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 2026, the service formerly known as "Genie+" has been rebranded at Walt Disney World to Lightning Lane Multi Pass, and yes, it is still purchased per day. Unlike the original Genie+, you can now purchase and pre-select up to three attractions in advance (7 days early for Resort guests, 3 days for others), which has greatly reduced the stress of "day-of" planning. The price remains dynamic, meaning it fluctuates based on expected park attendance; a busy Saturday in July 2026 will cost significantly more than a rainy Tuesday in September. At Disneyland Resort in California, the system operates slightly differently, allowing for day-of purchases once you enter the park. In both locations, the service is a daily "add-on" and is not included in the base ticket price. For many 2026 visitors, the ability to secure their "must-do" rides days before their vacation begins has made the per-day cost more palatable, though it still requires a disciplined approach to the My Disney Experience or Disneyland app to maximize the value.
