Hello and welcome to planDisney, Rachel!
I'm so happy you're hEAR planning your next visit to
the Most Magical Place on Earth. It sounds like your next trip will be even more chEARful since your family will be joining you. Now, the addition of Disney Genie, Disney Genie+ and Lightning Lane certainly has made an impact on the guest experience, so let's chat about how you can take advantage of this offering.
First, it's important to note that the purchase of
Disney Genie+ or individual Lightning Lanes is per person, so each Mouseketeer in your party will need to purchase the upgrade if you'd like to all plan together.
(You all automatically can use the features on the free Disney Genie.) You can purchase through your My Disney Experience Mobile App on the morning of your visit, beginning at 7:00 AM. Make sure to have the other three members of your party connected through the
My Family & Friends section of the My Disney Experience account. If you haven't previously connected anyone to your My Family & Friends list, check out
THIS question and answer.
Rachel, I hope this helps as you're channeling your inner Jack Sparrow and planning ahead for your next adventure! If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to steer your ship back to planDisney where we're always happy to help.
Lauren
