Hi Jane!
Thanks for stopping by to see us here at planDisney!
Disney’s Genie and Genie+ service is the newest way to experience the theme parks at the Walt Disney World Resort. It sounds like you are off to a great start since you have added Genie+ to your tickets! I think I can help you prepare for your first park day with a little walk-through of the
My Disney Experience Mobile App!The individual Lighting Lane purchases are not available in advance, and can only be purchased on the day of your visit. To get an idea of where to find them, make sure you have updated to the most recent version of the My Disney Experience Mobile App. Then select the three little horizontal lines in the lower right corner of the app. (It reminds me of a little hamburger icon!) Once you select those lines, it will open up a new menu, and you’ll want to select the “Tip Board.” The Tip Board will show you today’s current wait times, when the next available Genie+ Lightning Lane is available, and for select attractions, if the Individual Lightning Lane is still available, today’s price, and when the time window begins. For example, I just opened the My Disney Experience Mobile App and I can see that if I had a theme park reservation, the Individual Lightning Lane for Space Mountain is still available today for purchase, and the window begins in just a few minutes!
I hope this helps you learn to navigate the app, Jane. Wishing you a magical visit to the
Walt Disney World Resort!- Kate
