Disney Announces Lighting Lane to Replace FastPass+

It’s official, Disney has announced the retirement of the fan favorite FastPass. Rumors have been swirling around for several months about if FastPass will return, how it will be changed, or even if it will come back at all. Once Disneyland Paris debuted Premier Access, (a paid service to gain access to shorter lines) to me, it seemed like a matter of time until the Disney Theme Parks Stateside would follow their lead and roll out with a paid FastPass type service.
Disney announced their new Disney Genie+ Service. For even more convenience and flexibility, there are two other options for enjoying the Disney theme parks, through a queue they are introducing called the "Lightning Lane" entrance that also saves you time in line:
​
  • Disney Genie+ service (available for purchase): For the price of $15 per ticket per day at Walt Disney World Resort and $20 per ticket per day at Disneyland Resort, you can choose the next available time to arrive at a variety of attractions and experiences using the Lightning Lane entrance. You can make one selection at a time, throughout the day – from classics like Haunted Mansion to thrill rides like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and newer favorites like Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run (attractions subject to limited  availability). This convenient option is the next evolution of the fan-favorite Disney MaxPass service from Disneyland Resort. Disney Genie+ will also include Disney parks-themed audio experiences and photo  features to capture your memories – augmented reality lenses for those  visiting Walt Disney World Resort and unlimited Disney PhotoPass  downloads from your day if you are visiting Disneyland Resort.


  • Individual attraction selections (available for purchase): You can schedule a time to arrive at up to two highly demanded attractions  each day using the Lightning Lane entrance – like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom Park and Radiator Springs Racers at Disney California Adventure Park (subject to limited availability; attractions  not included with Disney Genie+). Pricing will vary by date, attraction and park. 

Lightning Lane selections will be made on the same day of your visit and can be used across multiple theme parks. Which is great if you decided to add on the Park Hopper option to your tickets. Attractions will continue to offer a traditional standby queue, or a virtual queue at certain attractions like Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance – to maximize flexibility.

While the FASTPASS, FastPass+ and Disney MaxPass services will be retired, I’m excited about the flexibility and choices Disney Genie service provides. You can choose from all of the new options, a mix of them or none at all, and continue to have a great experience!

I realize this is a lot of new information. As your trusted travel advisor, I am here to help guide you through these changes. You can contact me at anytime with any Disney planning questions you may have!​
