Disney Genie and Lightning Lane Pricing, Attraction list, and more Details Revealed

Last Updated on June 26, 2023

Available for all of our guests right in the My Disney Experience app, the complimentary Disney Genie service offers new features that let you create your best Disney day. These features include a personalized itinerary creator that effortlessly and smartly maps out an entire day inspired by the things you tell us you love – helping you make the most of your park time so you can have more fun.

Disney has just released the launch dates and attraction list for the new Disney Genie + and Lightning Lane paid service that is taking over FastPass+.

How It Works

In case you have forgotten, here’s how it works.

There are 3 new options available within the one selection, all within the My Disney Experience App. Don’t worry, they have different names. Sorta.

Disney Genie is the planning assistance app that will help guests make their touring plans, select which restaurants to visit, and make all kinds of other customized suggestions based on the information provided.

Disney Genie + is the paid service, $15/day/ticket holder (because children under 3 are guests but not ticket holders) will allow guests to book same-day reservations for top attractions, one at a time, as well as Photopass add ons.

Once you have Disney Genie+ service, you can book the next available arrival window for your first experience via the My Disney Experience app beginning at 7:00 AM on the day of your visit. Once you’ve redeemed your initial selection (or the arrival window has passed), you can make another selection using the app, up to park closing.

Disney has made it very clear that there are no refunds on purchases of Disney Genie + and the system will never be sold out, however, there is a limit of how many reservations can be made on any single ride so this means guests could potentially be buying service for rides that they have zero intention of using them on.

Lightning Lane. Since not all rides are made equally, there are a handful of top-tier rides that just aren’t included in the Disney Genie + system. This will require a separate purchase, though one is not dependant on the other. Guests are welcome to purchase LIghtening Lane without Disney Genie +.

Lightning Lane is an a-la-carte style reservation system in that guests will be asked to pay per ride, not for a selection of rides. And they can only pay for two rides via Lightning Lane per day, and never the same ride twice.

Which attractions and experiences will be available for an individual Lightning Lane purchase?

There will be a limited number of attractions available for an individual Lightning Lane purchase. Here’s a breakdown for each park:

Magic Kingdom

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
Space Mountain

EPCOT

Frozen Ever After
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park

Avatar Flight of Passage
Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain

What is the pricing for individual, “á la carte” Lightning Lane selections?

Prices will vary by date, attraction, and park.

Disney has given us a prime example of this fluctuation; the Lightning Lane entrance to Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will be $9 per person on October 19 and $11 per person on October 23. As another example, on both those dates, Lightning Lane entrance to Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain will be $7 per person, while Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will be $15 per person.

Throughout the year, prices may be lower on some days and higher on other days. This option may be purchased at up to 2 different attractions each day.

Simply put, budget for $7 to $15 per person per ride, per ticket holder.
