Hiya, Nicholas!
Thank you for sending this Disneyland Resort planning question to us hEAR at planDisney!
Oh Boy! I love a bonus Disney day. There's something about being in the parks when everyone else is at work or having a boring weekend that makes the newly found visit extra fun. Be sure that you're keeping up with the
Disney Parks Blog so that you'll know all of any last-minute happenings or super bonus fun!
There are currently two ways to add the brand new
Disney Genie+ add-on to your visit to Mickey's house: the first is at the time that you purchase your
Disneyland Theme Park Admission Tickets, and the second way is the day of your visit after you've entered either
Disneyland Park or
Disney California Adventure Park. It may seem like a bit of a hassle to add it the second way, but other Guests who already have Genie+ added to their accounts are unable to make
Lightning Lane attraction reservations until they also have scanned into a theme park, so really you're like two minutes and three steps behind them. Once in the park, you open up your
Disneyland Mobile App, press the gray + button at the bottom of the screen, select 'View My Genie Day and Tip Board' at the bottom, and then click 'Purchase for Today' underneath the park icon and you'll be on your way for the most magical Disney day with the ultimate digital sidekick!
Bonus Tip: Did you know that your purchase of
Genie+ includes all of your on-ride and in-person
Disney PhotoPass photos captured for the same day? Be sure to say cheese as you say 'weee!' on all of the attractions because you'll be able to instantly download and share all of your Disney fun across all of your social media channels!
I hope that this helped to clEAR up your question, Nicholas! Be sure to follow the
official planDisney Panel Instagram account for even more tips and tricks. And if you have any more
Disneyland Resort planning questions, We're All Ears!
