Welcome to planDisney Kathleen!
Things are always evolving and changing at Walt Disney World, so it is time to introduce
Genie+ and Lightning Lane (which replaced the FastPass system).
The new system is similar in that you skip the stand-by line and enter a designated line for an attraction. To use
Genie+, you will need to add it on for each guest in your travel party. Currently, the cost is $15 per day, per guest (prices subject to change). This covers your entire day, even if you have the
Park Hopper option on your ticket. Genie+ can be added one day at a time, so you can decide daily if you want to purchase the service.
Once added, use the My Disney Experience app to select a window of time for an attraction (based on availability), then return during your hour and zip through the Lightning Lane entrance. Additional passes can be secured 2 hours later, or after using your current pass (whichever is sooner).
For the super-duper popular attractions in each park, you are able to purchase Individual Lightning Lane. This can be done on its own, or in addition to Genie+. Read up on the
details of Individual Lightning Lane.
Genie+ can be a big timesaver if you want to enjoy a lot of attractions. Some days, we do not purchase it if our main goal is dining, strolling the parks, and events like fireworks or parades. It is up to you when or if to purchase it.
If you have any additional questions as you get closer to your vacation, let us know! The team at planDisney is here for you.
