Walt Disney World has added a new statement to its webpage about Disney Genie+ estimating how often guests will be able to take advantage of the upcharge service each day.
The new addition says, “On average, guests can enter 2 to 3 attractions or experiences per day using the Lightning Lane entrance if the first selection is made early in the day.” Currently, no limits have been placed on how many standard Lightning Lane reservations can be booked in a day, though individual Lightning Lanes purchases for select high-demand attractions are restricted to two per guest per day. Guests can purchase the service and begin making reservations beginning at 7 AM on the day of their visit, while additional time slots can be booked once the first one is used or expires, or two hours after park opening or when the first reservations are made, whichever comes first.
While this is strictly an approximation, the numbers do seem low. When Disney Genie+ debuted last October, we were able to book at least four attractions in a day with overlapping time slots. The language used suggests that this is to help manage guests’ expectations, rather than being the first step towards establishing a hard cap on how many Lightning Lane reservations can be booked in a day. As of the writing of this article, the estimate has not been added to the corresponding page for Disney Genie+ at the Disneyland Resort.
For comparison, the previous FastPass+ program (which was free to all guests) gave each guest three FastPasses per day with the opportunity to add more once the original three were used.
