The Disney Genie is officially going to begin on October 19, 2021. New details have also been released for the new service coming soon.
On Friday afternoon, it was revealed that the Disney Genie Service would officially begin on October 19, 2021.
For a flat fee of $15 per person per day, guests will be able to purchase Genie+. This will allow guests to have access to use the Lightning Lanes for more than 40 attractions across the four WDW parks. There is no limit to how many times guests book spots for these attractions, but it is only one time per attraction per day.
When using Lightning Lane on Disney+, guests must redeem their current reservation before booking another, or wait 120 minutes from the time of initial booking.
For the higher-demand attractions (two at each park at launch), guests can pay an additional fee to purchase a Lighting Lane spot for it. Guests can purchase a grand total of two individual Lightning Lane attraction spots per day.

Please remember that Disney Genie is a complimentary service. Disney Genie+ is available to guests at an additional cost.
Per Disney:
Available for all of our guests right in the My Disney Experience app, the complimentary Disney Genie service offers new features that let you create your best Disney day. These features include a personalized itinerary creator that effortlessly and smartly maps out an entire day inspired by the things you tell us you love – helping you make the most of your park time so you can have more fun.
Similar to a navigation app on your phone, Disney Genie continues to update your itinerary from morning to night as the day changes, so you can stay spontaneous and go with the flow – whether you need a nap, encounter an unexpected rain shower or want to take a detour for a Mickey ice cream bar.
Many of you have asked about how this cool new technology works. Behind the scenes, the app is capable of magically evaluating thousands of possible itineraries in seconds – so you don’t even have to think about it! Disney Genie puts guests at the center of the experience by prioritizing ways to:
- Reduce time in lines while keeping in mind your top picks
- Pace your day with experiences you’ll enjoy – and haven’t already done yet
- Build around your existing plans like dining reservations and Park Hopper preferences
Disney Genie uses our 50+ years of knowledge and expertise in how guests visit our parks to make the experience better for everyone.
With this launch, we’ll also be introducing the Lightning Lane entrance. Available for purchase through our Disney Genie+ add-on at more than 40 attractions – or individually, “à la carte” at some of our most highly demanded attractions – the Lightning Lane entrance can save you time waiting in line. Click here for a first look at the list of current attractions with Lightning Lane entrances and info on pricing.
As a reminder, attractions continue to offer a traditional standby queue or from time to time, a virtual queue may instead be used at select attractions, like right now at Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.
Make sure to get in touch with My Mickey Vacation Travel so they can give you even more details and take all the stress out of planning to create the magic for you.
