Hi, Valeria! Welcome to
planDisney! Thank you for bringing us your question. It is my pleasure to help you.
I see that you were planning to arrive on Christmas Day last year. I hope you had a festive time at the
Happiest Place on Earth. Although that day has come and gone, I would still like to answer your question so that you are prepared for your next trip.
In regards to your question, the Fast Pass system has been replaced by
Lightning Lanes, which is accessed by purchasing
Disney Genie+. You can purchase Genie+ online at the same time you are
purchasing your tickets or day-of on the
Disneyland Mobile App once you have entered the respective theme parks. It is also important to be aware of
Individual Lightning Lanes. These lightning lane entrances are available "à la carte" at a separate cost and are available upon entering the parks.
While it is not necessary to purchase Genie+, I like to purchase this service to optimize my day at the parks. Another perk is that you can enjoy unlimited
Disney PhotoPass Downloads of your photos. That means whenever you spot a PhotoPass Photographer, you can get your picture taken and download the photos without the watermark! Yay!
Valeria, if you have any additional questions regarding any of the topics discussed above, please come back and ask. We would love to help!
Your Pal,
Alejandra
