Hi there, Nate! Welcome to planDisney!
All the news that was recently released about the
new Disney Genie service has been so exciting! I can't wait to use the personalized itineraries and to once again be able to maximize my time by skipping most of the wait on some of my favorite attractions by using Disney Genie+.
As you know, the complimentary Disney Genie feature will launch this fall (official date to be released soon) and will include the option to add on Disney Genie+ for $20 per ticket, per day at the Disneyland Resort. If you purchase your tickets ahead of the release date, you will most certainly have the option to add Disney Genie+ to your tickets at a later date. More details will be released soon, but when adding Disney Genie+ to your previously purchased tickets, you will most likely purchase it for one day at a time, each day of your trip. If you wait to purchase your tickets for your December trip until after Disney Genie+ is available, you will be able to purchase Disney Genie+ for the length of your tickets.
With Disney Genie+, you will choose the next available arrival time for an attraction and use the Lightning Lane to skip most of the traditional queue. You can make arrival time selections one at a time throughout your day. And if you have Park Hopper tickets, you can make selections for both parks. The Lightning Lane will be available for over 15 attractions so there will be many opportunities to use the Disney Genie+ feature throughout your trip.
Keep your eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for all the breaking news about the Disney Genie service. I hope you have a wonderful time at the Happiest Place on Earth!
