Disney officially announced today that the Disney Genie service will be available at the Disneyland Resort beginning Dec. 8, 2021.
Disney Genie+ will be available for $20 per ticket per day and allows you to select the next available arrival window for Disney Genie+ Lightning Lane entrances at a variety of attractions, one at a time (subject to limited availability; limit one Lightning Lane selection per experience each day). Disney Genie+ also includes unlimited Disney PhotoPass digital photo downloads from your day, as well as audio experiences featuring fun facts and behind-the-scenes insights.
Disney Genie+ service may be purchased in the Disneyland app after you’ve entered the park and have linked your park ticket. After Dec. 8, you may also choose to purchase Disney Genie+ prior to your visit when you purchase a park ticket. You can begin making your Lightning Lane arrival window selections as soon as you enter a theme park.
Individual Lightning Lane Option
There will also be the option of individual Lightning Lane Entrance selections for guests. If you choose this option, you may purchase the next available arrival window, one at a time, for up to two (2) attractions per day upon entering a theme park. This option will be available at Radiator Springs Racers and WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure at Disney California Adventure park, and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disneyland park.
Attractions will continue to offer a traditional standby queue, or a virtual queue may be used at select attractions. Check the Disneyland app for attraction queue status.
