Hi Gus,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for your question!
When it comes to entering the Lightning Lane, you can definitely make an additional purchase to your ticket or Annual Pass for something called
Disney Genie+ Service.
With Disney Genie+, you pay a set fee the morning you’re going to the Theme Parks. At 7:00 a.m., you'll be able to select your
first Lightning Lane and once it’s used or about two hours after, you’re able to book another! There are specific rides that are included with Disney Genie+ and they’re subject to availability.
Now there are also
Individual Lightning Lanes which are for specific attractions like
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and
Avatar Flight of Passage. For these rides, you can pay an additional fee (on top of Disney Genie+) that allows you entrance through the Lightning Lane for these popular attractions. For Individual Lightning Lanes, guests are only permitted two per day.
If you’re staying
on property or at a few other hotels, you’d be able to make the Individual Lightning Lane purchase at 7:00 a.m. as well. If you’re not staying on property, Hakuna Matata, you’d have the option of purchasing once the Theme Parks open (subject to availability)!
Remember, both Disney Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane selections are done through the
My Disney Experience mobile app. If you haven't already downloaded the app, make sure to do so. On the morning you want either Service, you'll want to sign into the app with your My Disney Experience information, select the three lines on the right, and select "My Disney Genie Day". This will take you to the section of the app where (at 7:00 a.m.) you can make your selections!
I hope this “Bit By Bryanna” is helpful as you prepare for your summer vacation. In the meantime, if you have other planning or vacation questions,
please feel free to reach out, I’m always happy to help!
The Magic Is Calling,
Bryanna
