Hiya, Jeanine!
Welcome to planDisney! I am so very glad that you stopped by with your planning question for your upcoming adventure. This is an amazing year to visit The Most Magical Place on Earth.
The World's Most Magical Celebration is still going strong throughout all four theme parks. There are dazzling Beacons of Magic, fabulous 50th Anniversary treats, and so many new experiences to enjoy. My personal new favorite addition to the magic is
Harmonious. This nighttime spectacular is sure to impress with beautiful water displays, exceptional music, and of course, fireworks. Be sure to add this to your itinerary if you will be spending an evening at EPCOT during your stay. Your summertime adventure is just around the corner, and I am sure that everyone in your travel party is getting excited. So, let's talk about VIP options and Disney Genie+, two great ways to spend less time in line and more time on your favorite attractions.
If you are looking to reduce wait times during your stay, Disney Genie+ is a great option. This ticket add-on can be purchased on the day of your theme park visit(s) anytime after midnight. After you have added
Disney Genie+ to your ticket, you can begin booking Lightning Lane options anytime after 7 AM.
Lightning Lane access allows you to bypass the standard attraction queues by providing you with a return time, which will help you spend less time in line. Once you have used your first Lightning Lane you can book another experience. You can add Disney Genie+ to your day in the
My Disney Experience mobile app by tapping the three bars at the bottom of the screen and choosing the
My Disney Genie Day tile. Then select the
Get Genie+ For Today link. This service cannot be purchased in advance. I recommend
checking out all of the details on the Walt Disney World website before your arrival. This way you are ready to use the service as soon as your adventure begins!
Should you wish to have the ultimate VIP experience, you can book a
Disney Private VIP tour ahead of your arrival. A Disney VIP Tour includes your personal VIP Tour Guide and is completely customizable for your crew. Just let your guide know which attractions you would like to experience and what other must-do shows and experiences are on your list. They will help you create the best day ever, with minimal waits!
I hope that your upcoming adventure is memorable and magical!
We'll see ya real soon!
