Hiya there Lauren!
Thank you so much for submitting your question today and welcome to planDisney! As a fellow Walt Disney World Annual Passholder I am thrilled to be answering your question today. I have had my Annual Pass since the fall of 2021 and it has brought me so much magic already! Being able to go to the parks whenever you want truly is the best feeling, isn't it?
I see that your trip is coming relatively soon, you must be so excited! As I love the planning process of a Disney vacation, I think Disney Genie is such a great service. For regular tickets, the
Disney Genie+ option can be added to a vacation package or theme park tickets for the duration of one's stay. However, Annual Passes are a bit different. When it comes to
Annual Passes, Disney Genie+ can only be purchased on the day of your visit. You can purchase Disney Genie+ through your
My Disney Experience Account via the Disney Genie service. This can be done at any time during the day, so no need to purchase it before you enter the parks. You would simply go into your
My Disney Experience Mobile App and click on the "plus" icon in the middle, or click on the "menu" tab on the right. You will then be able to click on "View My Genie Day and Tip Board" or "My Genie Day" and purchase Genie+ and individual experiences.
If you haven't already, I would recommend downloading the
My Disney Experience Mobile App if you have an iPhone, iPad or Android smartphone. Having the app makes your My Disney Experience Account easily accessible and would allow you to purchase Genie+ on the day of your visit. Also, make sure that your park reservations are done and you should be all set! In the meantime, you can use the mobile app to keep an eye on wait times in the weeks leading up to your visit and the
free Disney Genie service to get suggested itineraries based on your preferences.
I hope this was helpful, Lauren, and I can't wait for you to try the Disney Genie+ service on your next Disney vacation. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions, we're always happy to help. You've never had a friend like us!
Have a magical day and I hope all your wishes come true on your next Disney vacation,
Ariane
