Hi there, Ellen! Thank you for reaching out to planDisney! We are always happy to help!
This is a great question.
Disney Genie+ is a convenient and easy-to-use service that can really help you maximize the number of attractions you experience in a day and reduce the amount of time you wait in a physical queue line. You can use Disney Genie+ to book
Lightning Lane reservations at over 40 attractions across the
4 theme parks. Plus, you can book up to two
Individual Purchases of Lightning Lane Entry to the most popular rides at the resort each day. My family and I have really enjoyed these options the last few times we've visited the parks.
You can begin purchasing Disney Genie+ at 12 AM EST on each day you are planning on using the service. Don't worry, you likely won't need to purchase it exactly at this time, but you
should do so before 7 AM EST as this is when you can book your first standard Disney Genie+ reservations (and your Individual Lightning Lanes if you are staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel). Please note that Disney Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane selections are subject to availability.
You will need to pay for the Disney Genie+ service and/or Individual Lightning Lanes at the time of purchase. You can easily do this on the
My Disney Experience mobile app. On the checkout screen, you will be able to input a Disney gift card as payment!
Be sure to take advantage of the
Disney PhotoPass Lenses that are included with each purchase of Disney Genie+. With this feature, you get to use your phone's camera to snap pictures with themed effects! It's such a cool feature!
Ellen, I hope you have a wonderful vacation. It's going to be here before you know it! If you have any questions in the future,
please reach out to planDisney again.
You've never had a friend quite like the Genie,
Matt
