Hi, Monica! Thank you for choosing our planDisney "Magic Carpet" for all your travel needs!
You must be excited about your upcoming trip to the Happiest Place on Earth next week! It sounds like you are being very proactive. Since you've already gotten your park admission, you can purchase
Disney Genie+ service and book Lightning Lane entrances as soon as your ticket is scanned at the gate on the date of your theme park reservation.
Genie+ service can be added to your Disneyland Resort visit through the
Disneyland Mobile app by selecting the center button in your navigation button in the middle of the screen. From here, select "View My Genie Day and Tip Board," move to the "My Day" on the right side of the screen, and scroll down to where it says in purple, "Get Disney Genie+ for Today." If you have the
Park Hopper option added to your ticket, then you may cross over and switch between parks on the same day, beginning at 1:00 PM; if you select "Change Park" at the top of the Tip Board, you can start booking Genie+ selections at your second park. The Disneyland website has a few short
video tutorials which may be helpful before your visit.
Monica, did you know you will get unlimited
Disney PhotoPass Digital Downloads with your Genie+ purchase? This is a great way to share those magical memories with friends and family on social media. Also, make sure to bring an extra phone charger with you- you'll be surprised at how fast you can drain your battery. I recently purchased a solar-powered charger that clips onto my backpack just for my busy theme park days.
Monica, please feel free to stop by again with more trip planning questions. We're all ears!
