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).

As of late 2025 and into 2026, Disney has officially retired the name "Genie Plus" and replaced it with Lightning Lane Multi Pass. Unlike the old system, you can and should buy it ahead of time. If you are staying at a Disney Resort hotel (or other select hotels), you can purchase the Multi Pass and book your first three attraction windows 7 days in advance of your stay. For all other guests with valid admission, you can purchase and book 3 days in advance. This is a major shift from the previous "day-of" 7:00 AM rush, allowing travelers to lock in their "Must-Do" rides like Space Mountain or Haunted Mansion before they even arrive in Orlando or Anaheim. For "Individual Lightning Lanes" (the top-tier rides like Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance), the same 7-day or 3-day advance purchase rules apply, giving 2026 visitors much more predictability and less "screen time" during their actual vacation days.

Yes, you can purchase Disney Genie+ ahead of time for your visit, but there are important rules and timing windows to know.

Here’s a breakdown of how it works:

For Most Guests (Staying Off-Site or at Non-Disney Hotels):

• You can purchase Genie+ starting at 12:00 AM (midnight) on the day of your park visit.
• You cannot buy it for a future date before that day arrives.
• You must have a valid park ticket and a park reservation (if required) linked in your My Disney Experience app to purchase it.

For Guests Staying at a Disney Resort Hotel or Other Select Hotels:

You get the advantage of earlier access: You can purchase Genie+ starting at 12:00 AM (midnight) for your entire length of stay. This means if you have a 5-day ticket, you can buy Genie+ for all 5 days at once once the window opens for your first day.

Key Details to Remember:

1. It’s Per Person, Per Day: You must purchase it for each member of your party for each day you want to use it.
2. Purchase via the App: All purchases are made through the My Disney Experience app. You cannot buy it at a physical location ahead of your park day.
3. Price is Dynamic: The cost of Genie+ varies daily based on expected crowd levels. The price you see at midnight is the price for that day.
4. Individual Lightning Lanes (ILLs) are Separate: Access to the top-tier rides (like Tron, Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance) is not included with Genie+. These “Individual Lightning Lanes” are purchased à la carte and can only be bought
