Hey there, Alex, and welcome to planDisney! Your Walt Disney World Vacation is only weeks away! Are you excited yet? Alex, the previous Fastpass system has been replaced with the Disney Genie+ Service. With Fastpass+, Guests used to reserve their rides in advance. However, that process has changed a bit with the new Disney Genie+ Service. Genie+ is a paid option that allows you to request an arrival window for certain attractions throughout the Theme Parks. Guests board their selected attractions through the Lightning Lane queue and typically have shorter wait times than the standard queue lines. With Disney’s Genie+ Service, Guests can reserve their first lightning lane entrance starting at 7 a.m. the day of their Theme Park Visit. You can make an additional reservation after you use your first Genie+ entrance or 2 hours after park opening, whichever occurs first. You can use this time frame to continue making reservations throughout the remainder of the day. Even though things have changed a bit, Genie+ is the perfect way to take your Disney Vacation to the next level!Here are the steps that I follow to grab reservations for my family.
Be sure to review the reservation time on the final confirmation screen. In my experience, the time displayed initially is not always the same when you reach the final step. I hope this helps, Alex! Your Walt Disney World vacation awaits!Until Next Time, PG
