Navigating Walt Disney World's New Lightning Lane System
Planning a visit to Walt Disney World just got more magical with the introduction of Lightning Lane Multipass and Lightning Lane Single Pass, set to debut on July 24, 2024. Set to replace the previous Genie+ here’s everything you need to know to make the most of these changes:
Advance Purchase: Guests staying on-property can purchase up to 7 days in advance for their entire stay, while off-property guests can purchase up to 3 days in advance, one day at a time.
Booking Process: Using the My Disney Experience app, guests can book their Lightning Lane Multipass reservations starting at 7am EST.
In-Park Use: Once you’ve redeemed your first Lightning Lane Multipass reservation, you can immediately book another. You can hold up to 3 Lightning Lane Multipass reservations at any time.
Park Hopping: Guests with a Park Hopper ticket can use Lightning Lane Multipass at multiple parks in the same day, but advance selections must be made for attractions in the same park.
Attraction Groups: Attractions at Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Epcot are divided into two groups for advance selections; Animal Kingdom does not have groups. For advanced selections, guests can choose one attraction from Group 1 and two attractions from Group 2.
Cost: Prices for Lightning Lane Multipass vary by date and can be managed through the My Disney Experience app
Lightning Lane Single Pass (formerly Individual Lightning Lane)
Advance Purchase: Guests can purchase Lightning Lane Single Pass up to 7 days in advance for their entire stay if staying on-property. Off-property guests can purchase up to 3 days in advance, one day at a time.
Booking Window: Reservations can be made starting at 7am EST via the My Disney Experience app.
Daily Limit: Guests can purchase up to 2 Lightning Lane Single Passes per day, whether in advance or in the park. However, they can be purchased for any Walt Disney World theme park when a guest has a valid Park Hopper ticket.
Cost: Prices vary based on attraction and date; manage purchases through the My Disney Experience app.
Keep in mind:
These changes will officially take effect on July 24, 2024.
As part of these changes, character meet and greets and parades will no longer be available as Lightning Lane options.
Guests using Lightning Lane Multipass cannot select the same attraction more than once during their visit.
Lightening Lane passes are non-refundable and non-transferable
