What time can you purchase genie+ now?

[NicholeB630]

So now that Disney once again wants to make things more difficult for ppl by not allowing us to purchase genie+ before our trip, does anyone know what time we can? Do we have to wait till 7am as well as booking making it even more of a race to get something we want?! So frustrating. Thanks!!!

If you're an AP holder or purchasing for select days of your trip, you can purchase after midnight on the day you want to use it.

ETA: also, single day only tickets must wait until day of to purchase Genie+

If buying multiple day tickets and you want Genie+ for your entire trip, you should still be able to prepurchase by editing your tickets.

Where it gets difficult is if on your MDE you have mix of AP and regular tickets for others. Then AP has to wait until 7am to purchase.

I watched a Youtube in which someone recommended having your travel agent buy it. Is that a thing?

Here's more info regarding that on the Genie+ thread:

Not sure you have to wait until 7, I think the phone line opens at 6am.

If you purchased through a travel agent, they should be able to help you with pre-orders. I wouldn't recommend asking them to do it each day of your trip though. Too much could go wrong

Thanks. I’ll probably just add it for each day of my trip myself.

Hmmm Im going to try this. I have already purchased our trip, multiple days with hoppers and we want them for everyday.

We called Disney in October to add for every day of our November trip.

That's only if some in your party are APs and others have prepurchased. It's a glitch in the system

In the app, if you click the menu button with 3 lines in the lower right corner, find tickets and passes. In there, you should have the option to upgrade or change your tickets. Choose the park hopper with Genie+ option to ensure you keep your park hoppers

Thanks everyone I was able to add it online. Not sure why they announced that you have to wait till day of? Maybe thats for only day tickets? But oh well, got it figured it out

I believe that was for single day tickets, not multi-day tickets.

It's day of only for single day tickets and Annual Passes. If you have a multi-day ticket, you can add Genie+ for all days ahead of time or day of if you only want Genie+ for some (but not all) days.

Yay! One less thing to worry about when waking up.


Enjoy your trip!
