Can you park hop with Genie Plus?

Park Hopping, Genie Plus, and Individual Lightning Lane Selections. You can definitely park hop and use Genie+. Here are a few things to know about how that works: Your first Genie+ reservation does not need to be at the park where you have a Park Pass Reservation.



Yes, in 2026, you can absolutely park hop with the service formerly known as Genie+ (now rebranded as the Lightning Lane Multi Pass), provided your theme park ticket includes the "Park Hopper" option. The Multi Pass is a "per day" purchase that covers all four parks at Walt Disney World or both parks at Disneyland Resort. This means that if you start your day at Magic Kingdom and book a Lightning Lane for Space Mountain, you can then open the app while you are on the monorail and book your next Lightning Lane for a ride at EPCOT, like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. A major 2026 "pro-tip" is that you can even pre-book up to three Lightning Lanes across different parks if you are a Disney Resort guest, though you must ensure your arrival times for the second park align with when you actually plan to hop (usually after 11:00 AM or 2:00 PM depending on current rules). This flexibility makes the Multi Pass an essential tool for "Max-Hopping," allowing you to efficiently experience the "headliner" attractions at multiple parks within a single calendar day.
