Hi Aled R! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with this great question!
Oh boy! It sounds like you are beginning to plan your next holiday at the Walt Disney World Resort! If you planning on visiting before the end of March 2023, you'll still be able to experience the
50th Anniversary Celebration that is well underway. There are sweet treats, savory snacks, and nighttime entertainment to help commemorate this special event!
Adding
Disney Genie+ to your parks days is the perfect way to help maximize your time at the parks. It allows you to bypass the standby queue on select attractions to save time for other adventures that day. To purchase Disney Genie+, you'll need to do so on the day of your park visit and by utilizing the
My Disney Experience Mobile App. The only forms of payment accepted will be a credit/debit card that you can store on your account or by using a Disney Gift Card purchased in the US. Revolut, Venmo, Paypal, or any other form of payment similar to these will not be accepted as a valid payment option. While overseas charges are of concern, I would suggest speaking with the banks that you hold credit cards with to get a clear understanding of these fees.
Make sure to confirm your purchase prior to 7 AM on your park day, since you can make your first Lightning Lane selection starting at 7 AM! Log on to your My Disney Experience App and select the three horizontal bars on the bottom right of your screen. Tap on "Tip Board" and then select the park you are visiting for the day. You'll be able to scroll through the list of attractions and select the Disney Genie+ selection that you want to make first. Then, throughout the day, you'll come right back here to make even more selections.
Aled R, I hope this information helps you plan for your upcoming visit! Have a magical time during your stay!
See ya real soon!
Greg
