Hi there, Sara!
Great decision! The
Disney Genie+ service is there to make your Disneyland Resort wishes come true. You’ll love the convenient access to
Lightning Lane, complimentary
Disney PhotoPass downloads, Audio Tales, and more.
There are two ways to purchase Genie+. The first way is at the time of your
theme park ticket purchase. This way is the most convenient since it lets you purchase all of your desired Genie+ days at once. The other way is to purchase Genie+ one day at a time within the
Disneyland mobile app.
If you didn’t already purchase Genie+ with your ticket, you will have another chance on the day you visit the theme parks. After you have scanned your ticket at the park entrance, you may purchase Genie+ by tapping “Get Disney Genie+ for Today” in the Disneyland app. If you have a multi-day ticket, you will need to go through this process for each day that you wish to purchase the service. And don’t worry, whether you purchased Genie+ at the same time as your ticket or on each day you visit the parks, the total price is the same.
Tony’s Tip: To help you become familiar with Genie+, I highly recommend spending just five minutes to watch some
short video clips that explain all about how to use both the complimentary
Disney Genie service and the for-purchase Disney Genie+ add-on. You’ll even learn about access to Lightning Lane entrances to some of the most popular attractions that are not included with Genie+. Those individually-purchased Lightning Lane return times can even be obtained if you don’t happen to purchase Genie+.
You ain’t never had a friend like Genie and Genie+, Sara. Have a most magical time at the Disneyland Resort.
