What is the benefit of Disney Genie Plus?

Disney Genie+ service lets you use Lightning Lane entrances at select attractions and experiences. On average, Guests can enter 2 to 3 attractions or experiences per day using Lightning Lane entrances if the first selection is made early in the day.



As of late 2024 and continuing into 2026, the service formerly known as "Disney Genie+" has been rebranded at Walt Disney World as Lightning Lane Multi Pass. The primary benefit remains the ability to skip the standard standby lines for many popular attractions, significantly reducing your wait times. However, the 2026 system offers an improved "advance planning" benefit that Genie+ lacked: guests staying at Disney Resort hotels can now purchase the pass and book up to three Lightning Lane selections up to 7 days before their arrival, while all other guests can do so 3 days in advance. This allows families to secure their "must-do" rides—like Haunted Mansion or Big Thunder Mountain—well before they step into the park. Additionally, the Multi Pass includes "PhotoPass" perks, such as digital downloads of select attraction photos and videos from your day. By effectively "buying time," the service allows you to experience more of the park in a single day, which is especially beneficial during peak holiday seasons.

The 120-minute rule is determined by when you make the reservation, not the return time for the attraction. So if you both log on at 9 AM to make a reservation for different attractions, you will both have to wait 120 minutes (or after riding the attraction, whichever comes first) to make your next selections.
