Planning for a Disney Parks trip can be a complicated process that doesn’t leave a lot of room for spontaneity. But Disney’s planning service, Disney Genie, and its for-purchase add-on Disney Genie+, promises to simplify your planning and let you seize the moment at the same time.

Genie+ to Lightning Lane Multi Pass

Genie+ is out, Lightning Lane Multi Pass is here!

We wanted you to know that on July 24th Genie+ is going away! Disney's new skip-the-line service, Lightning Lane Multi Pass, is very similar to what Genie+ offered PLUS the added bonus of booking Lightning Lanes before your trip! Check out our full guide to Disney's Lightning Lane Multi Pass >>

Multi-Pass/Single Pass Lightning Lanes

On June 25, 2024, Disney announced an update for Genie+ that allows guests to select their Lightning Lane experiences prior to their arrival.

So, Walt Disney World is shaking things up with their Genie+ service and Individual Lightning Lane entry. They’re rolling out some fresh changes to help you plan ahead like a pro.

First up, they’re swapping in some snazzier, more straightforward names. Starting July 24, 2024, Disney Genie+ will transform into the Lightning Lane Multi-Pass, and Individual Lightning Lane will strut its stuff as the Lightning Lane Single Pass.

These updates are bringing some sweet perks for guests:

  • You can now set up your Lightning Lane plans before you even set foot in the park, giving you that extra sprinkle of pixie dust confidence (7 days in advance for Disney World hotel guests, 3 days in advance for all others).
  • Scope out and lock in your experiences and return times before you buy, so you know exactly what magic you’re signing up for. You can make up to three selections.
  • And the cherry on top: you can book your Lightning Lane attraction selections for multiple days of your vacay all in one go.

Lightning Lane Multi Pass

With Lightning Lane Multi Pass, you get to play the planning wizard. Before you even hit the park, you can snag up to three Lightning Lane selections per theme park. Plus, you get to pick your preferred times while you’re at it.

Then, on the big day, after you’ve breezed through one selection, just hop on the My Disney Experience app to see what other magical opportunities are up for grabs.

Lightning Lane Single Pass

The Lightning Lane Single Pass is keeping it classic but with a sprinkle of pre-planning pixie dust. You’ll still lock in a time for one of the hottest attractions, but now you can do it ahead of time. So, you can kick back knowing your spot is secured for some high-demand Disney fun.

How to Plan Ahead With Lightning Lanes

Here’s what you need to know for planning ahead:

  • Resort Guests: If you’re staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, you can start planning your Lightning Lane passes up to 7 days in advance, covering your entire stay (up to 14 days).
  • All Other Guests: You can plan your passes up to 3 days in advance.

This advance purchase window gives you the luxury of securing your must-do rides and experiences after sorting out your Advance Dining Reservations and any other plans.

You can go all-in with a Lightning Lane Multi Pass, snag a Lightning Lane Single Pass, or be a true Disney aficionado and get both. The My Disney Experience app will get a facelift to streamline purchasing and planning, letting you buy both types of passes in one fell swoop.

These new Lightning Lane passes will merge the best features of the current Genie services and the beloved FastPass+ service. This means more choices for planning ahead and less hassle during your magical vacation.

Lightning Lane Premier Pass

If you want the ability to skip nearly EVERY line in one park with no need for pre-planning, Lightning Lane Premier Pass is the way to go, but it’s not cheap. Disney World hotel guests can purchase 7 days in advance, while everyone else can purchase up to 3 days in advance.

©Disney

You’ll be able to enter each Lightning Lane attraction once with Lightning Lane Premier Pass with the ability to completely bypass the line. While you can certainly ride those rides again, you’ll have to wait in the normal standby queue after your first time. Prices for this skip-the-line option also vary depending on date, and it’s not able to be transferred between parks.

©Disney

Prices for Lightning Lane Premier Pass range from:

  • Magic Kingdom: $329 to $449 per person, plus tax
  • EPCOT: $169 to $249 per person, plus tax
  • Disney’s Hollywood Studios: $269 to $349 per person, plus tax
  • Disney’s Animal Kingdom: $129 to $199 per person, plus tax

Again, Lightning Lane Premier Pass is non-transferrable, unlike Lightning Lane Multi Pass — if you purchase it in Magic Kingdom, you’ll only be able to use it Magic Kingdom on that day, even if you park hop.

Note that Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Passes may be scheduled in the same return window. Carefully consider whether you’ll have time to experience both attractions before selecting return times that are close together.
