Hiya, Rosa!
I'm so glad you've found your way to planDisney! Thanks for dropping by with a question about your upcoming visit. I'm always just a little bit jealous when I get to chat with Florida residents –– how cool is it that you can jump in the car and be at
Walt Disney World Resort within a few hours or less?!
It sounds like you've already started planning your next adventure at The Most Magical Place on Earth, so let me share a few details about the Disney Genie+ service to help you prepare for your visit. With
Disney Genie+ Lightning Lane and Individual Lightning Lane access, you'll have the opportunity to schedule a return time for your favorite attractions each day, shortening your wait times and helping you maximize your fun when you visit one of the four Walt Disney World theme parks. Since these two Lightning Lane options work a little differently let's take a look at what you'll need to know to make the most of your visit.
When you buy the Disney Genie+ service, you'll be able to make Genie+ Lightning Lane selections all throughout the day. You can purchase this service beginning at 12 AM EST on the day of your visit, right from the
My Disney Experience mobile app. Then, you can make your first Lightning Lane selection beginning at 7 AM EST. After that, you'll be able to make your next selection after you've tapped into your first Lightning Lane or two hours after the park opens (whichever comes first) and then every two hours after that. And each time you make a selection, I recommend setting a two-hour time in your phone –– that way, you'll have a handy reminder ready to go when it's time to make your next selection, without having to constantly keep track of the time throughout the day.
In addition to the Genie+ Lighting Lanes, you'll also have the option to purchase access for up to two Individual Lightning Lanes per day. While Individual Lightning Lanes are typically the most popular attraction(s) in each park and are priced separately from the
Disney Genie+ service, you also don't need to purchase Disney Genie+ in order to book them –– so if you prefer to book
just the Individual Lightning Lanes throughout your visit, you're welcome to do so. If you're staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you'll be able to purchase and make your Individual Lighting Lane selections beginning at 7 AM each day. Otherwise, you can make your selections once the park you'll be visiting opens for the day using the My Disney Experience app.
I hope this helped to answer your question, Rosa, and I really appreciate you visiting planDisney. If you need more information or think of new planning questions as your visit gets closer, please don't hesitate to drop by again –– we're always happy to help!
Happy Planning,
Amy
