Genie is Here!

October 8, 2021

We now have details on the upcoming GENIE program for your Disney World vacations! 
Starting Tuesday, October 19th, you will be able to use GENIE+  to forgo lines and drastically reduce wait times at many of your favorite attractions!  

There will be 2 ways to purchase and book arrival times for the new Lightning Lane entrances (formerly the FastPass lines) and each option will give a different set of experiences to choose from!

There are two categories of attractions when it comes to Lightning Lane… 

GENIE+

You can select arrival windows for Lightning Lane entrances available at dozens of attractions throughout the four theme parks, one at a time, all throughout the day.   GENIE+ will be available for $15 per guest, per day.

 You can purchase as an add-on – contact your favorite Upon a Star travel planner to get this added to WDW package, for the duration of your trip. info@uponastartravel.com

 You can also add-on for single day use for existing ticket holders or Annual Passholders. You’ll purchase through your My Disney Experience app.  Once purchased, you can book the next available time slot for your first attraction beginning at 7a for the day of your visit.  Then, after you’ve used your selection (or the arrival window has passed), you can make another attraction. Keep going, one at a time, all the way until park closings! 

 INDIVIDUAL LIGHTNING LANE SELECTIONS:

For some of the most in-demand attractions, you can purchase Lightning Lane entry separately from Genie+ (you don’t even have to have Genie+ for the Individual Selections!). With this option, you can choose up to 2 attractions per day, per guest (booked one at at time).

You’ll purchase these experiences in the My Disney Experience app on the same day of your visit – guests at Disney Resort Hotels (and other select hotels) can make their first purchase starting at 7am on the day of your visit). All other guests can make their first purchase when the park opens. 

Prices will vary by date, attraction, and park – on Launch Day on October 19th, Lightning Lane entrance to the brand new Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will be $9 per person, but $11 per person on October 23rd .  However, on both dates, Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom will be $7 per person, and Rise of the Resistance in Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge (in Hollywood Studios) will be $15 per person.  Prices will be lower or higher based on the season, so it’s important to check prices each day. 

Remember… you are not required to purchase Genie+ or Individual LL Selections to experience most attractions (a select few may be available only through virtual queue or individual purchase)

And as a reminder, attractions available through Genie+ are not available as an Individual Lightning Lane Selection purchase, nor are Individual Lightning Lane Selection attractions available in Genie+.  For example, to experience Jungle Cruise, you may choose the stand-by line or purchase and utilize Genie+.  However, if you want Seven Dwarfs Mine train, you may choose the stand-by line or purchase it as an Individual Selection attraction, but you would not be able to get a Lightning Lane arrival window in Genie+
