Disney has modified its Disney Genie+ offerings at Walt Disney World following up from the previous change in February 2022.

Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway remains in Genie+

Disney announced in February that until August 7 2022, Expedition Everest, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, Frozen Ever After and Space Mountain will be included via Disney Genie+ service and will not be included as an individual Lightning Lane selections. Disney has updated the line-up today to keep these attractions within Genie+, meaning they will not return to Individual Attraction purchase from August 7.

Space Mountain remain included in regular Genie+

This latest update means that only Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, and Avatar Flight of Passage will be available as Individual Lightning Lane purchases.

Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind is offered as an Individual Lightning Lane selection

Disney Genie+ is an option within the Disney Genie service that makes the former FastPass line available at select attractions, now called Lightning Lane. At Walt Disney World, the introductory pricing is $15 per ticket per day. Certain headline attractions are not part of Genie+, and Lightning Lane access at those attractions requires an Individual Attraction purchase which varies in prices.

So now that the changes to DAS have been announced, any idea on how far away we are from getting news about pre-booking G+ selections?

I think you are right. This is the new floor. Remember how low the prices were when it started

@tanc is talking about LL Bean's return policy that was changed a few years back.

What legendary return policy? Are you talking about for legacy paper FP many years ago? Or something else?

I’m curious to see if Genie- prices drop further to the old minimums or if these become the new “floor”.

If OP was referring to the mix ratio with the 80% figure, that determines how many LL guests pass through the merge point at any given time versus standby. There will still be the same number of guests who ultimately choose to experience the attraction via either standby or LL whether they let 20 LL guests through the merge point for every one standby or 50. If the suggestion is that 80% of a "popular" attraction's total guests throughout the day are LL guests, I don't know of any in which that is the case.

But the ratio of people that get on the ride via Standby or LL throughout a day (on average) must be the same ratio of people that get in the line...

Individual Lightning Lane price drops alongside lower Genie+ cost at Walt Disney World https://www.wdwmagic.com/other/disney-genie/news/08apr2024-individual-lightning-lane-price-drops-alongside-lower-genie-cost-at-walt-disney-world.htm

I believe the figures you are referring to are the mix ratios of LL vs standby guests at the merge point, which can fluctuate throughout the day. These ratios do not themselves determine the types of guests (Genie+ vs Standby) who will ultimately choose to get in line and experience a specific attraction.

It took me a very long time to parse this post because my brain stubbornly insisted on reading “LL” as “Lightning Lane” every time, which made me assume “bean” was some sort of typo, and I could not for the life of me figure out what you were trying to say. Thankfully it eventually clicked.

It’s been reported on this site and others that the LL entrance at any popular attraction accounts for 75-80% of that ride’s capacity because the LL is heavily favored. Having the other 20-25 percent scan at a separate entrance shouldn’t be much of an issue.

Brian16 days ago

It has been discussed several times already why that "solution" is wildly impractical. Don't believe me? Look at the LL entrance of any relatively popular attraction and you'll see clumps of guests struggling to get in because of various issues like finding and presenting their admission media, entitlements not being linked, and more. Now imagine every single guest in the park being forced to do that for each attraction.

This is insane. I have stated it several times. It’s extended waits that is a problem 9 times out of 10. Not a 15 minute wait for Little Mermaid

Disney really needs to come up with a system to prevent anyone with a DAS return time from standing in line for any other attraction. This would be easy to accomplish by having CMs scan tickets at the standby entrances.
