    Hello and Thank You - I am planning a trip for my family of four and am wondering if the genie pass during the first week of august 2024 will be necessary? We used to visit during February or mid March and found access easy with few to no lines.

    Welcome back to planDisney, Kristina!

    Visiting the Disneyland Resort during a new time of year can always be nerve-wracking. When I visit, I want to maximize my time and do whatever I can to ensure a magical experience for my family. 

    During the first week of August, the D23 Ultimate Disney Fan Event will be happening in Anaheim, CA, from August 8 - 11, just across the street at the Anaheim Convention Center. Additionally, August 8 is D23 Disneyland Day. You may notice more crowds during that week, so, yes, I do recommend Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass for your visit. Make sure you have the Disneyland app downloaded and everyone’s tickets linked to create your party. This will ensure you can make your attraction reservations once you enter the theme park. As a reminder, everything is based on availability. 

    You’re also in the window to make dining reservations, and I recommend checking out the special dining packages available for nighttime spectaculars, like Fantasmic! There are three restaurants to choose from with special reserved seating. I watched the show last week; it was pretty fantastic! 

    I hope that you and your family have an amazing time visiting the Happiest Place on Earth, Kristina! Feel free to send another message if you have any other questions!

    Magic awaits!
