Does The Magic Key Come With Genie Plus?

Disney Genie+ is a paid service that allows Annual Passholders at Disney World and Disneyland to skip the standby queue for attractions. It offers personalized planning, Lightning Lane access, and digital perks. At the launch, Disney World Annual Passholders and Disneyland Magic Key holders can add Disney Genie+ and/or individual Lightning Lane selections on their tickets. Some attractions are not included in Genie Plus, but it can be used when park hopping.

Disney Genie Plus at Walt Disney World replaces the previous FastPass system and allows guests to skip the standby line and elect a return. However, non-Magic Key holders do not receive a discount on Genie+, which makes the price more palatable and budget-friendly. The Lightning Lane Multi Pass at Disneyland costs $30 and up per person, per day (20 percent discount for Magic Key holders).

Magic Keyholders receive 20 off Disneyland Genie Plus when they purchase for one-off uses in the parks. This discount will not apply to the Magic Key pass. Disney also tries to sweeten the deal by regularly offering Magic Key passes, which allow Magic Key holders to get 20 off their Genie+ purchase on days they are using their pass. To purchase Disney Genie+, Magic Key holders must purchase ahead of time.

Guests who purchase Disney Genie+ (which costs $15 per person, per day) can begin making their first Lightning Lane selection at 7AM on the day of their visit.
