Hi there, Genie! You have such a great name for the question that you asked! We love first-time visitors at planDisney! Helping Guests plan their vacations is what we enjoy doing most! I’m happy to get you started by providing some explanation regarding the difference between Disney Genie and Disney Genie+.
Disney Genie is a complimentary service that is available to Guests of the Walt Disney World Resort! Disney Genie is available to Guests on their My Disney Experience app! By using Disney Genie, you will be provided with customized tips based on the interests that you select in Disney Genie. In addition to customized tips, Disney Genie will also provide a recommended itinerary for you based on your expressed interests! You can begin using the complimentary Disney Genie service from home as you plan your visit!
Now,
Disney Genie+ is available as an “add-on.” Guests can purchase Disney Genie+ in their My Disney Experience app on the morning that they visit a theme park. When you purchase Disney Genie+ you will be able to have shortened waits for attractions and experiences throughout the four Disney Parks using Lightning Lane entrances. Disney Genie+ allows Guests to make their first “Lightning Lane” selection as early as 7:00 AM on the day that they will be visiting the theme parks. Guests are then eligible to make additional “Lightning Lane” selections throughout the day.
Genie, Walt Disney World Resort Cast Members are certainly available to help with your vacation planning needs! You can call (407)-939-5277. A Cast Member will happily help you with booking your vacation! Of course, you can also continue to send questions to me and my fellow panelists at planDisney!
Happy planning!
Jonathan
