Hiya, Dennis!
Welcome to planDisney! I am delighted to see that you are planning a trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth in just a few short weeks. This is an amazing summer to visit.
The World's Most Magical Celebration is still going strong and you will find EARidescent magic throughout all four theme parks. Even Mickey Mouse has dressed for the occasion, donning a 50th Anniversary suit that is absolutely magical. I am sure that everyone in your travel party is getting excited! Let's go through reserving a return time for attractions, so you can get back to planning the best trip ever!
It is important to note that the Disney FastPass+ system retired after 2020 and is no longer offered. But Hakuna Matata, friend! You can still reserve return times for your favorite attractions and experiences with
Disney Genie+. This add-on option gives you access to Lightning Lane, which bypasses the traditional standby queue. You can purchase Disney Genie+ through the
My Disney Experience app on the day of your theme park visit (anytime after midnight). Tap the three bars at the bottom of the screen to get started. Then select the
My Genie Day tile. Choose the
Get Disney Genie+ for Today link on the following page to add this service in a few easy steps. I recommend adding the service before 7 AM, so you can book your first
Lightning Lane return time as soon as the booking window opens. Once you have added Disney Genie+ to your account, you will be able to choose return times for select attractions and experiences at 7 AM. Once you have used your first return time (or if there are more than two hours between your first time and the park opening) you can choose your next attraction. If you have the
Park Hopper option on your theme park tickets, you can book selections at your next location for any time after 2 PM.
Before signing off I want to add a quick reminder to make your
Disney Park Pass reservations if you have not already crossed this must-do item off of your travel to-do list. All four theme parks require a reservation in addition to a valid theme park ticket, and some dates
may offer limited availability due to popularity. So don't delay, make your park pass reservations today!
I hope that your upcoming adventure is memorable and magical!
We'll see ya real soon!
