Hi there, Donna! We are so happy you made your way to planDisney with your question. With just two sleeps until your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth, let's hop on my magic carpet together and find an answer to your question!
You are going to love staying one jump ahead of the standby queue by using
Disney Genie+ on 19 attractions throughout Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park! When I've visited with friends and fellow panelists, our days seem magically seamless as we bounce from one attraction to the next! I'm happy to tell you that each adult can book
Lightning Lanes individually or you can make Lightning Lane selections for the whole group with one tap if you want to experience certain things together. This guarantees the same return window for everyone. While I know it's fun to move through the parks as a group, I can also understand wanting to break off from time to time and find your own magic!
It sounds like you purchased all five of the
theme park tickets, in which case all of the tickets will initially be linked to your account. To take a peek, head into your
Disneyland Mobile App and tap the three-bar menu in the bottom right-hand corner. Select "Tickets and Passes" and you should be able to see each of the five tickets if you continue to swipe left. If you assigned names to each ticket at the time of purchase, these will be visible above the ticket barcode. If not, don't worry. You will just need to keep track of who you are sending each ticket to so no one tries to enter with the same ticket twice. Everyone in your party should create their own account on the
Disneyland Resort website, download the app, and log in with this same account information. Once that's done, they can link their specific ticket to their own account. You will just need to share the ticket confirmation number or the barcode with them. When they head into "Tickets and Passes", they should tap on the "+" in the top right-hand corner and select "Link Tickets and Passes". Here, they will be able to manually enter the number or scan the barcode. They can continue to link to each other as well using the same method, or you can be the "Genie+" Captain and make Lightning Lane selections for everyone when you want to ride together!
One of the very best perks of Genie+ is that you will all have access to unlimited digital downloads of ALL the
Disney PhotoPass photos taken that day. Yes, ALL of them! This includes shots in front of park icons like Sleeping Beauty Castle, attraction photos, and Magic Shots! This is the perfect way to make those memories last forever. When I'm visiting with a big group, we like to do at least one attraction together where we can capture fun photos - usually
Splash Mountain or
Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: BREAKOUT!
Wishing you smooth sailing with those Lightning Lanes, Donna! You will be visiting during
Halloween Time, so be sure to take in all the festive sweets and treats of the season! If you have any more questions, you know where to find us here at

Magic awaits!
