WATCH OUT for Major Genie+ CHANGES Coming to Disney World Soon

By Leave a Comment

UPDATE: Disney has announced some Genie+ changes. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Frozen Ever After, Space Mountain, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, and Expedition Everest will REMAIN on the standard Genie+ service and will not be switching back to the pay-per-ride (Individual Attraction Selection) option. Click here to read our full post about the updates.

The story of Genie+ and Lighting Lanes in Disney World is a long and twisting one.

Splash Mountain Lightning Lane

Genie+ and Lightning Lanes are the paid replacement to FastPass+. There are two tiers to Lightning Lanes. There are the rides whose Lightning Lanes are available with the regular purchase of Genie+ for $15 per person per day, and then there are the Individual Lightning Lanes, or pay-per-ride attractions. Those pay-per-ride attractions are usually the most popular rides in each park, and guests must pay extra to skip the line at these attractions. (They’re not included in Genie+.) These individual purchases vary in cost from ride to ride, as well as by the time of year. A few months ago, Disney made changes to which rides were available as Individual Lightning Lane selections, and soon those changes will be coming to an end.
