What is a Lightning Lane?

(Formerly known as Genie+) It’s an optional paid service where guests can skip the standby queue and join a shorter line at a specific call back time.

Guests can book Lightning Lanes via their My Disney Experience App ahead of their park visit. It’s a helpful system for those who like to book in advance.
