Hi Taryn,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for your question!
At this time, when it comes to reserving
Disney Genie+ Lightning Lanes and
Individual Lightning Lanes, I suggest that one person make the reservation from their
My Disney Experience mobile app for both parties. Let me explain.
When you’re ready to book at 7:00 a.m., you’re able to select your first ride (I normally do Individual Lightning Lane first). Whether you’re purchasing your Individual Lightning Lane or booking your Genie+ Lightning Lane, as you go through the process, you’re able to select the members of your party who will be riding with you!
My Disney Experience is super helpful with this step, because it pre-selects the members of your party who are eligible to book those Lightning Lanes. This means they have a ticket linked to your account and they have a
Disney Park Pass reservation. Once you get to that screen, you’ll see your names checked, then you proceed with the purchase or booking. The app will select the next best time and then after you finalize, you’ll (hopefully) be all ready to go!
If this is your first time using Disney Genie+, I definitely suggest waking up about 15 minutes or so before 7:00 a.m. just so you make sure you’ve purchased the Service and you’re ready to book your first Lightning Lane at the top of the hour.
I hope this “Bit By Bryanna” is helpful as you begin planning your trip to the Walt Disney World Resort. If you have any other planning questions in the meantime,
please feel free to reach out, I’m always happy to help!
The Magic Is Calling,
Bryanna
