    I’m looking for fast passes for rides Where can I find it ?

    Niloo,

    Thanks for asking your question to planDisney!

    The FastPass attraction reservation program that you refer to is no longer running. The now-defunct program where you would book up to 3 attraction reservations per day ahead of time ended a little over a year ago, and it has been replaced with the new Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes programs. These are both day-of attraction reservation systems, so you do not need to book something days or weeks ahead of time. Our family enjoyed these new systems on our recent trip, as we were able to confidently secure some of the big new rides, and still enjoy some spontaneity in our days as we chose our next adventures in the moment.

    Here are some of the program basics.

    Regardless of where you stay, every guest who opts to use these programs would do so on the actual day they are going into a park.

    Genie+ can be purchased on the date of use, starting at 12:01 am that day (Orlando time). Genie+ Lightning Lane attraction times can be reserved starting at 7 am, the day of the visit. There is no difference in the start time for guests, whether they are staying at a Disney Resort hotel or not.

    Individual Lightning Lane times can be reserved starting at 7 am, the day of the visit, for guests staying at Disney Resort Hotels and other select hotels. All other guests can start making Individual Lightning Lane reservations at the time of park opening.

    The difference between these two is that the Genie+ program lets you reserve one ride at a time for many of the popular attractions in each park. There are over 40 attractions to choose from across all four parks, so there are a lot of options. Basically, after you complete your first reserved ride time, you can make your next selection. The Individual Lightning Lane program, on the other hand, lets you reserve a specific ride time for one or two of the most popular attractions at a given park. These two programs run independently.  

    BONUS TIP
    Where do you buy and select Genie+ or Individual Lightning Lane reservations?
    Just open your My Disney Experience App on your smartphone that morning, and you will see prominent links to make these purchases.

    WARNING
    While it happens infrequently, Genie+ can sell out for a date. If having the service is something you find to be crucial, consider staying up the night before to secure it right at 12:01 AM, as you move over to the day in question.

    Please feel free to write me back directly with any follow-up questions that you might have.

    Have a Magical Vacation!
