Disney Genie+, Lightning Lane and Individual Attraction Selection Info

​more info including when it will launch, pricing and what attractions will be included and more:

What is Disney Genie+: Disney Genie+ is a new product being launched by Walt Disney World that will give guests access to shorter wait times at select attractions at the theme parks. This shorter line is now called Lightning Lane. It will also give guests access to new products such as Audio Tales that will give guests interesting facts and trivia about the parks and PhotoPass Lense that will give those with Disney Genie+ a photo filter that they can use while taking pictures in the parks!

How Much: DisneyGenie+ will cost $15 per ticket per day. You can add this for the length of your tickets.  For example, if you are a party of 2 adults and 1 child with 4 days of theme park tickets, to add DisneyGenie+ (and thus Lightning Lane access) it will cost $180 to add to your package or to your theme park ticket purchase. 

What Attractions are included with Disney Genie+: The attractions with Lightning Lane access included with Disney Genie+ are in purple and are as follows (see picture).

You may only use Lightning Lane to access these attractions once. Once you use your Lightning Lane pass, if you want to ride the attraction again, you will need to wait in the standby line. You can use Lightning Lane across multiple parks if you have Park Hopper tickets. Lightning Lane is subject to availability. 

Individual Attraction Selections: These Individual Attraction Selections (IAS) are not included with the Disney Genie+ service (the ones in blue). These popular attractions will be available to guests for an additional fee the day of their park visit. You do not have to purchase Disney Genie+ to access these attractions.  The price for each of the Individual Attraction Selection (IAS) will vary depending on the day, the attraction and the park.  I was told it would be a range of an additional $7-15 per attraction per person that will be paid at time of booking these attractions. Guests are limited to two IAS attractions per day. You can not add this feature to your package or tickets in advance and payment will be due on the day you add it to your plans.  Individual Attraction Selections are subject to availability. 

When Can I Add This to My Tickets: Disney Genie+, the ability to purchase Lightning Lane access, will start October 19th. We will be able to add this for your length of ticket. If you've already paid in full for your vacation, we can add it without penalty to your reservation.
​
When Can I Make My Lightning Lane and Individual Attraction Selections: By staying at a Walt Disney World Resort, at 7:00AM EST you'll be able to make your first Lightning Lane selection and/or Individual Attraction Selection for that day. You will need valid theme park tickets and a park reservation to make your selections. It has not been confirmed if I will be able to do this for you or if you need to be connected to the Disney Resort Guests Wifi to make these purchases. I will update you as soon as I find out. Guests of non-Disney Resorts will make their selections when the park opens for the day. 

Don't Want to Pay for Disney Genie+ or Individual Attraction Selections: All guests will have access to Disney Genie (no plus). This complimentary service will be available to all guests. You will tell the app what you're top interests are for the day and it will give you a suggested itinerary to follow; it will also give guests forecasted wait times for attractions, entertainment and dining; you'll also be able to order food; make day of dining reservations (subject to day-of availability which will be limited); and join virtual queues.  

If you have any questions about this new service, please let me know. An agent at Simply Perfect Vacations will be trying this new Disney Genie+ service the day it start on October 19th so we will have a full report then!

If you've already paid in full, payment for Disney Genie+ will be due in full at time of adding. If your final payment date has not arrived yet, you will not owe anything at time of adding.
