What changed

Then (Genie+) Now
One paid product for many rides Three products: Multi Pass, Single Pass and Premier Pass
Book next ride after using the last Multi Pass uses a rolling set of selections
Individual Lightning Lane for top rides Single Pass for the newest headliners
No all-day option Premier Pass skips every eligible ride

How the three work

  • Multi Pass reserves return windows for many rides.
  • Single Pass is bought per ride for the biggest headliners, such as TRON.
  • Premier Pass is the highest-priced option with one skip on each eligible ride.

Prices vary by day and park. On October 6, 2026 Disney raised Lightning Lane prices, including the Premier Pass maximum to $499, according to reporting. Resort guests can book earlier than off-site guests.

What to do

  1. Read the Lightning Lane guide for the 2026 details.
  2. Decide which rides you most want to ride and whether waits justify a purchase.
  3. Check the current price in the My Disney Experience app.
