Hi Leslie!
It's so good to have you hEAR at planDisney! Welcome, and thank you for sending us this great Disneyland Resort vacation planning question!
Ooooh, I love how far in advance you're planning your summer Disney days! It sounds like you've been doing your homework and are ready to access the PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWERS shrunken down to the itty-bitty living space of your phone and the
Disneyland Mobile App. At the current time, the brand new
Disney Genie+ add-on can only be purchased in two ways: either at the time that you buy your
Disneyland Resort Theme Park Admission Tickets, or as an individual purchase each day
after you've entered the theme park. My friend and
fellow Disneyland Panelist Carrie H. has an amazing answer walking through the steps on how to add Genie+ once you're in the parks.
It sounds like you might already have your theme park tickets, Leslie. But I actually like the way you've lucked into this because now your party can kind of test drive
Genie+ on day one to decide if you even want to buy it for the rest of your vacation days. You can even mix and match, where some members in your crew purchase it and others don't. (Adding Genie+ at the time of your ticket purchase is an all-or-none situation, where it's added to all of the tickets in your purchase for all of the days of your visit.) I do think that there's quite a bit of time-saving and bonus fun with Genie+. Especially since this purchase includes all digital downloads of any
Disney PhotoPass pictures you capture that day, both from a photographer and also on attractions. And I hope that you enjoy this digital friend too!
I hope that this helped to better plan your upcoming Disney days, Leslie! Be sure to check out the
official planDisney Instagram account where we're sharing all kinds of tips and tricks. We even have a brand new planDisney Podcast! Thank you again for stopping by. And if you have any more
