A LOT is changing in Disney World, and no, we’re not even talking about everything that changed at EPCOT, the Magic Kingdom expansion, or the DinoLand re-theme in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Lightning Lane at Peter Pan’s Flight
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. With the name change also comes a lot of other changes, and if you’re confused, well, it’s okay, because it is A LOT. 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!

Things are CHANGING fast with Lightning Lanes.
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. Not only will the program’s name change — with terminology changing from Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane to Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass respectively — but the entire structure of how and when attractions are booked is different.Â
Disney recently revealed some HUGE changes coming soon to Genie+, and we’re breaking down what that might mean for your next Disney World trip.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
First up, the name “Genie+” will be going away to be replaced by Lightning Lane Multi-Pass (insert Fifth Element movie reference here…), while the Individual Lightning Lane option will be renamed Lightning Lane Single Pass. Honestly, these names make SO much more sense. But there will be other changes, too. So how will all these changes affect your trip if your priority is getting a ride on Magic Kingdom’s newest attraction, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure?
We recently got some pretty merry announcements from Disney World, including information about Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Disney Jollywood Nights, and the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. It may only be June, but we are already getting ready for the holidays!
Fireworks at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
In addition to dates and prices, we also got confirmation that a popular dining option will be returning to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom!
