Hiya Kim!
It's always great to see you planning Disney at planDisney. Some of my fondest high school memories took place on high school band trips. I know your son is going to have the best time making music and memories with his band buddies at Walt Disney World later this month.
Disney Genie+ service gives Guests the ability to access the Lightning Lane entrance of over 40 attractions throughout the four theme parks. My family used Genie+ at Magic Kingdom Park yesterday and were able to experience many more attractions than we would have without it.
You will have no problem purchasing Disney Genie+ service for your son on his park days as long as his name appears on your
Family and Friends list in My Disney Experience. Here's how that works. You can purchase Disney Genie+ for your son anytime after midnight on each park day. I recommend purchasing by 6:45 a.m. so your son can book his first Genie+ Lightning Lane attraction at 7:00 a.m. You purchase Disney Genie+ service on the Tip Board of your
My Disney Experience mobile app (three small lines at the bottom right of the home screen --> Tip Board). Next click "Purchase for Today" in the Disney Genie+ banner. Check your son's name and "Confirm Party," then follow the prompts to complete the purchase. Once purchased, your son can book his own Genie+ Lightning Lane attractions throughout the day in the Tip Board of his My Disney Experience app.
As the excitement before your son's trip crescendoes, please don't hesitate to
reach out with any other trip-planning questions. Helping magical mamas is my specialty!
Choose magic,
Jennifer
