After launching at Walt Disney World in October, Disney Genie alongside Disney Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane selection will debut at the Disneyland Resort later this week.
What’s Happening:
- The Disneyland Resort has announced that Disney Genie and Disney Genie+ will launch this Wednesday, December 8th.
- In addition to the complimentary Disney Genie service, guests will also be able to book return times for select attractions using the Disney Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane access features, which come at an additional cost.

- Disney Genie+ can be purchased in the Disneyland app after guests have entered the park and have linked a park ticket.
- Starting December 8th, guests will also have the option to pre-purchase Disney Genie+ and begin making their Lightning Lane arrival window selections once they enter the park.

- Of note: despite Lightning Lane options, all attractions will continue to offer standby access either via traditional queue or virtual queue.
