Hi there, Coral, and thanks for bringing your question to
planDisney!
It sounds like you’re well on your way to planning your magical visit to the
Happiest Place on Earth! I’m glad to hEAR that you already have your theme park tickets and park reservations, since that’s the perfect first step. There are two ways to add
Disney Genie+ service to your tickets – one was during your ticket transaction, when you would add it to each day of your visit. Not to worry though, Coral! You can still add Disney Genie+ each day of your visit, as soon as you enter Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park.
Here's how it will work: As soon as your tickets are scanned and you’ve entered one of the theme parks, you’ll be able to use your
Disneyland app to purchase Disney Genie+. From the home screen, tap on the three lines in the lower-right corner. Select “My Genie Day” and look for “Get Disney Genie+ for Today.” Now, tap “Get Disney Genie+ Service,” and you’ll be prompted to select which tickets are eligible to add Genie+ for that day. Simply select the tickets you’d like to add the service to, and off you go… the Genie’s magic awaits!
As soon as this transaction is complete, you can go ahead and book your first
Lightning Lane! Choose from 19 attractions between the two theme parks. Just keep in mind that you won’t be able to “hop” to the other park until after 1:00 PM, if you have a Park Hopper ticket. Also, don’t forget that there are currently three attractions not included in Genie+, including
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure, and Radiator Springs Racers. These attractions can be purchased as
Individual Lightning Lanes (which are separate from Genie+) and you can purchase up to two different attractions each day.
If you’d like to utilize Disney Genie+ for each day of your visit, you’ll need to repeat these steps daily after entering one of the theme parks.
Another great perk that comes along with Disney Genie+ service is unlimited downloads of your Disney PhotoPass downloads from the day! So, be sure to look for PhotoPass opportunities on select attractions, and at dining locations, too.
I hope this information helps as you prepare to experience Disney Genie+ soon, Coral! Please stop by with any additional questions… we’re all EARs!
Hope to see ya’ real soon,
Kristin
