If you already have your ticket, you might be able to purchase it on the day of your park visit — after park entry — through the Disney app. For Disney World, however, it appears Genie+ can only be purchased on the day of your park visit. Log into your account on the park app.
You can purchase Genie+ day by day on each day of your trip using the My Disney Experience app. Genie+ is available for purchase when the clock strikes midnight on the day of your visit, but you don't need to stay up late (instead, just wake up about 15 minutes early to secure it before the 7 a.m. selection process).
Disney Genie+ can't be purchased until the morning of each of your theme park days. Starting at midnight of the day of your theme park reservation, you can make the purchase.
Disney World attendees can only add Genie+ to their tickets on the day of their visit, beginning at 12 AM. If you're visiting Disney Land in California, you can also add Genie+ to your single or multi-day tickets before your visit.

After you have scanned your ticket at the park entrance, you may purchase Genie+ by tapping “Get Disney Genie+ for Today” in the Disneyland app. If you have a multi-day ticket, you will need to go through this process for each day that you wish to purchase the service.
Purchasing Genie+ is something you do on the day that you want the service. It is not something you can purchase days or weeks in advance. You can buy for just select days of your trip or for each park day of your visit, it is totally up to you.
The other important thing to keep in mind is these selections cannot be made in advance which means that you will have to log onto the My Disney Experience App every morning at 7:00 AM during your vacation to grab your Lightning Lane for that specific day.
1. You can only book Lightning Lanes one at at time. Unlike with the old Fastpass system, Genie Plus Lightning Lanes can only booked one at a time. You must badge in to the attraction before you can book your next one.
Genie – Frequently Asked QuestionsGuests who have purchased the Disney Genie+ service can make their first selection at 7:00 am on the day of their visit.
Purchase Disney Genie+ service to use the Lightning Lane entrances at select attractions and experiences (subject to change without notice). On average, Guests can enter 2 to 3 attractions or experiences per day using the Lightning Lane entrance if the first selection is made early in the day.
The 120-minute rule is determined by when you make the reservation, not the return time for the attraction. So if you both log on at 9 AM to make a reservation for different attractions, you will both have to wait 120 minutes (or after riding the attraction, whichever comes first) to make your next selections.
You do not have to purchase Genie Plus service to access them. I'll say it again in case it wasn't clear the first time: YOU DO NOT NEED TO BUY GENIE PLUS TO PURCHASE INDIVIDUAL LIGHTNING LANES! Individual Lightning Lanes are sold separately for each attraction through the My Disney Experience app.
Genie Plus is definitely worth it for Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, and if you don't like early starts, you might consider it for Epcot and Animal Kingdom. If you are park hopping, Genie+ is even better value as it maximises the number of rides you have access to.
Use Genie+ how it works best for you.Use stacking to hold a later Genie+ reservation and continue making others that you'll use more rapidly throughout the day. Or use stacking to make multiple Genie+ reservations for later in the day, allowing you to skip lots of ride lines at once.
If you didn't add Genie+ for your entire stay when you purchased your park tickets, the easiest way to get it is to add it on each day of your visit. Until the day of your park reservation, when you try to purchase it on the My Disney Experience app, you'll see that you are not eligible.
I recommend keeping the number of tickets linked to a given account to about 10 or fewer. As far as theme park reservations go, it is OK to book multiple reservations to cover all of your party. As long as everyone has the same starting park on the same dates, you can all enter the parks together just fine.
One possibility is that the company has found the “sweet spot” for pricing during popular tourist seasons, and it's $35. Another is that price points have been “reset” and $35 is now the baseline for busier days, with the number only going higher when we enter the next big holiday season.
