Is PhotoPass included with Genie Plus?

Yes, it does! If you have Genie+, all your PhotoPass photos are included that day. Genie+ also includes Disney PhotoPass lenses. These augmented reality lenses are fun to play with in the park.



As of early 2026, "Genie Plus" has been rebranded to Lightning Lane Multi Pass at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland. At Disneyland (California), unlimited digital downloads of all PhotoPass photos (including those taken by photographers and on-ride) are fully included with the purchase of a Multi Pass. However, at Walt Disney World (Florida), the 2026 policy is slightly different: the Multi Pass only includes "digital downloads of select attraction photos and videos" (ride photos), but it does not include photos taken by roaming photographers around the parks. To get those, Florida guests must still purchase the separate "Memory Maker" package. This distinction is a frequent point of confusion for 2026 travelers, so it is vital to check your specific resort’s app to see which "photo perks" are active for your visit.
