food IS a theme park
Today’s a big day in Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
Genie+ is officially GONE in Disney World, and Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass have taken its place. This new system is quite similar to FastPass+, with a few key differences. We just experienced the new system ourselves, and it’s time to break it ALL down.
Take a deep breath, everyone — another MAJOR change has hit Disney World. Don’t worry though — we’re here covering it all for you!
Hollywood Studios
Not only has the name of Genie+ changed to Lightning Lane Multi Pass (and Individual Lightning Lanes are now Lightning Lane Single Pass), but it’s also completely changing how you do Disney World. Now you’ll be able to PRE-BOOK your Lightning Lanes! But wait — how much does this new(ish) service cost? We’re here to tell you ALL about it.
Huge Lightning Lane changes coming to Disney World TOMORROW!
CHANGES are coming JULY 24TH!
We’ve answered your BIGGEST questions about the updates, including news that a new, tiered system would be introduced for attractions, but now we’re going over everything you need to know ahead of these major changes. What’s changed? What has stayed the same? We’ve got you covered here at DFB!
Are you ready for a big change to hit the Disney Parks?

Since Disney Genie+ debuted several years ago, it has had its fair share of highs and lows. The skip-the-line service at both the Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort has finally reached a place of normalcy where navigating the system isn’t as difficult as it once was — so it only makes sense that Disney is changing the system (and name) altogether next week. These changes could be good, however, and we’re going to get into what those differences will look like and everything you need to know for the big switch!
In case you missed it, some MASSIVE changes are coming to Disney World!

I know it feels like yesterday, but Genie+ was introduced back in 2021, and just recently Disney announced that they’re doing away with it. They’re replacing that system with a new one — Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass. While you’re still learning the ins and outs, let’s talk about which rides you should book first with it!
When Disney announces big news, we hear it all. People tell us they’re thrilled. People tell us they’re furious. People tell us they’re booking a trip ASAP. Others say they’ll never go to Disney World again. From new rides like Tiana’s Bayou Adventure to holiday events like Jollywood Nights, it’s safe to say people have some strong opinions about what’s happening in Disney World.

But recently, Disney dropped some BIG news about the future of Genie+. For one thing, it’s getting a NEW name. The service will be called Lightning Lane Multi Pass (formerly Genie+) and Lightning Lane Single Pass (formerly Individual Lightning Lane). The Multi Pass will be like a combination of Genie+ and FastPass+ (Remember that? This was the FREE version), allowing people to preplan their Lightning Lane reservations before stepping foot in Disney World.
Buckle up, y’all. It’s about to get COMPLICATED.
Disney Genie
But don’t worry, we’re doing our best to break it down. Disney Genie+ is the new-ish way to skip the standby lines in Disney World, and it has been quite a hot topic since it first debuted in the parks. Some guests rave about it, while others think it’s a waste of money. The service has gone through a few updates, and it looks like it has just changed AGAIN. Let’s take a look at the NEW Disney Genie+ changes and how they will impact your next visit.
