New Genie+ change is going into effect soon

A Genie+ change is going into effect soon. Stay up to date on all the changes here!

Genie+

Here is the shortened version: for $15 per person per day at Disney World and $20 per person per day at Disneyland (sometimes a discount is available), choose the next available time to arrive at a variety of attractions and experiences using the Lightning Lane entrance.

You can make one selection at a time all throughout the day. 40+ attractions are included at Walt Disney World and 15+ attractions will be available at Disneyland. Here is the full list. Additionally, select character sightings are part of the Genie+ service. See which ones are currently offered HERE.

Genie+ does not have to be purchased for the entire length of your stay. This can be purchased ahead of time or the day of so you can pick and choose when you want to use it. This will be helpful on your rest days or when your are touring less busy parks. It’s not really necessary at Animal Kingdom and Epcot but is actually very useful at Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios.

If you purchase it in advance as an add-on ticket option, it will be added for each day you have tickets. Otherwise, you will purchase Genie+ each day you want to use it. Here is a handy guide to walk you through the steps of purchasing Genie+.

Change to purchasing options

As stated above, you can purchase Genie+ for every day of your trip or you can pick and choose which days you use it. The following change goes into effect for ONE-DAY tickets ONLY:

Single-day purchases of Disney Genie+ are now only available directly through the My Disney Experience app on the Guest’s date of visit. Third party 1-day tickets with Genie+ will continue to be sold through March 1. 

For Guests with multi-day tickets or vacation packages, you may continue to purchase Disney Genie+ prior to your visit.

Simply put, this means if you want to buy a one-day ticket you cannot purchase Genie+ in advance. You must wait until the day of your visit.

Will this change affect your travel plans at all? For those of you who have used Genie+, do you prefer to purchase in advance or day of? Join the conversation in the comments below and on Facebook.
