HUGE News just announced from Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort - coming this fall - Disney a new convenient digital service will be offered to guests - Disney Genie.
This new technology, which guides Guests through our theme parks with tips that can help them reduce time in lines, discover magic around every corner and take the guesswork out of “what’s next.”
The biggest part of this announcement is this is that FastPass+ in Walt Disney World Resort and MaxPass in Disneyland, are both being retired.
Disney Genie will be available this fall giving guests more flexibility in the parks by helping them reduce wait times, book dining reservations and overall, maximize your time spent in the parks. The huge news is that there will be TWO new paid options to skip the lines at popular attractions.
First is Genie+, which for $15 per guest per day at Walt Disney World and $20 per guest per day at Disneyland, will give guests access to the Lightening Lanes. Over 40 attractions are included at Walt Disney World and 15 at Disneyland.
You will be able to purchase Disney Genie+ in advance of your vacation, however you will make your first attraction selection until 7AM on the day of your visit. Once you use your first selection, you’ll then be able to select one after the other throughout the day — keeping in mind you are only allowed one selection at a time.
In addition to Disney Genie+, Disney Genie will feature Individual Attraction Selections that allow guests to pay for access to new Lightning Lanes at popular attractions that are not included on Genie+. All guests will have the option to purchases these selections when the theme park opens, however only Walt Disney World Resort guests will be able to purchase them early at 7am. Allowing Walt Disney World Resort guests the perk of first selection, and the most return times for popular attractions.
Popular attractions like Seven Dwarves Mine Train, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure (when it opens) and Rise of the Resistance will be included in the Individual Attraction Selections, however you can only select 2 attractions per day for this additional, optional feature.
This is huge news and something many Disney fans have been waiting for - as more is announced I’ll continue to update this post so you have the latest and greatest!
