Hi Iqbal! It sounds like you’re planning a visit to the Disney Parks! That is so exciting! And, I’ve got some good news for you as you continue your planning! Let’s get to it!
Guests wishing to visit one or more (there are four) of the theme parks at the Walt Disney World Resort must have both a valid theme park ticket and a
theme park reservation for the park being visited. Here is the great news…once you have both of those, you are welcome to enjoy all the attractions and rides within the parks at no additional cost! Your admission ticket gains you access to the attractions!
Now, for Guests wishing to experience shorter wait times for some of the attractions, there is a ticket add-on called
Disney Genie+. Disney Genie+ allows Guests to choose from select attractions to experience shorter wait times. The price for Disney Genie+ varies by day. When the parks are in high demand, such as around holidays, the price is higher. When the parks are less crowded, the price is less expensive. You can see the daily price on the My Disney Experience app.
There is an additional feature available called an Individual Lightning Lane. This ticket “add-on” allows Guests to pay individually to have a shorter wait time for the most popular attractions in the parks! The price for Individual Lightning Lanes also varies by date and park attendance. Similar to Disney Genie+, Individual Lightning Lanes are also available for purchase on your My Disney Experience app!
Iqbal, even if you don’t choose to purchase Disney Genie+ or Individual Lightning Lanes, your admission ticket still allows you to experience all of the attractions. You will be able to experience the attractions using the traditional queue. The upgrades that I shared gain you access to shorter wait times.
Happy planning!
Jonathan
