Welcome to planDisney, Donna. Thanks for reaching out to us again!
As of July 24, 2024, the Disney Genie+ Service has been replaced by
Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass. While Guests staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel are eligible to purchase and pre-book Lightning Lanes with these services 7 days ahead of their trip, at this time, they must be within the United States or Canada with the My Disney Experience mobile app to do so. Therefore, once you've arrived in the United States, you'll be able to start booking.
With these services, you can see what you can book before you make your purchases. This is a huge benefit because you'll be able to see what's available and decide if you will purchase it based on the reservations you're able to score! And always remember that most experiences have a standby queue available to you as well, except attractions that have a Virtual Queue. Currently, you can request a Boarding Group in the Virtual Queue at 7 a.m. On our recent trip in July, we were able to get a spot in the Virtual Queue for
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in
EPCOT and
Tiana's Bayou Adventure in
Magic Kingdom Park. Just be sure to follow along with the
Disney Parks Blog leading up to your trip to see if there are any Virtual Queue changes or updates!
Donna, have the best trip ever! If you have any other questions,
I'm here for you!
Most everyone's mad here,
Matt
