Hey, howdy, hey, Keith, and welcome to planDisney! It looks like your vacation to the Most Magical Place on Earth will be here before you know it, and I'm sure you can't wait to
celebrate summer throughout the theme parks! With so many magical new offerings, you've picked a great time to visit! One of the newest changes is the switch over from Disney Genie+ Service to
Lightning Lane Multi Pass, so let's get into the logistics so you'll be ready to tackle both systems during your stay!
Keith, since you'll be arriving before the official switch on July 24, any Lightning Lane reservations you make before that date will be through Genie+ and can only be purchased and selected on the day of at 7 AM EST. On July 24, at 7 AM, you will then be able to make advance selections for the remaining days of your vacation (up to 14 days) using the new Lightning Lane Multi Pass system in the
My Disney Experience mobile app.
One of the notable changes for this system, aside from being able to make selections in advance, is that attractions will now be grouped, and you will be able to select one attraction from Group 1 and two additional attractions from Group 2 for all theme parks with the exception of Animal Kingdom Theme Park, which will not use a grouping system. To help you prepare for the change, I'd recommend taking a look at the
available attractions so you will be prepared to make the best choices for your family's remaining vacation days on July 24!
Keith, I hope this is helpful, and I hope you will find the benefit of making these advance selections creates more magic during your visit! I know I'm excited about not having to tackle this task every morning at 7 AM and having the flexibility to choose return times in advance that work best with our other plans for the day!
If you have any other vacation planning questions as you count down the final days before your visit, come on back to planDisney and let us know! The Genie may be going back in the lamp, but you've still got a friend in
me, and I'm happy to help!
Magic Awaits,
Alison
