Hiya Michiel!
Thank you for sending us your question, and welcome to planDisney, the most magical place on the internet! I love using the
My Disney Experience mobile app while visiting the parks as it allows you to check wait times, make Disney Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane selections, and even
order food and
purchase souvenirs!
I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with your
My Disney Experience account, but thankfully there are a few things you can do to try and fix this issue. First, I would recommend ensuring that
your mobile device has been updated to its latest version. Indeed, iOS devices require the iOS 13.0 version and above, while Android devices require Android 8.0 and above. If you are using an older version of the app or have not updated your device in a while, this can cause bugs and delays. Second, make sure that you use one of the
website's supported browsers. Disney recommends using Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari when on your desktop. Whenever I experience issues with Google Chrome, I usually switch to Safari and vice versa. Similarly, you can also open the website on your mobile phone by using the Safari or Google Chrome apps. Lastly, if you are still experiencing issues changing your information, I would highly recommend
contacting a Cast Member via chat, email or phone. Cast Members truly are real-life fairy godparents and will be able to sprinkle some pixie dust on your account for you.
Now, once your account is all set up and ready to go, make sure to familiarize yourself with the new "My Genie Day" section on the My Disney Experience mobile app! You can find this section by clicking on the three lines at the bottom right of your screen. In the "Tip Board" tab, you will be able to use
Disney Genie and
purchase Disney Genie+ on the day of your visit. In the "My Day" tab, you will then be able to make your Disney Genie+ and
Individual Lightning Lane selections. Trust me, having a Disney Genie by your side opens up a whole new world of possibilities!
I hope this was helpful, Michiel, and that you and your family have the most fun on all the magic carpet rides on your upcoming Disney vacation! If you have any other questions in the time leading up to your visit, don't hesitate to reach out. You ain't never had a friend like us!
Have a great day, and may all your wishes come true,
Ariane
