Attending Disneyland is not cheap at all, even if you decide to spend your time only in a specific park, not to mention that if you wish to use fast passes and have more opportunities to spend less time waiting for a turn in attrition. That’s when Genie+ enters the picture, which is Disney World’s paid version for reservations for specific rides that work independently from the Original Lightning Lane and allows for a one-time selection of the same during the park day. But at what price does this higher service provision come with?
What is Genie+ Service at Disney World?
Genie+ is a new service that Disney World offers and which replaces the old FastPass service that was in place. It is based on the same idea – pay more and you can get a spot in a shorter Lightning Lanes for some attractions, which skips most of the standard queues.
This new service was introduced in late 2021 as part of the improvements to the My Disney Experience app and app. Genie+ was launched together with the free service called Genie which offers personalized tip boards as well as attraction recommendations for enhancing park visiting.
With the Genie+ purchase, you utilize an application to choose the subsequent Lightning Lane time for individual attractions throughout the day. Some are missing which are the bigger attraction rides that those Individual Lightning Lane can be purchased separately.
Pricing for Genie+ Per Day Per Person
Current Genie+ service charges are **$15 per guest per day** in Walt Disney World. So whether you are in Magic Kingdom Animal Kingdom, Epcot, or Hollywood Studios, the flat rate is charged. For instance, those who are below the age of three do not need Genie+.
This per guest per day fee covers:
- Lightning Lane, as it would allow entry into over 40 attractions and rides at a fast lane entrance.
- As a pro, the fact that one can book only one ride at a time for the entire day from the Disney app on their phone.
- This means that guests get to ride the attractions in a shorter time than when they are in standby queues.
Every other person in your touring party with a valid park ticket and wishing to use Genie+ Lightning Lanes must purchase Genie+. For instance, this means that a family of four will be expected to make a payment of $60 to be able to access Genie+ convenience for just one day.
It is important to note that when buying a park hopper ticket, Genie+ is included for the entire day and the two parks. The element of water parks is missing.
When to Purchase Genie+ Access
Genie+ access can be purchased in advance at 60 days for the length of stay before the park visit. Far more often, visitors buy Genie+ the day they plan to visit the park and can choose between purchasing before entering or in the park.
If you purchase Genie by 7:00 am on the app of Disney World, you can book your first lightning lane on the spot. Buying it later means that by the time one books a system, he/she has to wait for a later time to make the purchase.

Genie+ Perks
The key benefits of paying for Genie+ service are:
Shorter Waits
Instead of standing in ordinary standby lines, you go directly into your booked Lightning Lanes at the arranged time to reduce average wait times to approximately 25 minutes for each attraction.
Continuous Reservations
Once you utilize your initial Lightning Lane, you are allowed to do so without waiting for the next available slot at the second preference. It means that it grants more park time throughout the day because of the freedom it allows.
Schedule Flexibility
Genie+ lets you have choices for a tour around plans depending on the go-whether grabbing an earlier time with a shorter wait or unsaid choices.
Popular Attractions Included
However, even with this drawback, Genie + allows guests to enjoy some favorite attractions, although some of the best attractions, such as Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, can only be accessed by purchasing the Genie + service as an additional package.
Genie+ Drawbacks
However, Genie+ does come with a few key compromises:
- Any additional daily spend increasing the ticket price of Disney World even more
- According to Disney, each guest cannot book more than one Lightning Lane at once
- This can mean that attraction selections may be somewhat limited beyond noon per day.
- Further purchases may not necessarily achieve the expected value
For some guests, it means less value generated by Genie+ based on their possible schedule and preferences at the park.
Final Thoughts
The convenience offered by Genie+ saves a moderate amount of time and is fairly priced to benefit a large number of Walt Disney World park visitors. For those who are willing to spend extra time in the parks with kids demanding the most-visited facilities, many families are ready to pay $15 a day to avoid long queues. However, it is important to note that this feature is an optional upgrade, so make sure that you know the intricacies of it and how it works before expecting wonders from it.
So to conclude the response to the question stays that **Genie+ service is priced at $15 per ticket per day** acting as an extra service for Disney World guests when visiting Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, or Epcot in Orlando.
