New Lightning Lane changes are coming
We’ve done our best to answer your BIGGEST questions about the updates and later found out that a new, tiered system would be introduced for attractions.

Nope, we’re talking about Genie+, which will soon STOP being Genie+ and instead be called Lightning Lane Multi-Pass, with Individual Lightning Lane becoming Lightning Lane Single Pass.

But we’re going to give you a complete guide about the new service so that you’ll be a pro when it begins on July 24th.
Happy 626 Day, otherwise known as 6/26! If there’s one thing we love, it’s a fun Disney holiday, and Disney came prepared to celebrate this year. Before we talk about all the fun limited-time treats available now, we should probably stop by and say hi to Stitch. Everybody say “HIIII STITCH.”
Hey Stitch!
Great. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s talk treats. In honor of 626 Day, Disney released some special treats inspired by Stitch! Wanna see what we tried? Spoiler alert: there was a lot of BLUE involved. Let’s go!

Magic Kingdom
Disney shocked the theme park world on June 25th by announcing a massive overhaul to their Genie+ skip-the-line system, which will go into effect on July 24th.
