Hi John! Welcome to planDisney!
You must be SO excited to visit the Most Magical Place on Earth in just TWO more days! Now is the perfect time to put the finishing touches on all your planning and get your
packing list ready. It will be time to enjoy the
Walt Disney World Resort 50th anniversary celebration very soon!
When the Walt Disney World Resort reopened last year, FastPass+ was suspended. Recently, it was announced that FastPass+ would be retired completely to make way for new digital offerings called
Disney Genie+ and Lightning Lane entrances. These are extensions of Disney Genie Service which will launch on the
My Disney Experience mobile app beginning October 19, 2021. I'm not sure how long you plan to stay and explore the theme parks, but you may be there during the launch of this exciting new service!
For the beginning of your stay that begins before the start of Disney Genie+, you'll simply head to the standby queue for all attractions. Once
Disney Genie+ begins October 19, 2021, you can either continue to enter the standby queues or you can choose to purchase Disney Genie+ or Lightning Lane entrances for individual attractions. To read all about the cost and availability of this new service, visit the link I included above.
I hope you have a great vacation, John! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
