New Lightning Lane Multi-Pass and Single Pass Allows Guests to Plan Ahead (Starting July 24)

Disney is introducing changes to the Disney Genie+ service, including a new name, beginning July 24, 2024. This new offering (the former Disney Genie+) will now be called Lightning Lane Multi-Pass. Individual Lighting Lanes will transition to a formal name of Lightning Lane Single Pass.

Updated: Since this announcement, we’ve created a One-Stop Guide To Answer All Your Lightning Lanes Questions.

This new service will allow guests to do the following:

• Make Lightning Lanes before your vacation.
• Choose experiences and times before making a purchase.
• Reserve Lightning Lane Passes for multiple vacation days ahead of time.

Disney has released the following announcement as to how both new services will work:

Lightning Lane Multi Pass 
When guests purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass, they may make up to 3 Lightning Lane selections in a theme park, in advance of your visit. They’ll also be able to choose available times as they make their selections. On the day of their visit, once they use a selection, they may check the My Disney Experience app for availability to make an additional selection.  

Lightning Lane Single Pass 

Lightning Lane Single Pass will work much like it does today, where guests can secure a time to ride one of our most highly demanded attractions, but they’ll now be able to make their purchase and plan in advance.       

How to Plan Ahead 
Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel and other select hotels (Shades of Green Resort, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels) will be able to plan Lightning Lane passes up to 7 days in advance, for their entire stay (up to 14 days). All other guests can plan up to 3 days in advance. These advance purchase windows will let guests secure some of their must-do rides and experiences after they’ve had some time to decide what dining reservations they want to book and any other plans they may need to consider.  

Guests may purchase a Lightning Lane Multi Pass, a Lightning Lane Single Pass or both. The app will also be updated to make it quicker and easier to purchase and plan, with fewer steps and a new option to purchase Lightning Lane Single Pass and Lightning Lane Multi Pass in one transaction.
