Greetings, and welcome to planDisney, Danielle!
I’m so happy to see that you’ll be visiting
Walt Disney World Resort during the 50th Anniversary Celebration and during our
Spring Festivals and Events, such as the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, congratulations!
Danielle, you’re going to love letting the Genie out of the bottle, with the complimentary
Disney Genie service! Once you have made all your wishes for preferred attractions, dining, and experiences, when you look at the “Tip Board” Disney Genie will offer recommendations by time beginning with the earliest for suggested ride times. You can also join restaurant waitlists, make dining reservations, and place mobile food and beverage orders.
Changing preferences in the Disney Genie can be done anytime by clicking “Edit My Selections” located on the top of the page. You can also see where all your suggestions are by clicking “View My Map.” I recommend checking your “Tip Board” often in order to see updates for attraction standby wait times and Disney Genie+ Lightning Lane Entrance details. The “Tip Board” will also feature where available dining is all at once. If you see anything you like, simply select the “Book Experience” button.
Danielle, you will also see suggestions to opt into making a
Disney Genie+ Lightning Lane Entrance selection (nominal fee per person, per day), and you will also see the option to purchase an Individual Lightning Lane (nominal fee per designated attraction). If you wish, you can click the “Book Experience” button to proceed with your day. I thoroughly enjoyed using the Disney Genie+ Lightning Lane Entrance option and I saved a lot of time waiting in lines.
Pro Tip - Please ensure you have secured your
Disney Park Pass reservations using your valid theme park admission, and ensure your
Family & Friends list is up to date to be able to select from those in your travel party.
Best Disney wishes Danielle, please stop by
planDisney for any other Disney vacation planning questions, and take a look at the
planDisney Video Library for useful tips and advice - thank you!
