Hiya, Ilana! Welcome to planDisney and thanks for your question!
When the Disneyland Resort reopened after an extended closure due to the pandemic, FASTPASS and Disney MaxPass were suspended. Then we learned not too long ago that these services will officially be retired and
Disney Genie and Disney Genie+ will take their place. Disney Genie is a complimentary digital feature within the
Disneyland app that will create customized park-touring itineraries based on your interests. Disney Genie+ will be available for $20 per day, per ticket and will work very similarly to how Disney MaxPass worked in the past. Guests will select the next available arrival time for an attraction and then skip most of the wait by using the Lightning Lane.
Disney Genie and Disney Genie+ will debut sometime this fall, but we don't know the exact date yet. If they haven't launched by the time you visit the parks, you will use the standby queues for most attractions and the virtual queues for
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and
WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure. Keep your eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for any Disney Genie announcements as your travel dates approach.
I hope your trip to the Happiest Place on Earth is full of magic and memories!
