New Lightning Lane Options Coming to Walt Disney World

Get ready for a more seamless and enjoyable planning experience for your Walt Disney World vacation!

We’ve heard your feedback, and this summer we’re making some exciting changes to our Disney Genie+ and individual Lightning Lane services, making it easier to plan ahead and make the most of your park days.

Here’s what’s new:

Clearer Names:

Disney Genie+ service is becoming Lightning Lane Multi Pass ⚡️
Individual Lightning Lane is now Lightning Lane Single Pass ⚡

Enhanced Planning Options:

Plan your Lightning Lane selections before you even arrive!
Choose your experiences and times in advance, so you know exactly what you’re getting.
Book Lightning Lane passes for multiple vacation days in one go, saving you time and effort.

These changes are designed to give you more control, flexibility, and confidence in your planning, so you can focus on the fun and create unforgettable memories at Walt Disney World.

Here’s how Lightning Lane passes will work beginning July 24.

Lightning Lane Multi Pass 

When you purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass, you may make up to 3 Lightning Lane selections in a theme park, in advance of your visit. You’ll also be able to choose available times as you make your selections.

On the day of your visit, once you use a selection, check the My Disney Experience app for availability to make an additional selection.

Lightning Lane Single Pass 

Lightning Lane Single Pass will work much like it does today, where you can secure a time to ride one of our most highly demanded attractions, but you’ll now be able to make your purchase and plan in advance.  

How to Plan Ahead

Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel and other select hotels will be able to plan Lightning Lane passes up to 7 days in advance, for their entire stay (up to 14 days). All other guests can plan up to 3 days in advance.

These advance purchase windows will let guests secure some of their must-do rides and experiences after they’ve had some time to decide what dining reservations they want to book and any other plans they may need to consider.

Guests may purchase a Lightning Lane Multi Pass, a Lightning Lane Single Pass or both. The app will also be updated to make it quicker and easier to purchase and plan, with fewer steps and a new option to purchase Lightning Lane Single Pass and Lightning Lane Multi Pass in one transaction.

Lightning Lane passes will blend features from our current services and the previously offered FastPass+ service, giving guests the choice to plan ahead and removing the hassle of planning during their vacation.

To dive into even more details, visit the Disney World website for the latest information on how to purchase, select and use your Lightning Lane passes.

Disneyland Resort will also use the new Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single pass names beginning July 24. Based on the different ways we know guests visit Disneyland Resort, the way guests purchase, select and redeem Lightning Lane passes at Disneyland Resort will remain the same. 

The complimentary features of Disney Genie service will continue to be available in the My Disney Experience and Disneyland apps. As you may have noticed, both apps have also gotten a series of upgrades over the last year to make features easier to use, including making dining reservations, mobile food ordering, and more.

Stay tuned for more updates on these exciting enhancements, coming July 24th!

New-Mickey-Mint-Cookie-Sandwich-has-arrived-at-Magic-Kingdom-1

Magic Kingdom has unveiled a delightful new treat that’s quickly becoming a must-try for visitors: the Mickey Chocolate Mint Sandwich Cookie. This inventive creation pairs mint chocolate chip buttercream icing with two Mickey-shaped chocolate cookies, mimicking the iconic Mickey Ice Cream Sandwich. Unlike its frozen counterpart, this cookie is served chilled but not frozen, offering a refreshing twist that’s perfect for cooling down on a warm day at the park.

New-Mickey-Mint-Cookie-Sandwich-has-arrived-at-Magic-Kingdom-2

The cookie does a nice job balancing flavors, with the mint providing a vibrant yet not overpowering kick that complements the chocolate cookies. The chocoloate flavor from the cookies is not overly present, however, which may leave chocolate lovers wanting more.

New-Mickey-Mint-Cookie-Sandwich-has-arrived-at-Magic-Kingdom-3

Due to its popularity, these cookies tend to sell out early, so plan to grab one sooner rather than later during your visit to ensure you don’t miss out on this tasty treat. Whether you’re starting your day with a sweet note or enjoying a midday snack, the Mickey Chocolate Mint Sandwich Cookie is a delightful addition to your next Magic Kingdom trip.
