By now you may have heard of the Disney Genie program, which is a new service in the My Disney Experience app for Disney World that helps guests plan their trip with free personalized itineraries.

There are two paid service options with Disney Genie — the first is Genie+, which is $15 per ticket, per day and will allow you to make reservations to skip the line of rides, similar to how you previously did with FastPass+. The other paid service is Individual Attraction Selection, or the pay-per-ride service, which will allow guests to skip the line of high-demand rides NOT included with Genie+ by paying for them individually. And now, Disney has officially announced what each ride will cost!
Individual Attraction Selection will grant you access to the Lightning Lanes (the former FastPass+ lanes) of certain high-demand rides in the parks. The prices for each ride will change based on the time of year it is and the demand — think of it like surge pricing with Uber.
Disney has only released the pricing for when the program launches on October 19th, so here is a look at the prices for some of the rides that qualify:
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train – $10-$12
- Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure – $9-$11
- Expedition Everest – $7
- Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance – $15
Expedition Everest
Remember, this WILL change depending on the date, but the current maximum price right now is $15. The example Disney provided was that on October 19th, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will be $9, but on October 23rd, it will be $11.
Also, you can only pay for 2 of these rides per day. As long as you have a Park Hopper ticket, you don’t have to reserve the 2 rides in the same park. Once you make your reservation, you will be given a return time with a 1-hour window to get on the ride.

Note that you cannot modify your reservations for these rides once you’ve made them, meaning they can’t be changed to a different ride or canceled. If you don’t show up for your reservation, you will not be refunded. But, if the ride goes down during your time, you’ll be refunded if the reservation can’t be rescheduled.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
While Genie+ grants guests access to the Lightning Lane of 46 rides in Disney World, the Individual Attraction Selection ride list consists of only 2 high-demand rides per park. Here is a look at all of the rides that can be paid for through Individual Attraction Selection:
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train – Magic Kingdom
- Space Mountain – Magic Kingdom
- Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure – EPCOT
- Frozen Ever After – EPCOT
- Avatar Flight of Passage – Animal Kingdom
- Expedition Everest – Animal Kingdom
- Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance – Hollywood Studios
- Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway – Hollywood Studios
We do not know the prices for the other 4 rides on this list but will let you know as soon as they’re released.

If you don’t want to pay to skip the line of these rides, standby lines (or the virtual line for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure) will still be available. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney Genie news and updates!

I hope no one does this or the Genie thing then it will go away
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA SUCH AN TERIBLE IDEA,
MONEY PIT USA
Will you able to pay with a Disney giftcard on these if so how? Through a kiosk or the genie + app?
Lots of my long term Disney pass holders are now saying his is their last year as the prices at Disney are getting out of control
Ian, Disney has not yet clarified this point yet, but when it launches we’ll report on it. I suspect you may be able to, since you’re able to load gift cards into My Disney Experience in order to pay for Mobile Order currently; it doesn’t seem like too big a stretch to think that may also be possible for Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane Attraction Selections. But we do have to wait and see how it’s set up.
Disney has become way to greedy and I only hope that the average person visiting the parks decide not to pay extra for these rides and send them a clear message!
What a horror show. Next at Disney: forced to pay to stand in normal lines. Non-payment means standing in the parking lot for two hours and then only being allowed to watch YouTube videos of the attractions.
Not paying $24.00 for my husband and I to ride a 2 minute ride that we’ve experienced already. What a waste of money.
Unfortunately, there will always be enough people willing to pay, no matter how high the price. I do hope that there are enough rich families to keep Disney going, because they have already priced out low income families, and now they are pricing out the middle class.
People go there to enjoy the attractions, so why is Disney putting such strict limitations in place? Do they hope guests will shop more, eat more or do something else that will bring in lots of money? I know they’re getting more money by double charging (you pay a lot to get into the park and then pay for the rides 😰), but you can only do 2 rides a day. 😵
Any update on the Disneyland prices yet? I’m taking my niece in December.
Marie R, low income families have always been priced out of a Disney vacation.
Wow’. It’s getting way too expensive with already buying a park ticket for each family member, along with all the other vacation costs. Even planning for our Disney trips is getting so complicated and taking the fun out of it. That’s something I thought I’d never say about our annual Disney trips!
Robin, not that we’ve seen yet!
