What in the (Disney) world is Genie+, and how do I use it?

What is Disney Genie+? At its core, Disney Genie+ is a revolutionary service now available at Disney World and Disneyland Resort. Seamlessly integrated into the My Disney Experience app for Disney World and the Disneyland App for Disneyland, Disney Genie+ consists of three key components:

  1. Free Disney Genie: A complimentary service aimed at enhancing the park experience. It helps you plan your day by tailoring personalized itineraries based on your preferences, managing dining reservations, predicting wait times, and more.
  2. Disney Genie+: The primary focus of this email. Disney Genie+ allows you to purchase access to “Lightning Lanes,” the modern iteration of the FastPass+ lanes, for select attractions. You can reserve up to two attractions at a time and skip the standard queues during your designated time slot. This feature can be used multiple times throughout the day.

Accessing Disney Genie+: To embark on your Disney Genie+ adventure, you’ll need to download the appropriate app for the Disney park you’re visiting – My Disney Experience for Disney World and the Disneyland App for Disneyland. To begin, log in with your Disney account information. If you don’t already have a Disney account, the account creation process is straightforward (see My Disney Experience Account Creation post about how to create your account). Please ensure you keep a record of your username and password for easy access.

Making Reservations Throughout the Day: The process for securing Genie+ selections varies between Disney World and Disneyland:

  • Disney World: All visitors can make their initial Genie+ selection at 7 AM on the day of their visit. Access available attractions and their corresponding return times via the “Tip Board” on the My Disney Experience app. Additional selections can be made under specific conditions, like after redeeming your first selection or when 120 minutes have passed.
  • Disneyland: At Disneyland, the initial Genie+ selections can only be made once guests are physically present within the park. This means there’s no possibility of making that first Genie+ selection as early as 7 AM in the morning.
