Hi, Mark! Welcome to planDisney!
You couldn't have chosen a better time to plan a visit the Walt Disney World Resort! Late November means the weather will be cooler, and the
theme parks will be all decked out in their holiday finery. You'll be in the spirit before you can say "Bibbidi bobbidi boo!"
Mark, FastPass+ was paused when the Walt Disney World Resort reopened last year, and hasn't returned. Instead,
Disney recently announced that the new Disney Genie service would launch soon to replace FastPass+. And just like Aladdin's pal, Disney Genie will make your Disney wishes come true!
When
Disney Genie hits your smart device sometime this fall, it will help you plan your day based on your interests. Are you a Star Wars fan? Love to discover new foodie finds? Have a princess in your midst? Whatever your priorities are, Disney Genie will design an itinerary just for you, and update it throughout the day. And you can "plus" your experience with Disney Genie+, a paid option that will allow you to select the next available time at a variety of attractions and skip the standby queue via the Lightning Lane. That will be a real time saver!
And you'll have the option to purchase Lightning Lane access for up to two of the most popular attractions per day, separate from your Disney Genie+ selections.
We don't yet have a date for the launch of Disney Genie, Mark, so keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for the latest. For more details about the service, check out t
his helpful video that will walk you through all the features, and even highlight some questions from our own planDisney panelists!
I hope this helps you plan your magical days, Mark. Thank you so much for stopping by, and please come see us again if you have any more questions!
Keep Disney Dreaming,
Kathy K.
