Hello Margaret and welcome to
planDisney!
Disneyland Resort in the summer is so much fun, you will enjoy fabulous weather, longer theme park hours, beloved and new experiences, and at night, the skies will light up and sparkle away with
Disneyland Forever and
World of Color, I am so happy for you!
Margaret, I apologize for any difficulties with the websites and I appreciate your patience. It sounds as if you have an excellent grasp of how to plan your Disneyland Resort vacation! I think that you may be holding a
Disneyland Resort vacation package including theme park tickets, which, should enable you to easily secure your
Disneyland Resort – Theme Park Reservations (an important step) and any upgrades directly from the
My Hotel Reservation area in your
My Disneyland planning area via your Disney account because the tickets are directly tied to your hotel reservation. You should be able to see the option to make Theme Park Reservations from this area as a Guest holding this type of package. If you do not see any leads to securing a Theme Park Reservation and subsequent theme park ticket upgrade options, then you will need to contact
Disneyland Resort – Hotel Reservations for resolution.
By linking your Disneyland Resort vacation package, you completed an important step because you will facilitate the electronic delivery of your
Disneyland Resort Travel ePackage to your Disney account 4 days before your arrival. The
Disneyland Resort Travel ePackage will contain your travel itinerary, theme park admission, and voucher for Magical Extras.
Margaret, you can add the
Disney Genie+ service just after you enter the theme park by:
1.Open the
Disneyland Mobile App and
Summon the Disney Genie to select all your favorite experiences. This will enable the
Disney Genie to provide you with an attraction flow list of your preferred choices and updates for wait times for Standby and Lightning Lane entrances.
2. Activate the
Disney Genie+ from either the attraction flow list by tapping on Lighting Lane entrance, or, from the
Home Page tap on
View My Day which will lead you to
My Day.
3. Look for the purple band saying,
Take Today to the Next Level – Get Disney Genie+ for Today and follow through to confirm. Just be sure to prep your app before your arrival by updating the
Payment Method in
My Profile on your
Welcome page – to reach this page tap on the 3 stacked lines on your
Home Page.
Margaret, from this point, you will be able to refer to either
My Day or the
Tip Board to see when you can make your next selections, one at a time until the park closes.
Tip:
By updating the
Payment Method in the Disneyland Mobile App, you have enabled vacation essential app transactions, such as
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering for example.
I hope this information is useful, Margaret and I wish you the happiest visit to Disneyland Resort, thank you kindly!
