Fastpass+ to be Replaced with Paid Genie+ Service this Fall

Disney Parks Blog just released new information about the new Genie service coming to the Disney World and Disneyland apps this fall. Included in the information was the news that FastPass+ is retiring.

From the Disney Parks Blog post:

Disney Genie+ service (available for purchase): For the price of $15 per ticket per day at Walt Disney World Resort and $20 per ticket per day at Disneyland Resort, choose the next available time to arrive at a variety of attractions and experiences using the Lightning Lane entrance. You can make one selection at a time, throughout the day – from classics like Haunted Mansion to thrill rides like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and newer favorites like Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run (attractions subject to limited availability). This convenient option is the next evolution of the fan-favorite Disney MaxPass service from Disneyland Resort. Disney Genie+ will also include Disney parks-themed audio experiences and photo features to capture your memories – augmented reality lenses for those visiting Walt Disney World Resort and unlimited Disney PhotoPass downloads from your day if you are visiting Disneyland Resort.

Individual attraction selections (available for purchase): Schedule a time to arrive at up to two highly demanded attractions each day using the Lightning Lane entrance – like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom Park and Radiator Springs Racers at Disney California Adventure park (subject to limited availability; attractions not included with Disney Genie+). Pricing for this option will vary by date, attraction and park and will be announced closer to launch.

So there are two types of pass, the Disney Genie+, which allows for all day return time selections of select rides, or the Individual Attraction Selections, which allows you to pay to schedule a time for up to two highly demanded attractions a day using the Lightening Lane entrance.

Lightening Lane is what the new FastPass line is going to be called, so be looking for signage to change around the parks.

The Disney Genie service will have free features integrated into the Disney World and Disneyland apps as well to help you better plan your trip.

What do you think about Disney retiring FastPass+?
