Hello Amanda! Welcome to planDisney! I’m glad you brought that question to us today! Finding the best ways to experience the attractions, with limited waiting, is always a great planning strategy!
Our old Disney companion known as FastPass has officially entered the Disney vault. However, in its place is a whole new world of theme park-going experiences! Our new Disney Parks companion is called
Disney Genie! This is a complimentary service available through a Guest’s My Disney Experience account! Disney Genie will offer park-going tips and customized advice for Guests! For example, you might receive a notification as to when a particular ride is experiencing lower than usual wait time.
As another option, Guests can upgrade to
Disney Genie+! This paid feature will allow Guests to skip the lines throughout the four Disney Parks! While this feature will allow line skipping for over 40 attractions, it does not include the most popular attractions in the parks. There are two attractions, identified in each park, that will require an individual purchase if you want to skip those lines. That is known as an individual
Lightning Lane purchase. All of which can be done right on your My Disney Experience app!
Disney Genie, Disney Genie+, and Lightning Lane just launched at the Walt Disney World Resort! Take a magic carpet ride into the parks to discover all of the exciting ways to experience the attractions!
