Hiya Jillian!
Thanks so much for coming to us at planDisney! I'm happy to hear that you're considering Genie+ because it has saved me tons of time from waiting in the standby queues and it really adds value to your day.
Genie+ can be selected at the time of ticket purchase or as an add-on at the day of your visit after park entry. Therefore, after you've purchased your tickets, you can only purchase Genie+ after you've scanned your ticket and entered the Parks, subject to availability. Once you're inside, open up the
Disneyland Mobile App and look for the Disney Genie+ Service banner and a "Purchase" button. It can also be purchased if you press the three horizontal lines on the bottom right, select "My Genie Day" and then the "Tip Board" tab. For multi-day tickets, you will need to repeat this process each day that you would like Genie+. Keep in mind that
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disneyland Park and
Radiator Springs Racers at Disney California Adventure each require a separate Individual Lightning Lane purchase in order to skip the standby queue.
I think that one of the best perks of Genie+ is that all
PhotoPass downloads are included with your purchase! This is an incredible value and some of my best memories were taken by a Disney PhotoPass photographer! In addition, you also get access to Audio Tales and Disney PhotoPass Lenses. My kids love the PhotoPass Lenses and they've taken some pretty crazy selfies that I just had to save for posterity!
I hope you find this information helpful, Jillian. Feel free to come by anytime here at planDisney, or
write to me directly if you have anything else to ask!
Have a Magical Day!
