Hey there, Courtney! Welcome to planDisney. Thanks so much for stopping by with your question!
Great decision to let Genie out of his lamp to grant you wishes throughout your visit! Once you arrive at the parks and have entered through the turnstile, you’ll be able to make your first Lightning Lane selection. In the app, go to Tip Board and look for the first attraction you’d like to book. The attractions with Lightning Lanes will have a “LL Disney Genie+” box beneath the Standby Line box. Once you click on the LL box, you should be able to reserve it, as you have already purchased Disney Genie+.
Here are a few more tips about
Disney Genie+, in case it’s helpful:
~ There are
Lightning Lanes for 19 attractions across the two theme parks. You can pick one Lightning Lane per attraction per day.
~ There are three attractions not included in Genie+ - these have
Individual Lightning Lanes you can purchase ‘a la carte’ per ride, with or without Genie+. These Individual Lightning Lanes can be purchased for up to two different attractions each day, so you can’t do all three Individual Lightning Lane attractions in a single day.
~ You can make your next selection immediately after your current selection has been redeemed. And, if it’s been more than 120 minutes from the time you made the selection, even if your current selection’s arrival window hasn’t started, you can make a new selection. Example: at 9:00 a.m. you made a Lightning Lane selection for Incredicoaster, for which the arrival window starts at 1:00 p.m.. At 11:00 a.m., you can make another Lightning Lane selection, even though you haven’t redeemed your Incredicoaster Lightning Lane yet.
~ Only at Disneyland Resort, Genie+ gives you complimentary access to
Disney PhotoPass for the day, which is an amazing perk! When you link attraction photos as well as those taken by Disney PhotoPass Photographers, you’ll have access to unlimited digital downloads for the day. Extra tip, ask the photographer about taking a Magic Shot which includes special effects or character surprises!
I hope this helps, Courtney! Your magic carpet ride awaits.
