Overview

• Lightning Lane Multi Pass, introduced in 2024 to replace Genie+, uses date- and park-based flex pricing that has already climbed as high as $39 per person on peak days.
• When Genie+ debuted in 2021 at about $15 per person, Disney doubled its price on busy days within two years, setting a precedent for rapid add-on fee increases.
• Starting Sept. 11, The Little Mermaid — A Musical Adventure becomes a tier two choice in the Multi Pass lineup, boosting its appeal to families.
• If the average Multi Pass fee rises to roughly $30 per person, a family of four would spend about $120 daily, excluding extra Lightning Lane single-ride purchases.
• Analysts estimate that a weeklong vacation could incur an additional $800–$1,000 solely in line-skipping charges if prices continue to climb.
