Hi Michael! Welcome to planDisney!
You and your little girl are in for such a magical time when you visit the
Walt Disney World Resort, especially now during its 50th Anniversary! I think it's a lovely idea to stay directly inside the magic for at least a night while you're visiting! With so many
Disney Resorts Collections hotels to choose from you'll be able to find one that fits your budget and her fantasy.
When choosing a Disney Resort, it's all about your preference. If you're looking to stay as close to the magic as possible, you might want to choose a Resort right on the Monorail loop. Some of these Resorts put you within walking distance of
Magic Kingdom and you might even have a view of
Cinderella Castle out your window!
Disney's Contemporary Resort,
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, and
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, are also all Disney Deluxe Resorts, meaning that you and your party would be entitled to even more benefits, such as
Extended Theme Park Hours, reserved only for Guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts. Make sure to check out the schedule of which Parks are open late on which days if you plan to use this benefit on the night of your stay!
Staying in a Disney Resorts Collection hotel comes with
other benefits too! Not only will you receive complimentary transportation around the entire Resort, but you might also see some of your favorite Disney characters out and about! When you stay at a Disney Resort, you are also welcome to enter any Park 30 minutes early with
Early Theme Park Entry, BOTH the day you check-in as well as the day you check-out of the Resort. So, to answer your question specifically, yes, you will still be able to use
Genie+ to book your Lightning Lane and Individual Lightning Lane selections at 7 a.m. the morning you wake up in your Disney Resort Guest room!
I hope your trip turns out to be as magical as it sounds! Enjoy every moment!
