As of July 24, 2024, the Disney Genie+ service is no more at Walt Disney World Resort. At Disney's Hollywood Studios, as well as the other Disney World theme parks, you now have three paid options for bypassing the lines: the Disney Lightning Lane Multi Pass (previously known as Genie+ service), the Disney Lightning Lane Single Pass (previously known as individual Lightning Lanes) and a brand-new Lightning Lane Premier Pass. With these changes, you can choose your desired rides in advance! Wahoo! The Lightning Lane Multi Pass includes different tiers, similar to the old FASTPASS+ system. Today, we're breaking it down so you'll know all your choices beforehand. Lights, camera, action!
Overview of Lightning Lanes at Hollywood Studios
With the introduction of Disney Lightning Lane passes, you can now pre-book up to three rides or experiences up to three days before your visit through the My Disney Experience app. Guests staying at Walt Disney World Resort hotels have the added benefit of making these selections (for both Multi Pass and Single Pass options) up to seven days in advance for the duration of their stay, up to 14 days. Each day, you can choose up to three Multi Pass selections, with the option to include one Tier 1 ride and two from Tier 2. Another option? Make all three selections from Tier 2 — it's your call! As an example, you could plan for Slinky Dog Dash, Star Tours and The Twilight Tower of Terror, or switch out Slinky Dog for Toy Story Mania. In addition, you can purchase up to two Single Pass rides per day.
Once you’ve scanned in for a Lightning Lane Multi Pass at the park, you can use the app to book another selection from either Tier 1 or 2. You can continue booking one at a time until the park closes. For those with park hopper tickets or annual passes, this is when you can select rides or shows in a different park. Each attraction can be accessed through Lightning Lane only once per day. Pricing varies by date.

Lightning Lane Single Pass Attractions at Hollywood Studios
Lightning Lane Single Pass Attraction (for individual purchase):
Lightning Lane Premier Pass
This pass allows one-time entry to each available Lightning Lane experience without any reservations so you can enjoy at your leisure. Basically, you can ride the Lightning Lane attractions you want, when you want — and it doesn't matter whether they're normally Single Pass or Multi Pass attractions. It comes at a price though! It's the most expensive option out of the three Lightning Lane passes. As of Nov. 22, 2024, it is only available to guests staying at Disney Resorts or other select hotels (the Swan and Dolphin, Swan Reserve and Shades of Green).
