Hi Elizabeth!
Welcome to planDisney! Your Walt Disney World Resort vacation is approaching quickly, and now is the perfect time to get all of your Donald Ducks in a row!
Elizabeth, Disney Genie+ service was replaced with new
Lightning Lane passes in July 2024. One of the biggest changes with Lightning Lane passes is that pre-arrival purchasing has returned, so you can start planning for those must-do attractions before your vacation begins. If you’re staying at a hotel in the
Disney Resorts Collection or other select hotels, you can start making those pre-arrival selections and purchases seven days before your check-in date, while all other Guests can begin purchasing three days before visiting the parks. All of these selections and purchases can be made through your
My Disney Experience Mobile App. When you open your app, you should see this option prominently displayed, and then it’s a simple process to select your date, theme park, and attractions, and then complete your purchase!
When making your selections, you’ll see two different products - Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass. With Muti Pass, you can choose three attractions from your selected park before your arrival. It's important to note that all of your pre-arrival selections must be from the same park, even if you have the
Park Hopper Option included with your tickets. However, as you redeem your Lightning Lane Multi Pass selections on the day of your visit, you can make additional selections (based on availability) from any park. If you're purchasing Lightning Lane Multi Pass for a group, all of your selections at the time of purchase must be the same, but you can go back into your app and modify individual choices after purchasing as available.
Lightning Lane Single Pass provides more of an à la carte approach to one or two of the most popular attractions in each park. You can purchase up to two Single Pass entries per day per Guest, and they can be from the same park or different parks than your Lightning Lane Multi Pass purchases.
Elizabeth, I hope this information is helpful and that you enjoy your visit to Walt Disney World Resort next month! You've got a friend in me here at planDisney, so please stop by to see us again if you have any other questions!
To Infinity and Beyond!
