Breaking News: Genie+ Changes Announced!

Big News! Disney just announced changes to Genie+ starting July 24, 2024 in an effort to make it less confusing and more user friendly.

First, to make it explicitly clear what you’re buying, they’ve renamed the two types of passes. Disney Genie+ service will become Lightning Lane Multi Pass, while individual Lightning Lane will now be known as Lightning Lane Single Pass.

Second, at Disney World in Orlando, you can now select rides in advance so you don’t have to wake up at 7am each day of your trip anymore! Yay! You can select up to 3 rides using your multi pass and/or 2 single pass rides. You’ll also be able to choose specific return window times when you make your selections, so you can plan around dining reservations and other plans.

Selections can be made as soon as 7 days before your trip for each day of your trip if you’re staying at a Disney resort or 3 days if you’re not. On the day of your visit, once you use a selection, you may check the My Disney Experience app for availability to make additional selections.

At Disneyland, Genie+ must still be booked the day of. Everything will work the same as it does now except for the name changes.

If you’re familiar with the old FastPass system when it used to let us pick 3 rides in advance, it’s basically returning back to that paradigm. There are some nuances to be aware of, such as picking rides from a tier system, and how all this effects your strategy of which rides to get first now. I’m sure more will be clarified in due time too.

I’ll update my Genie+ info pages with all of the details as it gets closer. For now, I just wanted to give you a quick heads up incase you have an upcoming trip soon after July 24th. If you do, feel free to ping me if you want to chat more about this.

Contact me if you want me to book your next Disney trip.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Opening Date

Disney has announced that Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is opening on June 28, 2024 in Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando and later in 2024 at Disneyland Park in California!

Join Princess Tiana and jazz-loving alligator Louis on their journey through a shimmering bayou as they prepare for a spirited celebration during Mardi Gras season. Along the way, you’ll see familiar faces and make new friends as you’re brought into the next chapter of Tiana’s inspiring story.

This ride will use a virtual queue when it first opens. Guests can request to join the virtual queue via the My Disney Experience app at 7 a.m. or 1 p.m. While a standby queue will not be available during the attraction’s initial opening days, we expect to open a standby queue soon after the attraction’s opening. It will also be included as a Lightning Lane option in the Disney Genie+ service.

Preview opportunities ahead of the official grand opening are available for Florida-based Cast Members, Annual Passholders, and eligible Disney Vacation Club members on select days in June. Park reservation and Virtual Queue passes are needed.

Beginning opening day, Golden Oak Outpost and The Friar’s Nook will be serving up light, sweet and fluffy beignets drizzled with honey and powdered sugar. These will be available for a limited time only so let the good times roll. Of course, there will also be Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and “The Princess and the Frog”-inspired merchandise.

This new ride is a re-theme of the previous Splash Mountain ride. Favorite components of that ride will be returning such as the 50 foot drop, the ride photo, and the chance to get wet. The new theming and animatronics look amazing! Are you excited?

If you are planning a trip this summer, take note how this could effect you. Magic Kingdom will be very crowded near the opening date. If you have a ticket type that still requires making park reservations, check before you buy and make those reservations asap since the reservations for Magic Kingdom may fill up fast, especially for opening day. If you want to ride this, read up on how best to get a Virtual Queue pass or buy Genie+ and plan to do it as you can’t just walk up to line up..
