Disney has recently announced exciting updates to their Disney Genie+ service, enhancing guests’ ability to plan their visits to Walt Disney World. These changes aim to improve the overall guest experience by providing more flexibility and convenience in planning ahead starting July 24th. This article will outline the key updates to the Disney Genie service, focusing on how these changes will affect your visit to Walt Disney World.
New Lightning Lane Passes System
One of the major updates to the Disney Genie service is the introduction of a new Lightning Lane passes system. The previously named Disney Genie+ will now be called the Lightning Lane Multi Pass, while Individual Lightning Lane passes will be renamed Lightning Lane Single Pass. This renaming aims to provide clearer distinctions between the different types of passes available to guests.
Lightning Lane Multi Pass
When you purchase the Lightning Lane Multi Pass, you can make up to three Lightning Lane selections in advance of your visit to a theme park. Additionally, you’ll have the option to choose available times for each selection.
On the day of your visit, after using one of your selections, check the My Disney Experience app for availability to make an additional selection.
Lightning Lane Single Pass
The Lightning Lane Single Pass will continue to function similarly to the current system, allowing you to secure a time to ride one of our most popular attractions
Advanced Planning for Lightning Lane Passes
A significant enhancement with the new system is the ability for guests to make Lightning Lane selections up to three days in advance. Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels and select other hotels will have the advantage of planning up to seven days in advance for the length of their stay (up to 14 days). This added flexibility allows for better coordination of your visit, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience.
Simplified Purchasing Process
In addition to the renaming and advanced planning capabilities, the updated My Disney Experience app will feature a quicker and easier purchase process for both Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass. This streamlined approach is designed to save time and reduce the hassle often associated with booking attractions.
Adoption at Disneyland Resort
Disneyland Resort will also adopt the new Lightning Lane names, aligning the service across both parks. Despite these changes, the core features of the Disney Genie service will remain available within the apps, continuing to assist guests in optimizing their park experiences.
Conclusion
The recent updates to the Disney Genie service reflect Disney’s commitment to enhancing guest experiences through improved planning and convenience. By introducing the new Lightning Lane passes system, enabling advanced selections, and simplifying the purchase process, Disney aims to make your visit to Walt Disney World more enjoyable and stress-free. Keep these changes in mind as you plan your next magical adventure at the parks.
