Disney has once again revamped its Lightning Lanes, moving even further away from the now-dead complimentary FastPass system that once allowed visitors to skip the lines for free.
Gone are the days when access to these express lines was free. With the onset of COVID-19 came the end of FastPass (which, at that point, was known as FastPass+). In 2021, both Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort introduced Genie+, a paid system that forced guests to book their rides on the day.
