Hiya Ben!
Thank you so much for sending us your question and welcome to planDisney, the most magical place on the internet! I am so excited for you to come and experience the magic, and I am honoured that you came to us during your planning process. You picked an especially magical time to come to visit with the
Walt Disney World Resort's 50th anniversary in full swing, and you will be there just in time for my favourite festival: the
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival. There is nothing quite like EPCOT in full bloom!
Now let's talk about how you can add some punch and pizazz to your magical vacation!
Disney Genie truly opens up a whole new world of possibilities, and I am thrilled that you will be using your wishes on your next visit. As of now,
Disney Genie+ can be purchased in two ways: upon checkout when purchasing your tickets, or on the day of your visit. When you come down to Florida on your magic carpet ride, make sure to have the
My Disney Experience mobile app downloaded on your iPhone, iPad or Android smartphone. Then, on the day of your visit, open the app and click on "My Genie Day" in the three-line menu. The "My Day" section should automatically open, and you will be able to click on "Get Disney Genie+ for Today" in the purple bar. On this same page, click on "Get Started Now" and let Disney Genie create a perfect itinerary for you based on your preferences! If you want to purchase
individual Lightning Lanes, click on "Tip Board" and select the individual Lightning Lane you would like to purchase.
Now that you know you do not need a magic lamp to get your three wishes, let's talk about the unique offerings that will be waiting for you at the
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival. In addition to colourful flower displays, keep an eye out for topiaries of your favourite characters, limited-time treats and souvenirs, and even a butterfly garden! Make sure to also check the lineup for the
Garden Rocks Concert Series as you might just get to see some of your favourite artists perform. Lastly, if. you are feeling adventurous, be sure to try the Frushi at the Japan pavilion. It makes for a great, refreshing and sweet treat, and is one of my personal favourites!
I hope this was helpful, Ben, and that you and your loved ones have the best day ever on your next Disney vacation! If you have any other questions in the time leading up to your magical visit, don't hesitate to reach out. You ain't never had a friend like us!
Have a magical dai-sy,
Ariane
