Starting July 24, 2024, Disney will change the ride reservation system again. The current Genie+ system has been around since 2021. After considering guest feedback, Disney has decided to make further changes to the system, which will go live on July 24, 2024, at 7:00 am Eastern Time. In addition, significant changes and restrictions to the DAS (Disability Access Service) system have already gone live. Disney meant to stop abuse of the DAS ride reservation system by individuals who did not have a Disability, which made waiting in line difficult or impossible. The first major change to the general ride reservation system is a change in terminology, which has been implemented to address guest confusion. The new terminology, Lightening Lane Single Pass & Lightning Lane Multi Pass, is designed to be more intuitive and user-friendly. Lightening Lane Single Pass, previously known as Individual Lightning Lane, is a single-ride reservation purchased for each individual with a return window. Lightning Lane Multi Pass, the new name for Genie+ Ride Reservations, is a pay-per-day addon allowing individuals to make multiple ride reservations
.
At Disneyland, the change is only to the terminology, as the system will continue to function the same. The Lightning Lane Single Pass is available to purchase after entering the park. Each guest can buy a total of two LLSPs per park day. LLSP is purchased for a single person and a single-ride return time reservation. Lightning Lane Multi Pass can be purchased in advance as an addon to your park tickets or as a single-day addon on the day you wish to have it. You can make your first LLMP selection after entering the park for the day. LLMP allows guests to make advanced multiple-ride reservations for the day with a single-day purchase. In addition to advanced ride reservations, LLMP includes Augmented Reality Disney PhotoPass® Lenses in the Disneyland® App and Disney PhotoPass® Downloads from the day of the visit.
At Walt Disney World, the changes to the system are not just a change in terminology. The Lightning Lane Single Pass allows a guest to purchase a single ride reservation up to a maximum of 2 per day. However, the LLSP can be purchased in advance of the park day, providing guests with the opportunity to plan ahead. Guests of eligible Disney Resorts can purchase their LLSP starting 7 days in advance of their resort check-in for the duration of their stay (up to 14 days), with the booking window opening at 7 am Eastern time. Eligible Resorts include Disney Resort hotels, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels, and Shades of Green® Resort. Guests staying off-site can start planning 3 days in advance of their first park day for the length of their park tickets. For Lightning Lane Multipass, guests can purchase the addon to make multiple advanced ride reservations. Guests can start planning by making ride selections for 3 rides per day (1 selection from Group 1 rides and 2 selections from Group 2 rides). Just like LLSP, Guests staying at qualifying resorts can start planning 7 days in advance of check-in for the duration of their stay up to 14 days out. Guests staying off-property can start planning up to 3 days before their first park day for the duration of their park ticket. Guests can pre-select 1 ride reservation from Group 1 Rides and 2 selections from Group 2 rides for a total of 3 ride reservations before entering a park. After using their first reservation at the park, guests can make an additional ride selection.
