What time can you start booking Genie Plus?

You can purchase Genie Plus Disney World for that upcoming day starting at midnight. Be sure to purchase it before 7 am so you are ready to make your first reservation right at 7 am! Depending on how busy the parks are when you visit, you may not need it for every park every day.



As of early 2026, the timing for purchasing and using the service formerly known as Disney Genie+ (now rebranded as Lightning Lane Multi Pass) is critical for a successful park day. You can purchase the service through the My Disney Experience app starting at midnight on the day of your visit. However, you do not need to wake up at midnight; most guests purchase it shortly before 7:00 AM. The most important time to remember is 7:00 AM sharp, which is when all guests with the service can make their first Lightning Lane selection for the day. This applies whether you are staying on-site at a Disney Resort or off-site. For the most popular "Tier 1" rides, such as Slinky Dog Dash or Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, spots can fill up within seconds, so you should have the app open and ready to book at exactly 7:00 AM. If you are also interested in "Individual Lightning Lanes" for high-demand rides like Rise of the Resistance, on-site guests can also book those at 7:00 AM, while off-site guests must wait until the official park opening time to make those specific additional purchases.
