Hi there, Carrie,
Great idea! Disney Genie+ is a wonderful tool to add even more magic to your Disneyland Resort visit.
There are two opportunities to purchase the
Disney Genie+ service. The first opportunity is during your original
theme park ticket purchase. By pre-purchasing Genie+ at the same time as you buy your park tickets, you lock in the lowest possible price. The other opportunity to add Genie+ to your park tickets is after using your tickets to enter a theme park to use the service during your visit that day.
As soon as you use your tickets to scan in at the park entrance, you can purchase Genie+ from the home screen of the
Disneyland mobile app. Or you can skip to the Disney Genie Tip Board as accessed from the app’s ☰ feature menu and select the next available
Lightning Lane of a participating attraction. As you reserve a Lightning Lane return time, you will automatically step through purchasing Genie+ for the selected tickets if they don’t already have it added.
Tony’s Tip: If you already have a credit card or debit card linked to your Disneyland Resort account, you can save a few steps during the process of purchasing the Disney Genie+ service. A payment method securely saved to your account can also be used with the
Merchandise Mobile Checkout service and for placing
mobile food and beverage orders.
Tony’s Tip Times Two: Don’t forget one of my favorite features of Genie+: complimentary digital downloads of all of your
Disney PhotoPass photos taken by PhotoPass Cast Members. That includes
Magic Shots! And even without Genie+ added to your tickets, you may download all of your Disneyland Resort attraction photos for free.
I hope you have a magical time at the Disneyland Resort, Carrie. Please visit us again here at planDisney if we can help with any other planning you may have left.
See ya real soon!
