Disney World is making some exciting changes for guests from Canada, as Lightning Lane passes will soon be available for advanced purchase. This revamp of the Genie+ system aims to provide a more convenient and seamless experience, bringing it closer to the beloved FastPass+ system that many Disney fans fondly remember. Initially, the news about the update to the Genie+ System indicated advanced purchase of Lightning Lane passes would only be available for U.S. based guests, however this policy has since been updated to also included guests booking from Canada.

The new system allows guests to purchase Lightning Lane Multi Passes or Single Passes in advance, ensuring access to some of the most popular attractions without the long waits. This change is set to enhance the overall park experience, and results from guest feedback about the usability of the Genie+ system. Somewhat ironically, the rollout of Genie+ as a same-day purchase resulted from guest feedback from the FastPass+ system which pointed towards a desire by guests to not plan all aspects of a Disney vacation in advance and a preference for the previous Disneyland Max Pass system.

It’s important to note that this advanced purchase option is currently exclusive to guests based in the U.S. and Canada. Other international visitors will still need to wait until they arrive in the U.S. to buy their Lightning Lane passes. We do not have official news as to why the advanced purchase of Lightning Lane passes is limited to the U.S. and Canada, however international sales and banking can be quite complicated so this may be a temporary restriction while Disney navigates the complexities of adding sales options for international guests.
