Hello, Spencer and thanks for dropping by with your question. It's my pleasure to welcome you to planDisney!
Spencer, how exciting that your son and his fiancé will be enjoying the Magic of Walt Disney World this summer. There is no better place to celebrate a real-life
Happily Ever After! Make sure to encourage your son to stop by any
Guest Relations location or at the front desk of their Disney Resort Hotel (if they're staying onsite) for a complimentary celebration button.
Now, let's talk about purchasing Disney Genie+ and MagicBands. First, it's important to know that Disney Genie+ is only able to be purchased one day at a time, beginning at midnight on the day of your scheduled park visit. Now, in order for you to purchase this service for your son and his fiancé, you'll first need to be connected to their My Disney Experience Accounts through the
Family & Friends section. If your accounts aren't currently connected, check out
THIS question and answer that walks you through the process. Beginning at midnight on the day of their visit, you can log into your My Disney Experience account or use the My Disney Experience Mobile App and purchase this service. Then, beginning at 7:00 AM, your son can begin making Lightning Lane selections for the day.
Spencer, since you won't be accompanying your son on this trip, the easiest way to gift MagicBands in advance would likely be to purchase them through
shopDisney. Your son can then simply link the MagicBand to his account by inputting the number on the inside of the band.
Spencer, I hope this helps you spread a little bit of pixie dust over your son's upcoming trip. And... in case it would be easier for your son to purchase his own Disney Genie+ or pick out a MagicBand, I have a third option for you! Disney Genie+ and MagicBands can be purchased with
Disney Gift Cards! Deliverable via email or standard mail, you can opt to buy your son and his fiancé a Disney Gift Card and then sit back, relax, and know that you are officially a Fairy Godmother in training!
However you choose to add a bit more Magic to your son's trip, I hope it's every bit the fairytale. If you have any additional questions, please come on back to planDisney where the only thing we love more than planning our own vacations is helping others.
