Not sure about the app, but on the website, go to My Disney Experience, My Plans, Change Reservation, Change Theme Park Tickets, and scroll down to choose Park Hopper with Genie+ (or whatever modification you would like to make).

Yup ... not 100% sure, but I think via the website as you described might be the only way. I haven't seen where it may be buried in the app if at all?

Interactive In-Room TVs Now Available at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort


The Walt Disney World Resort continually strives to provide a comfortable and convenient in-room experience for Guests. In line with this focus, the resort recently introduced a new, interactive television system with a more personalized and easy-to-use experience that welcomes Guests to the room, offers access to complimentary Disney content, provides connectivity to streaming subscription content, and more.

Additional work to support this new system may be performed in the coming weeks.
This new, interactive television system personalizes the in-room TV experience by welcoming Guests upon arrival. Guests can also enjoy streaming in their room with complimentary Disney content and connectivity for their personal device to stream their subscribed content (Disney+, Hulu, etc.). Standard channels, park hours, resort amenities, and information are also available.

Smart phones, tablets and laptops are supported to stream to the TV. Only content from Chromecast-enabled apps (mirroring is not supported) can be sent to the TV.

As a reminder, Guest credentials and Connect My Device pairings will be cleared upon each check-out. Guests will use their personal devices to log into any subscription services, so information is not stored in the system.

New Look at Avengers Assemble: Flight Force LED Façade in Avengers Campus at Disneyland Paris


MCM Comic Con revealed a new piece of concept art for Avengers Campus at Disneyland Paris in a tweet about a panel of Walt Disney Imagineers.

The panel, Assembling the Universe: The Story of Avengers Campus, will be on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at the main stage.

paris-avengers-campus-concept-art-1200x801.png

The concept art gives us a new look at the façade and marquee of Avengers Assemble: Flight Force, a retheming of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster for the new land. The façade will light up with different designs and we’ve already seen some testing of the LED lights. The marquee was installed a few days ago, but the “Flight Force” lettering had yet to be installed. The concept art also features Sam Wilson’s Captain America interacting with guests and the Quinjet on a platform above the land.

Avengers Campus will open at Walt Disney Studios Park in “early summer,” according to a recent commercial.
