Hi Melanie! Thanks for bringing your great question to planDisney! I’ll catch you up on all the big news!
So, FastPass+ service has entered retirement. Our friends at the Walt Disney World Resort have shared that the service will not be returning. However, we rubbed a lamp from the Cave of Wonders and found a new service called
Disney Genie!
Disney Genie is a complimentary service available through the
My Disney Experience app, that will help Guests to plan their Disney day! This service will provide Guests with updates throughout their visit! Including notifications as to when certain rides and attractions are experiencing shorter than usual wait times!
For Guests choosing to purchase an upgrade, there is Disney Genie+! This service is available for $15/day per ticket. Disney Genie+ will allow Guests to skip the wait in the traditional queue and head into the new Lightning Lane! Disney Genie+ will allow Lightning Lane access to many, but not all, attractions across the parks!
Finally, the most popular attractions in the parks, such as Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom Park, will be available through an individual Lightning Lane purchase. We are still awaiting pricing information for this service. Guests will be able to select up to two Lightning Lane attractions per day using this service!
Disney Genie, Disney Genie+, and individual Lightning Lane selections will begin soon! Keep checking the Walt Disney World Resort website for the most up-to-date information!
Hakuna Matata! Jonathan
