Hi, there!
Welcome to planDisney, Sherri. I'm super excited to hear you'll be visiting the Walt Disney World Resort in a few days! You'll be enjoying pixie-dusted adventures in the theme parks before you know it.
I'm glad to hear you have your Theme Park Tickets and Theme Park Reservations all set to go. And it sounds like you've heard about
Disney Genie Service. This new, complimentary feature on the My Disney Experience mobile app is sure to optimize your time and maximize your fun in the theme parks! With the purchase of
Disney Genie+ Service or Individual Lightning Lane selections, you can take your Disney day to the next level by minimizing the time you spend waiting in line for fan-favorite attractions. What could be better than that?
You ask a great question about purchasing Lightning Lane access for your theme park days. You have a few options! If you purchase Disney Genie+ Service, you can select the new available window for Lightning Lane entrances at more than 40 attractions and entertainment options across all four theme parks. You can also purchase up to two Individual Lightning Lane selections per day for highly demanded attractions that aren't included with Disney Genie+ Service, like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. You can even combine Disney Genie+ Service and Individual Lightning Lane Selection purchases!
To add Disney Genie+ Service to your existing Theme Park Tickets, start by opening up your
My Disney Experience mobile app. Tap on the plus sign at the bottom of the home screen and then tap on "View My Genie Day and Tip Board." Tap on the "My Day" tab and then tap on the blue "Change Day" link. Select the future date you'd like to purchase Disney Genie+ for, and then tap on the purple banner that says, "Get Disney Genie+ Service." Then, just follow the prompts to complete the purchase for everyone in your party.
If you're only interested in purchasing Individual Lightning Lane Selections, you'll need to wait until the same day of your visit. Guests of Disney Resort hotels and other select hotels may make their first Individual Lightning Lane Selection purchase beginning at 7:00 AM on the day of their visit. All other Guests may make their first purchase when the park opens. To purchase Individual Lightning Lane Selections on the day of your visit, head to the Disney Genie Service Tip Board or My Day Itinerary in the My Disney Experience mobile app. You'll see the option to purchase there!
Did you know that your purchase of Disney Genie+ Service includes special
Disney PhotoPass Lenses AND exclusive audio guides? Be sure to check out these extra benefits.
I hope this was helpful, Sherri. I'm wishing you a magical visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
