchased Park Hopper tickets, you can also make Lightning Lane reservations for your second park. Since Park Hopping is allowed after 1:00 PM, your Lightning Lane return time window needs to be later than that if you want to make it in the park other than the one you started in. The Disneyland website has some short
video tutorials that are very helpful, especially for first-time users!
I hope you and your husband have a great time with your granddaughter in a few days, Sandra! Please send us any other questions you have in the meantime. Remember. "You ain't never had a friend like me!"
