Unless you’re some kind of super-human with LOTS of energy, determination, and luck, it can be tough to ride EVERY attraction in Disney World in one trip (particularly a short one) — even with a little help from Disney Genie+! Even if you don’t end up tackling all the rides in Disney, you can definitely knock out a good amount of attractions if you’re strategic about your days (though depending on the crowd levels it could be challenging!).

Trying to ride everything in Disney World is a tricky mission!

If you’re planning a trip to Disney World, this is an important Genie+ rule you need to know about because it could seriously impact your day!

Back in 2022, Disney made a CRITICAL change to Disney Genie+ guidelines. Regardless of whether you’ll be going to Disney World with a single-day ticket, multi-day ticket, annual pass, or any other ticket type, Genie+ CANNOT be added to your tickets or vacation package in advance.

Instead, (as of June 8th, 2022) all guests can only buy Genie+ ONE DAY at a time, on each DAY they want to use it.

So, let’s say you’ll be in Disney World for 5 days and want to use Genie+ for each day. On day 1 of your trip, you’ll get up early in the morning and buy Genie+ for that day. Then, you’ll do the same thing on day 2, day 3, day 4, etc. You cannot add the Genie+ option to your tickets in advance, you’ll need to buy it each day for your trip.

If you’re going for 5 days and only want to buy it on days 2 and 3, then you’ll be able to just get up earlier on those days to buy Genie+.

Genie+ generally becomes available for purchase starting at midnight on the day of your trip, so you can buy it as early as that time. Just note that you won’t be able to make your first Genie+ selection until 7AM.

To buy Genie+ on the day of your visit, open the My Disney Experience app. Hit the three horizontal lines to the right-hand side, select “My Disney Genie Day,” select “Tip Board,” and then hit “Purchase for Today” on the Genie+ banner.

Remember that the price for Genie+ varies by day so it may be more or less expensive on different days of your trip. We’ve seen it go up as high as $35 per person per day.

Keep in mind that Genie+ has SOLD OUT on select days. So if you want to make sure that you can use the service, you’ll want to buy it SOONER rather than later in the day. Our advice? Grab Genie+ early in the morning (well before you can make those first selections at 7AM). Then, at 7AM you can make your first pick and you’ll already have purchased the service (helping things go smoother).

Genie+ can feel confusing, and all that language can start to blur together, but we’ve got tons of posts that break down all parts of Genie and Genie+! In the meantime, stay tuned for all the latest Disney news and park updates!
