What is the new name for Disney fast pass?

In the past, Disney offered a free FastPass option to skip the line at select rides by making an advance reservation with your park ticket. However, that option has been retired and replaced with paid Lightning Lane and Genie+ add-ons that work through a phone app. Here's how Disney's new FastPass system works.
