Currently, Guests have the ability to add Disney Genie+ service to their vacation package for the length of their ticket. Guests may also purchase Disney Genie+ service directly through My Disney Experience each day they would like to use the service.
Beginning June 8, Guests will no longer have the option of adding Disney Genie+ service to their vacation package for the length of their ticket. Guests who wish to add Disney Genie+ service after June 8 must purchase it through My Disney Experience one day at a time, subject to availability.
