Changes to Skipping Lines

When Walt Disney World reopened in July 2020, many things were a bit different. One of the most notable changes was the suspension of the free FastPass system. Many felt that this was simply due to crowd capacity limits and that this free service would return in the future.

However, this system was replaced by Genie+. Genie+ was introduced to Walt Disney World in October 2021. The Disney Genie+ is a one day fee add-on where you can access even more attractions with shorter wait times with variable pricing.

There is no limit to how many Guests may purchase Disney Genie+ in a certain day, but certain attractions can be unavailable throughout the day due to growing crowds. Check out the frustrations with the Disney Genie+ HERE and an honest review of Genie+ HERE.

This service is available free of charge and will be introduced this summer for a limited period.

After entering the park, The Tokyo Disney Resort 40th Anniversary Priority Pass gives guests the ability to select eligible experiences using the Tokyo Disney Resort App. Guests will be able to enter the venue from a designated entrance at a specified time and enjoy their selected experience with a reduced wait time.

This new Anniversary Priority Pass will be used similar to Disney’s Genie+ paid system.

This service will provide options for how guests experience the Parks, offering convenience and added flexibility for those who wish to personalize their experience and get the most out of their visit. The launch date for the Tokyo Disney Resort 40th Anniversary Priority Pass is is scheduled to become available this summer. No specific date has been released yet.

Tokyo has the right idea. Needs to spread across other Disney locations.
