When Disney reopened after the pandemic, fast pass became a thing of the past. Last Fall, Disney debuted a new service to navigate the parks with ease. Disney Genie (which debuted first at Walt Disney World but is now offered at Disneyland as well) was designed to help park goers streamline their experience and make the most out of their visit. If you’re new to navigating the parks, or even a pro then navigating Disney Genie may seem a little overwhelming. I’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions (from my Black Disney Moms group) to help better understand Disney’s new system.

What are Disney Genie, Genie+, & Lightning Lane?

  • Disney Genie – a complimentary service that creates your best Disney day inspired by your party’s top interests. It also grants you new planning features, including a personalized itinerary creator that seamlessly and smartly maps out your visit with updates that continue from morning to night. And, Disney Genie can even remind you when you’re eligible to make dining and activity reservations in advance
  • Genie+ –  Offered at more than 40 attractions and experiences throughout Walt Disney World theme parks, Genie+ lets you select the next available arrival window for Disney Genie+ Lightning Lane experiences! You may make one selection at a time, starting at 7:00 AM on the day of your visit (experiences are subject to limited availability). $15 plus tax (USD) per ticket per day.
  • Lightning Lane – For some of our most highly demanded attractions, Lightning Lane entrance access is available to purchase individually. Guests may purchase and select an arrival window one at a time for up to 2 attractions a day. This option is available for all Guests—with or without Disney Genie+ service.

Is Genie+ service “worth it”?

Genie+ and Lightning Lane essentially replaced the previous FastPass service at Walt Disney World and Disneyland resorts. Right now with Walt Disney World celebrating their 50th anniversary, the parks (while of course varies) have been busy. Genie+ gives you the ability to schedule rides (one at a time) which could reduce your time standing in line for some of the more popular attractions. On busy park days, Genie+ is absolutely worth the extra $15. During off peak times, or when the parks are at low capacity, you may be able to swing planning your day with the complimentary Genie service provided to all ticket holders.

My sweet babies. From big feelings to small moment My sweet babies.
From big feelings to small moments they are literally learning how to be adults by watching us. They deserve a childhood they don’t have to heal from so that they can grow to be the best adult versions of themselves.
& that’s on.. breaking generational curses.
