Disney’s new Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass have replaced Disney Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane Purchases!!!

This is at both Walt Disney World and the Disneyland Resort.

Disney has also announced the Disney Lightning Premier Pass, a costly, all-inclusive version. See my post on this new offering: Disney Lightning Premier Pass Pilot Program.

Disney’s new Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass will be implemented differently at Walt Disney World and at the Disneyland Resort.

Disney’s new Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass will replace Disney’s current paid Genie+ services and at Walt Disney World adding in some of the features of the old FastPass+ system. The complimentary features of Disney Genie service will continue to be available in the My Disney Experience and Disneyland apps. At the Disneyland Resort, the system will remain exactly the same and only the names will change.

At Disney World, the biggest changes are for the Multi Pass which replaces Genie+, while the Single Pass which replaces Individual Lightning Lane Purchases is essentially the same.

At Disneyland Genie+ will now be called Multi Pass and Individual Lightning Lane Purchases will be called Single Pass.

Pricing for Lightning Lane Passes (Single or Multi) varies by date and theme park or attraction, and purchase is subject to limited availability. Prices will be displayed in the Disney theme park apps.

Here’s how Lightning Lane passes will work beginning July 24 2024.

At Walt Disney World

The changes will allow you to:

Make Lightning Lane plans before your trip, for added confidence
Choose your experiences and times prior to purchasing, so that you know what you’re getting
Book Lightning Lane passes for multiple vacation days, all in a single day

Lightning Lane Multi Pass

When you purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass, you may make up to 3 Lightning Lane selections in a theme park, in advance of your visit. You’ll be able to choose available times as you make your selections. You must make all 3 advance selections in the same theme park.

On the day of your park visit, once you redeem a Lightning Lane Multi Pass selection (or once the arrival window has passed), you can use the My Disney Experience app to check availability for another Lightning Lane Multi Pass experience—and add to your plans.

You can then make one at a time until regular park closing (subject to availability). You will have 3 passes at a time continuously. One you use one you may make another.

If your park admission includes Park Hopper benefits, you can even choose a Lightning Lane Multi Pass experience in a different theme park after using the first one of the day.

Multi Pass prices vary for each product vary by both park and day.

Lightning Lane Single Pass

With Lightning Lane Single Pass you can secure a time to ride one of the most highly demanded attractions, but you’ll now be able to make your purchase and plan in advance.

General

Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel and other select 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.

Single Pass prices vary by attraction and day.

When to Purchase

Here’s when you can purchase a Lightning Lane Multi Pass and/or Lightning Lane Single Pass—and choose experiences and arrival windows:

7 Days in Advance for Eligible Resort Hotel Guests – When staying at Disney Resort hotels or other select hotels, Guests can purchase Lightning Lane passes—and choose experiences and arrival windows—starting 7 days before the first day of their Resort stay, for their length of stay (up to 14 days).

This early-planning benefit is available to registered Guests staying at:

3 Days in Advance for All Other Guests – When not staying at a Disney Resort hotel or other select hotels, guests can purchase Lightning Lane passes—and choose experiences and arrival windows—3 days in advance. See additional details below, which vary based on admission type:

Guests with date-based theme park tickets (which require the Guest to choose a start date at the time of purchase) can purchase 3 days before the first day of their ticket, for the total number of valid admission days on their ticket.
Guests with other ticket types can purchase 3 days before their park visit. This includes all Military Ticket Types!
Annual Passholders can purchase 3 days before their park visit.

The purchase window opens at 7 a.m. eastern.

How to Purchase

Important Note for Military Tickets – Both types of Disney World Military Tickets (Salute & Regular) are what Disney calls Non-Date Based Tickets, meaning that once purchased they can be used on any day prior to their expiration date (excluding any Blockout Dates). in comparison, general public date based tickets are purchased for a specific set of dates. Non-Date Based tickets still require Theme Park Reservations to enter a park (though there is a rumor the not for much longer). In order to make Lightning Lane Reservations you need to have made Theme Park Reservations.
