Disney Genie+ and Lightning Lanes are about to change, but how will that affect separately ticketed events?

Genie+ and Lightning Lanes are about to change at the Disney Parks beginning July 24th, as Genie+ becomes Lightning Lane Multi Pass and individual Lightning Lanes become Lightning Lane Single Pass. These new skip-the-line systems deviate a bitt from the previous installation with advanced reservations and tier systems, but the objective is still the same. With that said, will you be able to use the new Lightning Lane Multi Pass during Disney World’s Extended Evening Hours? Let’s investigate!

Disney World’s Extended Evening Hours allow guests staying at select Disney World hotels extra time in the evenings at certain Disney Parks. Right now, folks can visit EPCOT and Magic Kingdom on select nights and Disney’s Hollywood Studios will offer Extended Evening Hours once again beginning September 25th, 2024!

So what does this mean for Lightning Lane Multi Pass? Likely nothing. Right now, Disney does not offer Genie+ or Lightning Lane services during its Extended Evening Hours. After some research, that doesn’t seem to be changing any time soon. That doesn’t mean that Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Single Pass won’t eventually become available, it only suggests that we won’t see this change at least immediately.

It makes sense that Disney World doesn’t want to rock the boat immediately with these changes, but we’ll continue to monitor the situation and report any new updates! In the meantime, you will still be able to use Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass during regular operating hours and can take advantage of those before you take advantage of Extended Evening Hours during a given park day.

As a reminder, the Disney World hotels that qualify for Extended Evening Hours are as follows: 

• Disney’s Contemporary Resort
• Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort
• Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
• Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows
• Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
