π’ Transition from Genie Plus to Lightning Lane
James from guide to wdw discusses the replacement of Genie Plus with Lightning Lane, a new system at Disney World. He highlights the changes from the old system, such as the introduction of Lightning Lane multi-pass and single pass, and the impact these changes might have on guests. James mentions the confusion over the new naming conventions and the potential for guest confusion. He also points out improvements such as the simplification of the booking process and the integration of park hopping but criticizes the increased complexity and the disadvantage for offsite guests and international visitors.
π° Critique of Lightning Lane's Complexity and Booking Restrictions
This paragraph delves into the intricacies of the new Lightning Lane system, emphasizing its complexity and the potential for guest frustration. James outlines the booking process differences between Disney Resort guests and offsite guests, the tier system for attractions, and the complications arising from split stays. He argues that while the system offers some quality of life improvements, the overall complexity and the inability for international guests to pre-book Lightning Lanes are significant drawbacks.
π The Pros and Cons of Booking Windows and Head Start
James discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the new booking windows for Lightning Lane. He explains how Disney Resort guests can book their entire trip's worth of Lightning Lanes in advance, which is a significant upgrade from the previous system. However, he also points out the downsides, such as the necessity for offsite guests to wake up early to secure popular rides and the disadvantage this puts international guests at, who cannot pre-book until they arrive in the US or Canada.
π Loss of Flexibility and Impact on Different Guest Types
In this paragraph, James addresses the loss of flexibility that comes with the new Lightning Lane system, comparing it to the previous Genie Plus system. He explains how the new system requires guests to commit to their park choices and Lightning Lane selections in advance, which may not suit spontaneous or last-minute trip planners. James also discusses how the system affects different types of guests, from annual passholders to international visitors, and how it may not be as accommodating to those with less predictable schedules or who value the ability to change plans easily.
π Benefits for Planners and the Downside of Limited Ride Availability
James highlights the benefits of the Lightning Lane system for guests who enjoy planning their trips in detail. He notes the ability to pre-book multiple rides and see prices ahead of time as significant improvements. However, he also discusses the downside of limited same-day ride availability, which can restrict the overall number of Lightning Lanes guests can secure. He mentions the removal of certain attractions from the Lightning Lane options and the potential impact this has on guest experience.
π€ Weighing the Lightning Lane Multi-Pass as an Upgrade or Downgrade
In the final paragraph, James summarizes his thoughts on the Lightning Lane system, identifying it as an upgrade or downgrade depending on the guest's perspective. He points out that while some guests, particularly those staying at Disney Resorts, may benefit from the new system, others, such as offsite guests and international visitors, may experience a downgrade in their experience. James calls for Disney to simplify the Lightning Lane system to improve the overall guest experience and expresses his preference for a system that treats all guests equally.

Transcripts
hey Bobby what's up not much bestie I'm
just calling to let you know that I
decided to get rid of Genie plus that's
great and you're fixing what guests
don't like about it
right
right
right hi I'm James from guide to wdw and
because my brain is broken in a very
specific way I spend way too much of my
free time thinking about how to skip the
lines at Disney World so when Disney
announced that they were replacing Genie
plus an individual lightning Lane with
lightning Lane multi-pass in single pass
my mind has been occupied with nothing
else sorry precious memories of my
children growing up there's no room for
you in here I have booking Windows to
figure out I just released two videos
explaining everything that's new with
new lightning Lane and answering your
questions like the rules and the facts
of how it works but now it's time to
answer the biggest question of all are
these changes any good I've seen
opinions on this out there ranging from
this is the worst thing ever to saying
it's awesome Carly weissel who is a
genuinely great and delightful theme
park journalist said it's a step in the
right direction but is it though my
family started guide to wdw.com in 1999
and since then we've seen the pros and
cons of each of Disney's line skipping
systems I can already tell where New
lightning Lane is much improved and
where it's way way worse so in this
video I'm breaking down everything about
lightning Lane multipass and single pass
from the guest perspective Ive and
telling you if it's better or worse
because for a certain type of guests
this is a huge upgrade but for many
people this is either going to be a
lateral move or objectively much worse
let's dive in starting with the name so
the new naming is better than the old
naming Ginny plus never made sense as
branding unless your greatest wish was
to wake up at 7:00 a.m. and then miss
out on Slinky Dog Dash because your
hotel's internet connection was too slow
it's cleaner that everything's just
called lightning Lane now and the names
do make a bit more sense lightning Lane
multipass gives you access to many rides
lightning Lane single pass is one ride
at a time but the naming is not good
they don't convey anything about the
level of attraction that you're getting
as Brian from parkl tweeted it's
understandable if someone thinks that
they could buy just a single pass to get
on any of the rides that are available
with multipass like oh I really want to
go on Tiana can't I just buy a single
pass for that no that's only available
with multipass lightning Lane single
pass is just for the biggest and most
popular rides plus there's no good way
to shorthand it no one is going to say
that ride is available with lightning
Lane multipass TM they'll say things
like oh Space Mountain is a multi-pass
ride Tron is a single pass ride oh like
single Rider no not single rider that's
different than single pass it might seem
nitpicky but guess confusion was a huge
issue with Genie plus and the new naming
will not help with that if Disney is
insistent on having two different levels
of lightning Lane rides the name should
communicate these distinctions more
clearly to someone who's going to the
parks for the first time how about this
Disney you should have a name for the
regular rides that you buy in a bundle
and a name for the super premium rides
that you can buy only allak cart like
how about Fastpass and Fast Pass Plus
just saying the naming is an upgrade
over Genie plus but it's still bad two
complexity one of the biggest knocks
against Genie plus was how complicated
it was there were too many different
names and rules to just easily grasped I
can't believe it's possible but Disney
figured out a way to make lightning Lane
even more complicated you can blame
Keith he's Disney's Chief complexity
officer his job is to make sure that
nothing is just simple at Disney his
accomplishments include park pass
reservations TPM Park hopping and the
virtual queue but his greatest
achievement yet might be lightning Lane
multipass before I get into the
questionable decisions Disney made here
I do want to acknowledge where things
are improved and friendlier to the guest
Disney removed the multiple Park option
and park hopping is just baked in if you
have a park hopper ticket everything
becomes available at the same time so at
7: a.m. you can book both single pass
and multi-pass for the day in one
transaction also the rules of getting
new lightning Lanes is the easiest to
explain of Disney systems yet you can
always have three lightning Lane slots
available to you once you use one you
can refill that empty slot with an
available ride those are three big
improvements but now let's let Keith
cook when you book depends on if you're
a Disney Resort guest or not 7 days
ahead of checkin for official Disney
Resorts and 3 days ahead of your first
Park day for offsite guest you can book
your full vacation once sitting if
you're staying at a Disney Resort or if
you're staying offsite and have a ticket
that doesn't need a reservation if
you're staying offsite and your ticket
needs reservations like a military
discount ticket you can still book 3
days ahead of time but you can only book
one day at a time if you're an annual
passholder and staying off site you can
also only book one day at a time but no
matter what make sure you have a park
pass reservation or it's a good to go
day otherwise you can only get lightning
Lanes past 2: p.m. unless it's Magic
Kingdom on the weekends for lightning
Lane multipass attractions are broken up
into tiers but only in three out of the
four Parks you can book one ride from
Tier 1 and two rides from tier 2 or
three rides from tier two if you don't
want any tier one rides oh and tiers
don't apply for suay lightning Lane
reservations and don't even get me
started with split stays which Disney
itself describes as quote very
confusable end quote it doesn't need to
be this complicated the levels of
exceptions if then no but is just
exhausting the upgrades I mentioned
earlier are all quality of life
improvements for sure once you're using
the system but this complexity is all
upfront you need to go through a
flowchart just to figure out if you're
able to buy the thing also like I said
earlier the naming doesn't convey that
there are actually two different
lightning length systems with different
rules that don't actually interact with
each other and this is all in addition
to the rules surrounding virtual Q which
based on the comments that I get a lot
of people don't realize is a completely
separate line system Disney desperately
needs to streamline and simplify the
guest experience and boy they did not do
that with multipass big downgrade okay
so far I've been pretty down on the new
system let's find a ray of sunshine by
getting more sleep three waking up at
7:00 a.m. one of the biggest complaints
that people had about Genie plus was
that you had to wake up every single day
of your vacation at 7:00 a.m. to have a
chance to get the hardest to get rides
fortunately multipass and single pass
fixes that for most guests you'll still
have to wake up before 7: a.m. but only
for one day ahead of your vacation if
you're staying at a Disney Resort or if
you staying offsite and buy a ticket
that doesn't need reservations you can
book your entire Trip's worth of
lightning Lanes in one sitting if you're
staying offsite and have a ticket that
needs reservations you can still book 3
days ahead of time but you can only book
one day at a time so you're still waking
up at 7:00 a.m. multiple days just
shifted 3 days earlier which is actually
worse because 3 days ahead of time is
just an awkward amount of time to think
of and plan quick what are you doing in
3 days I barely know what day today is
plus the whole point of waking up right
at 7:00 a.m. was to get the hardest to
get reservations like Slinky Dog or
Ratatouille if you're staying off site
you're already a disadvantage for that
that brings me to my next point but
being able to book multiple days ahead
of your trip is an upgrade it doesn't
complete completely remove the 7: a.m.
wakeup call because virtual Q is still
around but it is better four Resort
guests with the old system all guests
were on equal footing for the most part
Resort guests had very little advantages
they could purchase individual lightning
Lanes at 7:00 a.m. instead of Park
opening and that was it that completely
changes with lightning Lane multipass
and single pass thanks to that Head
Start for booking Resort guests now have
a huge Advantage for the hardest to get
lightning lanes and because you can buy
the length of your stay the longer your
stay is the bigger your advantage is at
the end of your trip we're not exactly
sure how this will specifically shake
out but I bet it will be pretty similar
to FastPass Plus where most of the rides
were available to most guests but rides
like flight of Passage and S Doors Mine
Train would sell out more than 60 days
ahead of time with FastPass Plus to get
on the biggest rides you either had to
be a resort guest booking as early as
possible or get really lucky booking a
cancellation later now the scale of this
is going to be different because it's
not a free perk but I really wouldn't be
surprised to see if Slinky Dog or Tiana
would basically require a Disney resort
reservation to be able to book and even
if you have a resort reservation the
most in demand multipass rides could
very well be sold out a week or more
ahead of time I don't have an issue with
Disney giving their Resort guest perks
but I wish it wasn't a head start like
this I think the whole system would be
improved if the booking rules applied
the same to everyone but multipass was
just included as a resort part perk and
offside guests had to purchase it it
would solve the flowchart issue plus
provide a really attractive perk for all
guests going to Disney Resorts not just
the ones clued in enough to know about
the 7-Day versus 3-day booking window
getting to skip the lines for free is
something that any guest can understand
the value of intuitively versus getting
to book reservations earlier and in this
scenario guest staying offsite would
have the same chance to get the hard to
get rides instead of now having to pay
the same price to be put at a
disadvantage but that's not how it works
now so if you're staying at a Disney
Resort this is a big upgrade for
everyone else it's a downgrade but we'll
see how much of a downgrade actually I
lied there are certain Disney Resort
guests where this is a huge downgrade
and that is for international guests
I've harped on this in my last couple of
videos and I'll keep harping on this
because I think this is one of the worst
decisions that Disney has made in recent
memory currently in order to pre-book
lightning Lanes you need to physically
be inside the us or Canada if you're
outside of those countries you basically
have to wait until you get to Orlando to
start booking which for most guests will
either be the day before they go into
the parks or the same day which puts
them way behind us and Canadian guests
so it doesn't matter if you're staying
coner level at a deluxe Resort you still
can't book ahead of your arrival to the
US now I've gotten some comments about
this defending Disney saying oh they're
working to fix this or it's because of
ta taxes or different app store rules in
different countries so what do you
expect them to do I expect them to
figure it out before they roll out a
whole new system I've seen so many
comments from International guests who
are Furious and rightly so many of these
guests have booked their very lengthy
very expensive vacations many many
months ago I got one comment from
someone who booked a year and a half ago
and suddenly right before their trip
Disney is changing the whole lightning
Lane system in a way that makes it much
worse for inter interal guests without
any clue when or if it's going to be
fixed and Disney could find ways to make
this work like giveaway just for
international guest to buy multi-pass
vouchers or a ticket add-on through your
Resort or your travel agent So when you
buy lightning Lane you're just using up
one of your vouchers instead of making a
credit card payment circumventing the
whole app purchase issue even if Disney
fixes it today it's still really bad
that the decision makers ever thought
that this was an acceptable way to ship
a new product that they couldn't predict
that guests who go to the greatest
lengths and many who spend the most
amount of money would see this
restriction and feel that Disney doesn't
want their business anymore it's not
just bad for international guests it's
bad for Disney as those guests would be
among the most likely to buy the new
lightning Lane system for every day of
their extended trips nobody forced
Disney to change lightning Lane right
now there's a lot about this role that
feels rushed in a way that doesn't
consider the guest experience like how
they didn't wait to roll this out during
the slow season like late August or
September but the most ill-considered
decision was to announce this without
way for international guests to pre-book
it's a really bad look and the biggest
possible downgrade okay I feel myself
getting pulled into the negativity
Vortex so let's talk some sugar about
how great new lightning Lane is for
planners if you're a planner this is
probably the biggest possible upgrade
with Genie plus it was a mystery which
rides you could get plus you didn't even
know how much it would cost until the
same day now not only can you see the
price ahead of time you can pre-book
three multi-pass rides and two single
pass rides per day so if you have the
budget you can guarantee up to five big
rides per day plus you can see which
rides are available for multipass before
you make the purchase and you can select
from any of the available time slots
rather than the soonest available time
so if you're the type of person who puts
their whole trip into a spreadsheet
you're going to love this just like you
probably love F Pass Plus if you visit
Disney World once a year or less
frequently it feels reassuring to be
able to know that you have your biggest
must do rides guaranteed with a short
weight before you even head to Florida
big upgrade to planning but there's a
flip side to that number seven
flexibility say what you will about
Genie plus and we have but its biggest
strength was flexibility it worked well
for guests with last minute trips and
who value spontaneity because everything
was same day you could decide the
morning of if you were going to purchase
Genie Plus or not and if you had a
parkhopper ticket that didn't need
reservations you could choose which Park
you were visiting that day based on
which lightning lanes were available or
just how you were feeling you could put
things early in the day or you could
stack Genie slots in the afternoon
lightning Lane multipass removes a lot
of that flexibility now it's much better
for last minute trips than FastPass Plus
was FastPass Plus had a ridiculous 30 to
60-day reservation window I once to
decided to go to Disney World about a
month ahead of time which isn't exactly
spur of the moment but I couldn't get
any of the biggest fast passes because I
didn't plan my trip early enough the
7-Day reservation window is much better
for this and I think that's a reasonable
amount of time but if you want to use
lightning Lane you're going to have to
pick which Parks you want to visit on
each day and that choice is
non-refundable you can change your mind
about which Park you want to visit but
you'll have to pay the price difference
if you want to change to a more
expensive Park if you change to a less
expensive Park you don't get the
difference refunded so if you buy Magic
Kingdom or Hollywood Studios you won't
want to change to one of the cheaper
parks and waste that money plus unless
you're 7 days out if you change which
Park you're going to go to you're going
to have a harder time getting good
lightning Lane slots and anyway if you
score a Slinky Dog lightning Lane
there's no chance you're going to want
to change which Park you're visiting
anyway another way that the system is
less flexible is that it really
incentivizes you to book your lightning
Lanes early in the day because you can
make new lightning Lane reservations as
soon as you use your first reservation
stacking lightning Lanes in the
afternoon is much less effective because
of the attraction TI if you want the
most value with lightning Lane multipass
you better know which Park you're
visiting on each morning one of the
things that guests hated most over the
past few years was the park pass
reservation system because you had to
choose which Park you would visit first
each day modifications were possible but
this whole system added a lot of
friction if you needed to change your
plans for any reason so people were
really exced Ed when Disney announced
that they were getting R reservations
for date based tickets which are what
most people buy well Lightning L
multipass is basically a new way to get
people to lock in which Park they're
visiting first yes Disney brought back
Park reservations and figured out a way
to get you to pay for them good job
Keith flexibility is a big downgrade
number of rides you can get Disney says
on its official website that most guests
can expect to get two to three lightning
lanes per day on average with Genie plus
so for the average guest lightning Lane
multipass is an upgrade since it
guarantees three rides at the minimum
now if you're someone watching gu to wdw
videos you are getting way more
lightning lanes per day anyway yes Genie
plus stacking is now much less desirable
but I'm certain that this system is
going to have its own Advanced
Techniques that will allow you to
maximize the number of rides you can get
on I'm already working on a multi-pass
master class that will lay out all those
tips in one place once I can see the
system in action so be sure to get
subscribed so you don't miss it but this
is definitely an upgrade for the average
guest whoops did I say definitely not so
fast me from the past this is James from
the future and yeah I got this wrong
lightning Lane multipass has been
operational over the past few days and
same day attraction availability so far
has been how should I put it not good
rides that used to be available late
into the day with Genie plus like Toy
Story Mania and Haunted Mansion are now
selling out much earlier in the day or
practically have no same day
availability at all yes multipass has a
higher floor with three guaranteed rides
but the same day availability being so
sparse lowers the ceiling on the number
of lightning Lanes you can get in a day
it's still a bit of a developing story
as more data comes in and as Disney
adjusts when they release additional
lightning Lane slots but I have to
change this to a downgrade for now and
part of this availability issue has to
do with a really weird decision Disney
made the attraction lineup Disney made
the strange move of removing a lot of
attractions from lightning Lane
multipass this includes the Festival of
fantasy parade Enchanted tales with bell
the animation experience in every single
meet and greet those meet and greets
were a great get for Genie plus as it
saved you a lot of time in a very boring
slow moving line why Disney removed them
is beyond me since they already have the
lines in the signage built it really
wouldn't surprise me if these came back
but this is for sure a downgrade which
which brings me to my final thoughts is
lining Lane multipass an upgrade or a
downgrade it all depends on what type of
guest you are because there are some
winners and some losers with the system
I brought up that Carly weell tweet at
the beginning not to drag her for being
wrong or anything but to illustrate a
point Carly is very knowledgeable about
these systems and visiting from the West
Coast I know from personal experience
that 7:00 a.m. wakeup call is brutal
with jet lag so for someone like her
this this is a step in the right
direction this is a big upgrade if
you're a planner staying at a Disney
Resort with the budget for lightning
Lane every day you're the biggest winner
here you get to book everything ahead of
your trip and have the biggest chance on
getting on the best rides if you're
staying offsite and have a date-based
ticket you win some you lose some it'll
be nice not having to wake up at 7:00
a.m. every day but you might have a
harder time getting a lightning Lane for
the rides where it will make the biggest
difference if you have little kids you
also lose because meet and greets were
dropped and having less flexibility most
likely will be the hardest for you
sometimes it's just impossible to get
out the door when you were hoping to
with little kids if you're an annual
passholder staying off site if you're a
local or if you're an international
guest you're the Biggest Loser of all
just when it comes to the system I still
love you and I think this fundamentally
exposes the whole problem with the
lightning Lan system as it exists right
now all of these winners and losers are
people who are paying extra into the
system on top top of a very expensive
theme park ticket so you can pay up to
$40 per person a day and still lose if
you're staying at a good neighbor hotel
or if you decide ah we'd rather take it
easy this morning at the resort too bad
a week ago you got a Remy reservation so
suck it up kiddos I know you're tired
but we're going on the rat ride with
FastPass Plus the complexity and Resort
guests being at a big Advantage was a
bit forgivable when it was an included
perk now you're all paying for the
business class upgrade but it turns out
they oversold the number of seats so you
may end up and Coach anyway and no
matter what you have to assemble the
chair yourself even if they're never
going to make it free again Disney
desperately needs to simplify lightning
Lane yes this complexity is good for
people like me who make videos
explaining how it works but it's bad for
almost anyone else and because this new
version is probably the most complicated
yet there's no way this is anything
other than a downgrade in my book a step
in the wrong direction even though it's
technically good for me me I'd
personally rather The Experience be
better for everyone one set of rules for
all guests paying for this upgrade would
be a good start let me know what you
think do you prefer lightning Lane
multipass Genie Plus or are you like me
and still Clinging On to your paper fast
pass tickets and if you have any
questions about the new lightning Lane
system let me know and check out this
video here where I answer over 20 of
your biggest questions about lightning
Lane multipass this has been James from
guide to wdw thanks for watching and
I'll see you real soon
