Do Disney passes come with Genie Plus?

As an Annual Passholder, you will purchase the Disney Genie+ Service one day at a time. Annual Passholders don't currently have the ability to purchase the Disney Genie+ Service in advance, so you will simply purchase Genie+ on the day of your visit for any day you choose to use it.



No, as of 2026, Disney theme park "passes"—including standard multi-day tickets and the various tiers of Annual Passes—do not automatically come with the Genie Plus service (which has been renamed the Lightning Lane Multi Pass at Walt Disney World and remains Disney Genie+ at Disneyland). This service is a completely separate, add-on purchase that utilizes date-based dynamic pricing. For standard ticket holders, you can purchase the Multi Pass on the day of your visit through the My Disney Experience or Disneyland app, typically starting at $15 to $39 per person, per day depending on the date. For Walt Disney World Annual Passholders, there is no longer a "yearly add-on" option like there was in the past; they must also purchase it day-by-day if they wish to use it. While the base ticket provides entry to the park and access to standby lines, the Lightning Lane Multi Pass is an optional "skip-the-line" upgrade that allows you to book arrival windows for dozens of attractions, helping you maximize your time in the parks during the busy 2026 spring season.
