What You Need to Know About the New Lightning Lane System at Disney World (Goodbye Genie Plus)

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator explains the transition from Disney Genie Plus to a new system called Lightning Lane, which begins on July 24th. The new structure consists of two distinct options: Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass. Multi Pass functions similarly to the old FastPass Plus system, allowing guests to book three attractions in advance. Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels receive an advantage with a seven-day booking window, while others can book three days in advance. The creator notes that Multi Pass utilizes a tier system for most parks, where guests select one attraction from tier one and two from tier two. Single Pass is reserved for the most popular rides and must be purchased individually. The video also addresses logistical details, such as the removal of the two-hour rule, the continued availability of the free Disney Genie service for pinning favorite rides, and the inclusion of on-ride photos. The creator concludes by expressing hope that the new system will reduce the frustration associated with the previous service, though it will still require strategic planning to ensure success during a park visit.
