SURPRISE! These Attractions Are INCLUDED In the New Lightning Lane System in Disney World

We don’t know about you, but we are struggling to keep up with all the changes happening in Disney World right now. Sure, the EPCOT transformation is finally complete, but there are still so many more changes in store.

New Lightning Lane changes are coming

Magic Kingdom will be getting a huge expansion. In EPCOT, Test Track is closed so it can be reimagined. In Disney’s Animal Kingdom, DinoLand, U.S.A. is going to get a re-theme. Then Disney went and announced that it’s also completely changing Genie+. We’ve been doing our best to answer all your burning questions about the NEW system replacing Genie+, and now Disney has surprised us by adding some attractions we thought would NOT be a part of it!

First up, Genie+ is going away and will be replaced with Lightning Lane Multi Pass. It’s more than just a name change, though. You’ll be able to purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass BEFORE your trip and make up to three ride selections before you ever step foot in the parks. If you’re staying at a Disney World hotel, you’ll get to make your selections up to seven days in advance. Everyone else can make selections three days in advance.

Rides have also been put into a tiered system, so you’ll only be able to book one Lightning Lane for rides in the top tier and two rides in the bottom tier or three rides in the bottom tier.

Now this was the list Disney gave us when they announced this new system last month. And we quickly noticed some things that were MISSING that used to be included in Disney Genie+, namely some character meet and greets, shows, and reserved viewing for fireworks and parades.

BUT, when the new system went live on the Disney World app at midnight on July 24th, we were pleasantly surprised!
