Does each person need Genie Plus?

Each guest must have their own Genie + Lightning Lane purchased as well as their own Individual Lightning Lane. It is per person, not per party, when purchasing. A Lightning Lane purchase is tied to an individual park ticket. If you only buy Genie + for one only that person will be able to use Lightning Lane.



Yes, in 2026, every individual in your party who wishes to use the expedited "Lightning Lane" entries must have their own Lightning Lane Multi Pass (the service that replaced Genie+ at Walt Disney World and remains the branding at Disneyland). While you can manage the entire family's selections from a single smartphone using the "My Disney Experience" or "Disneyland" app, each ticket or Magic Key must have the service purchased for it to be eligible for a reservation. The only exception is for children under the age of 3 who do not require a park ticket; they can simply accompany the adults into the Lightning Lane without a separate purchase. For everyone else, the price is per person, per day, and typically ranges from $25 to $35 depending on the date and demand. It is important to note that you cannot "share" a pass; when you scan your MagicBand or phone at the ride entrance, the system verifies that that specific person has a valid reservation. To maximize value, most families only purchase it for the specific days they plan to visit "headliner" heavy parks like Magic Kingdom or Hollywood Studios.
