Hi there Sascha, thank you for stopping by planDisney with your great question!
I'm so glad that you're interested in purchasing
Disney Genie+ Service, it truly can save valuable time during your time visiting the theme parks, we definitely take advantage of it each visit.
You will not be able to purchase Disney Genie+ Service until after you've scanned your
theme park tickets into the park for the day. Once you scan your ticket and head through the gates, you can open up the
Disneyland app and purchase Disney Genie+ Service for your party. Don't forget that you'll need a
theme park reservation to accompany your valid theme park ticket for each day as well!
Once you purchase Disney Genie+ Service for the day, you can begin to make your
Lightning Lane selections! You can navigate to the "Tip Board" in the Disneyland app, and choose your first selection. I highly recommend securing a Lightning Lane selection for
Indiana Jones Adventure in Disneyland Park and
Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: BREAKOUT! in Disney California Adventure Park since those selections are very popular.
Another tip is that I like to set an alarm on my mobile phone for when I can make my next Lightning Lane selection. The Disneyland app will let you know what time you can make your next selection, and I find if I keep making the Lightning Lane selections as soon as I'm able to, I truly maximize the value and save time waiting in line throughout the day!
I hope this information is helpful for your upcoming trip Sascha! Please do not hesitate to come back to planDisney if we can help with any other questions.
Have a magical day!
Melissa
