Hello Arlene! Thanks for bringing a great question to planDisney! I’m happy to help!
After providing Guests with many years of quick access to some of our favorite attractions, FastPass+ service has officially entered the wonderful world of...retirement. Many Guests will miss this service! However, I am happy to share that a whole new world of services has been introduced to fill the shoes of FastPass+!
Beginning very soon,
Disney Genie will be available to Guests through their
My Disney Experience account and app! This complimentary service will offer Guests helpful and convenient tips while visiting Walt Disney World Resort. Tips will even include notifications as to when attractions are experiencing shorter than usual wait periods! The service will also provide tips customized to your interests!
Guests wishing to skip the wait in lines can purchase an upgraded version of Disney Genie called Disney Genie+! When introduced, this feature will be available for $15 per ticket holder. Disney Genie+ service will grant you access to many of the rides and attractions in the four Disney Parks!
And, for some of the most popular attractions, Guests can purchase access to the brand new Lightning Lane! Purchasing this feature will allow Guests to select two of the most popular attractions in the parks, such as Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and skip the lines for those attractions!
Arlene, we’re all waiting for the Walt Disney World Resort to let the Genie out of the lamp! Keep an eye on the Walt Disney World Resort website and your My Disney Experience account (or app) to hear the news of the official starting date!
Hakuna Matata! Jonathan
