Walt Disney Announces Genie+ Launch Date Along with Lightning Lane and Individual Lightning Lane Details

Walt Disney World announced today that Disney Genie, Genie+, and Lightning Lane will launch at Walt Disney World on October 19th.

As a reminder, Disney Genie is a new digital service which is part of the My Disney Experience app that is designed to plan your day at the Walt Disney World theme parks, including a personalized itinerary that maps out the entire day based on your preferences. There is no cost to use Disney Genie.

Disney Genie+ is an option within the Disney Genie service that makes the former FastPass line available at select attractions, now called Lightning Lane. The introductory pricing for this option will be $15 per ticket per day. Certain headline attractions are not part of Genie+, and Lightning Lane access at those attractions will require an Individual Attraction purchase.

The pricing for Individual Attraction purchases will vary by date, attraction and park. For example, the Lightning Lane entrance to Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will be $9 per person on October 19 and $11 per person on October 23. As another example, on both those dates, Lightning Lane entrance to Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain will be $7 per person, while Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will be $15 per person. Throughout the year, prices will vary by days. This option may be purchased at up to 2 different attractions each day.

As part of the announcement Disney has provided the full listing of all the attractions that will offer Lighting Lane access at Walt Disney World.

Lightning Lane entrances will be available through two options.

Disney Genie+ Lightning Lane Selections – Guests can select arrival windows for Lightning Lane entrances that are available at more than 40 attractions and entertainment across all 4 theme parks, one at a time throughout the day for $15 per ticket per day.

Individual Lightning Lane Selections – Lightning Lane entry will be available for purchase individually. Guests may purchase and select an arrival window one at a time for up to 2 attractions a day. This option will be available for all Guests—with or without Disney Genie+ service.

My first trip to a a Disney park was to Disneyland as a child in 1970, but didn't make to Walt Disney World until I went with my wife and first child in 1990. A year doesn't go by with out at least one trip to either Disneyland or Walt Disney World. My wife and I are Disney Vacation Club members and also Charter Members of D23.
