    Our trip starts on July 24th, will we be able to purchase the new lightening lane pass on july 17th since we are staying at one of the select resorts?

    Hello Justin,

    Thanks for stopping by with a question for us. I'm happy to help!

    As you've heard, Disney Genie+ Service is being replaced by Lightning Lane Multi Pass on July 24, 2024. Once this system goes live, guests can begin purchasing and pre-planning eligible attraction return times in advance of their visit. I'm really excited to see these changes, as I've spent many past trips searching and refreshing at 7 a.m. each day. 

    If you'll be staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel or another eligible resort you'll be able to purchase and plan for your length of stay up to 7 days before check-in. However, this system will not be available to anyone before the launch date of July 24. Disney Genie+ will still be in use through July 23, so things will look a bit different on your upcoming trip. We'll need to let those tech fairies sprinkle some pixie dust overnight as the systems change, but once these changes are complete you will have access to purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass and/or Single Pass for each day of your stay at 7 a.m. on July 24.

    You'll be among the very first guests to use this new system, which I think is pretty exciting! You should be able to utilize that 7-day advance window on future trips, assuming you have an eligible resort reservation. I know this is likely not the answer you hoped for, but as Cinderella's Fairy Godmother said, "Even miracles take a little time."

    Justin, I hope this was helpful. Please come back and see us again should you need further clarification or planning assistance. We're always here to help make your visit as magical as possible.

    Magic and memories,
    Amy
