Welcome to planDisney, Sarah! Your magical vacation is just around the river bend, and you're arriving in the midst of the
switch over from
Disney Genie+ Service to
Lightning Lane Multi Pass, so let's dig a little deeper into the details so you'll be ready to utilize both systems to make the most of your time at the parks!
Sarah, Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass will officially become available to Guests on July 24. Because you will be visiting the parks both before and after that date, you will use Disney Genie+ on July 22 and July 23, and on July 24 at 7 AM EST, you will become eligible to
purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass and make advance attraction selections for that same day as well as the remaining days of your vacation. Both systems will be available in the
My Disney Experience mobile app.
Because this system will be new, here are a few tips I'll share with you about what I've learned:
- Guests will be able to make three advance selections for each day of their vacation starting 7 days in advance of check-in if they are staying as a Guest at Disney Resorts Collection hotel and 3 days in advance if staying off-site. Advance planning will not be available, however, until July 24.
- Guests will be able to make an additional selection after redeeming their first advance selection, and may continue to make additional selections throughout the day. Guests will also be able to modify existing plans as needed in the My Disney Experience mobile app.
- Guests will only be able to utilize Lightning Lane Multi Pass one time for each available attraction.
- Guests may choose to purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Lightning Lane Single Pass, both, or neither based on their preferences.
Sarah, I hope you will find the advance planning for the second part of your visit helpful. I'm looking forward to having one less early morning task each day and knowing we have already selected some attractions ahead of time! While you're visiting, be sure to make time to check out all of the exciting summer celebrations at the parks and don't miss
