Hey Julainne! We appreciate you stopping by planDisney to bring your questions to us.
All attractions in the parks are accessible with a valid theme park reservation and ticket. I think you may be confusing this with
Disney Genie+ service and that includes Lightning Lane selections to participating attractions at each park. There are three popular attractions that have Lightning Lanes that are not included in the Disney Genie+ service. These attractions are Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance in Disneyland Park and Radiator Spring Racers and WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure in Disney California Adventure Park. These three have Individual Lightning Lanes that can be purchased separately.
I'm happy to hear you are planning on purchasing Disney Genie+ service. I've purchased this many times in my recent visits and have been able to fit so much into a day using this. I also love that it includes
unlimited digital PhotoPass downloads for that day. Each ticketed member of your party will need to purchase Disney Genie+ to access any Lightning Lanes. If the children are not going to. ride any of the rides you wish to use Disney Genie+ Lightning Lane selections then they would not need to purchase the service, but you would need to have someone stay back with them while the rest of your party rides this attraction.
Rider Switch service may be a good option for this, but it is not available for every attraction. I recommend checking out the
Lightning Lane page to see which attractions are a part of Disney Genie+ so your party can make the best decision. There are quite a few rides that are included that have no height requirement or a smaller height requirement that many children can enjoy.
Julainee, it sounds like you have a great start on planning your upcoming trip. If you have any other questions as you get closer to your visit, be sure to stop by again! We are here to help!
