Disney Parks Say Goodbye to FastPass, Hello to Genie

in the past 10 or so years, you’ve probably used a FastPass. You could snag FastPass tickets or reservations to avoid long lines at popular attractions for free. With a FastPass, you’d come back within a designated one-hour window through a special lane to board the attraction at a significantly reduced wait time. It felt like a magic ticket! The system evolved over the years, but now?

and Walt Disney World are saying goodbye to the FastPass and hello to Disney Genie, coming this fall., Disney Genie “is a complimentary and convenient new digital service designed to create your best Disney day.” And sure, you can use its free planning services to maximize your day at whichever park you’re visiting. In theory, you tell Disney Genie your interests and it will help you make an itinerary.is what will get you access to the new Lightning Lanes .

In addition to no more free access to shorter queues, you can only make Lightning Lane selections on the same day of your visit. Previous to this, Walt Disney World allowed guests with reservations for their hotels to reserve FastPasses up to 60 days prior to check-in. Non-Disney hotel guests allowed guests with tickets to make FastPass reservations up to 30 days in advance.

And there’s more ! That per ticket cost mentioned above won’t cover every single attraction. If you want to access the Lightning Lane for higher demand attractions, you’ll pay an additional fee. Disney hasn’t shared that pricing yet but notes that it will vary by date, attraction, and park.

The parks are insanely crowded with 3 hour waits for the better rides. And don’t blame it on COVID. I was last there in 2019, just before the parks closed, with these wait times, Maybe Disney should stop building more ridiculously priced hotels that add to crowding?

Disney should get into the vacuum business. They always find very creative ways to suck money out of peoples pockets. Bloodsuckers

They also want to reduce the visit of those with disabilities. It is absolutely disgusting the kind of greed they are displaying.

This is because people keep going. Stop going, and they won't be able to extort the masses like this! WaltDisneyWorld greed disgusting fail AbuseOfPower DisneyWorld

Between this and the absurdly priced Star Wars hotel, Disney is really making it clear they don't want their parks to be accessible for most people on budgets anymore :/
