If you visited Walt Disney World prior to 2020, you are probably quite familiar with FastPass. The service allowed guests to book up to three selections per park per day for free. This service was officially retired by 2021 when Disney Genie and Disney Genie+ were introduced.

Disney Genie+ is the new FastPass+, whether we like it or not. At its core, Disney Genie+ provides the same service as FastPass+, it gives guests the opportunity to skip the lines, and maximize their time in the parks. However, this new service now comes at a cost.

MORE DETAILS

Genie+ is an add-on to the Genie service. With Genie+, you can reserve a spot in a ride's Lightning Lane, a shorter line available only to Genie+ users.

MORE DETAILS

Lightning Lanes have replaced the FastPass lines at Disney theme parks. These work as expedited queues for rides, allowing guests to surpass the standard line in favor of a faster option. Lightning Lane access isn't free. It comes as a perk when you purchase Genie+.

How much do FASTPASSES cost? Nothing! Digital FASTPASSES are included in the cost of your ticket. MaxPass costs $20/day per person.

At Disneyland, the FastPass replacement cost starts at $25 per day and we have seen it go up to $30 per person per day. You can lock in the $25 per day when you add the service on to your tickets when you initially purchase them.

Guests of Marriott properties, The Walt Disney World Swan and The Walt Disney World Dolphin, can also take advantage of early Individual Lightning Lane access. Note that you don't need to purchase Genie+ to buy Individual Lightning Lane passes. These two services are entirely separate.

In fact, usually the most popular rides are excluded for Genie+ guests. For example, Lightning Lanes aren't available through Genie+ for Disney World's Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, TRON Lightcycle/Run, Avatar Flight of Passage, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.

MORE DETAILS

Can you have more than one Genie+ Lightning Lane reservation at a time? Yes. The Genie 120-minute rule says that you can always make a new reservation if two hours have passed since you made the last one, or two hours since park opening if you made the reservation before the park opened.

For a per-attraction, per-person fee, schedule a return time to use the faster Lighting Lane queue at the one or two top attractions in each park excluded from Genie+. The alternative is waiting in a slower line. How much does it cost? The daily cost ranges from $20 to $29 per person (tax additional).

MORE DETAILS

Disney Genie+ service is available for purchase before your visit—as an add-on with new ticket or vacation package purchases—or may be available as a single-day purchase for existing ticket holders through the Disneyland app on the day of your park visit after park entry.

Genie+ Changes Coming in 2024 Earlier in 2023, Disney said, “We have heard from guests that they would like ways to plan with Disney Genie+ service and individual Lightning Lane selections before the day of their park visit, and we want you to know we are working on ways guests may do this for visits in 2024.”

MORE DETAILS

With this change, as of June 27th, 2023, guests in Disney World will be able to buy Genie+ based on what (and how many) parks they want to visit. In other words, Genie+ pricing will actually be PARK SPECIFIC and your purchase will either be for a single park or multiple parks.

MORE DETAILS

In addition to getting all of the great features that come with the complimentary Disney Genie service, purchasing Disney Genie+ service offers even more convenience and flexibility, starting at $25.00 USD per ticket per day. Prices and availability vary by date.
