Hey Amelia!
A warm welcome to planDisney. Thank you for sending us your wondEARful question about
Disney Genie service! Congratulations on your upcoming visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth. You will be visiting the theme parks during the
50th anniversary celebration of Walt Disney World Resort. That is so magical, Amelia!
As the mom of two young Mouseketeers myself, I find
Rider Switch service invaluable. Amelia, I am happy to report that at the present time, there are no plans to change or retire Rider Switch service at Walt Disney World Resort once Disney Genie service is implemented.
Disney Genie and Rider Switch are two different services and will remain that way. Disney Genie will be accessible via the
My Disney Experience mobile app and if you decide to purchase Disney Genie+, you will be able to do so via the mobile app as well.
Amelia, I encourage you to
check out the “Fun for Little Ones” planning guide in advance of your magical vacation. Additionally, keep your eyes and EARS peeled on the
Disney Parks Blog for Disney Genie updates.
If you have any other questions, please visit planDisney again. We are always hEAR to help you!
With a Sprinkling of Pixie Dust,
Priscila
