Genie+ being replaced with Lightning Lane Multi Pass On June 26th, Disney announced Genie+. As of July 24th, Genie+ will be replaced will be replaced by two Lightning Lane systems: Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass.  Both products will be able to be booked in advance. Starting 7 days before the first day of their trip, Walt Disney World resort guests will be able to book passes for their entire length of stay (up to 14 days).  Non-resort guests will be able to book 3 days in advance of their ticket dates.   Lightning Lane Single Pass will remain consistent with Individual Lightning Lane. We expect that the current rides under this system will also remain the same.  Lightning Lane Multi Pass will basically return to the old FastPass+ system, with the ability to book three ride reservations in advance for each day you purchase the product for a single park. Guests will be able to pick from available one-hour return windows for the rides.  The initial bookings will have tier levels, with one tier one ride and two tier two rides selected each day, for all Walt Disney World parks except Animal Kingdom.  Other than the cost, a major difference between FP+ and Lightning Lane Multi Pass is once you use one of your booked Lightning Lane Multi Passes, guests can start booking additional passes. Additional rides appear to have no tier restrictions and can be booked at a different park.  Source: Walt Disney World website Disney Jollywood Nights returns and MVMCP dates announced After its problems with kickoff last year, Disney's Jollywood Nights hard ticket event at Disney’s Hollywood Studio returns this year with minor tweaks.
