Hi there, Amanda!
Thanks so much for stopping by with your question for our team of
planDisney panelists! We love helping Guests just like you plan magical Walt Disney World Resort holidays!
The
Disney Genie+ Service is a great way to enjoy your favorite attractions and experiences with reduced wait times. You'll be able to make Lightning Lane selections for a specific return time window, and then use the Lightning Lane queue to bypass the standby queue. With so much to experience as part of the
Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration, Genie+ can be a useful tool to ensure to get to do it all!
You'll be able to make Genie+ Lightning Lane selections for anyone who is connected to you via your Family & Friends list in
My Disney Experience, but note that they also must have a valid Park Pass Reservation for that day and have purchased Genie+. You'll want to make sure that not only are you sharing plans with them, but also make sure that they are sharing all plans with you as well. This makes planning easier because you can make Genie+ Lightning Lane selections starting bright and early at 7 a.m. each day - if some members of your crew want to sleep in, you'll still be able to include them in your party!
I hope this information is helpful as you continue planning for your upcoming visit!
Please let me know if there are any other questions we can answer.
