Hello and welcome to planDisney, John!
Thank you for stopping by and sharing your question with us. April is just around the corner, and when you least expect, it will be time to enjoy all the magic that awaits you at the Walt Disney World Resort, including the opening of
TRON Lightcyle / Run.
I am happy to share that you do not have to purchase
Disney Genie+ service for every Guest in your group, even if you are staying in the same room at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel. The last time I traveled with my family, my mother decided to stay at our Disney Resort hotel with my youngest daughter one day, so I only purchased Disney Genie+ for my oldest princess and me.
Please note that Disney Genie+ is available for purchase via the
My Disney Experience mobile app starting at midnight Eastern Standard Time on the day of your visit. While making your purchase, select the members of your travel party who wish to use Disney Genie+ and skip those who will not use this service. Since you can only buy Disney Genie+ one day at a time, if other people decide to use it on another day, you can simply add them when you make your next purchase. Remember that to plan for your friends and family, you must first connect your Disney accounts by visiting
My Family & Friends.
I hope this helps you while planning, John. Stop by once again real soon if you have additional questions, and have a magical visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
Best Disney wishes,
Thiana
