Hi Becky!
My, oh my, Mickey! Here at
planDisney we love how you are planning ahead for your
Walt Disney World vacation! A countdown until you see the castle gives you the chance to enjoy anticipation as sweet as a Dole Whip with sprinkles.
The new
Genie+ ticket add-on is good for the whole day, no matter how many parks you hop to. I have discovered the system typically will not allow you a
Lightning Lane pass for your second park until 2:00 pm when park hopping begins. Of course, the time you are allowed to visit a second park could change by your visit. If you purchase Genie+ in advance, the benefit will be added to each day of your tickets. You may also purchase Genie+ the day of if you only want it for select days.
Becky, I did find Genie+ greatly reduced the time we spent in line on our last visit. Grab your first access time as soon as possible (7:00 am for Guests staying at a
Walt Disney World Resort or park opening for other Mouseketeers) and you will have more time to zip and dip on roller coasters and fly with Peter Pan!
Enjoy a wonderful visit to see Mickey!
