Disney has announced significant changes to its Genie+ service at the Walt Disney World theme parks, which will take effect on July 24, 2024.
On July 24, Walt Disney World will introduce new, simpler names. Disney Genie+ service will become Lightning Lane Multi Pass, while individual Lightning Lane will now be known as Lightning Lane Single Pass. Lightning Lane passes will blend features from current services and the previously offered FastPass+ service, which Disney says will give "guests the choice to plan ahead and removing the hassle of planning during their vacation."
New Lightning Lane Pass features:
- Guests can make Lightning Lane plans ahead of arrival - 7 days in advance for resort guests, and 3 days in advance for non-resort guests.
- The ability to choose experiences and times prior to purchasing.
- Book Lightning Lane passes for multiple vacation days, all in a single day.
Here's how Lightning Lane passes will work beginning July 24, 2024.
Lightning Lane Multi Pass
When you purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass, you may make up to 3 Lightning Lane selections in a theme park, in advance of your visit. You'll also be able to choose available times as you make your selections.
On the day of your visit, once you use a selection, check the My Disney Experience app for availability to make an additional selection.
Lightning Lane Multi Pass will have 2 tiers of attractions at Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT. There are no tiers at Disney's Animal Kingdom. You can choose one selection from the first tier, and two selections from the second tier.

How to Plan Ahead Using Lightning Lane Pass
Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel and other select hotels will be able to plan Lightning Lane passes up to 7 days in advance, for their entire stay (up to 14 days). All other guests can plan up to 3 days in advance.
These advance purchase windows will let guests secure some of their must-do rides and experiences after they've had some time to decide what dining reservations they want to book and any other plans they may need to consider.
Guests may purchase a Lightning Lane Multi Pass, a Lightning Lane Single Pass or both. The app will also be updated to make it quicker and easier to purchase and plan, with fewer steps and a new option to purchase Lightning Lane Single Pass and Lightning Lane Multi Pass in one transaction.
Disneyland Resort will also use the new Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single pass names beginning July 24. Based on the different ways guests visit Disneyland Resort, the way guests purchase, select and redeem Lightning Lane passes at Disneyland Resort will remain the same.
Disney says that the complimentary features of Disney Genie service will continue to be available in the My Disney Experience and Disneyland apps.
