Exciting News! Today, Disney announced that starting July 24th, they will change the way Genie+ and Lightning Lane work at Walt Disney World!
Genie+ will be replaced with Lightning Lane Multi Pass. This pass allows you to make up to 3 Lightning Lane selections in a theme park before your visit. Once you've used one, you can check the app for additional selections on your day at the park!
Lightning Lane Single Pass will work very similarly to how it does today, where you can purchase a single Lightning Lane for high-demand rides.
