Disney Parks Offer Chance to Skip Lines and It Will Cost You
- Company will charge $15 or more for access to smaller lines
- Mobile service will suggest rides, restaurants based on data
Walt Disney Co. unveiled a new ride reservation system at its U.S. theme parks that lets guests willing to pay extra enjoy shorter lines for some of the most-sought-after attractions.
The Genie+ service that debuts this fall will cost $15 or $20 a day at U.S. theme parks, Disney said Wednesday, on top of the usual admission. Guests will get faster access to more than 15 attractions in the California parks, like the Haunted Mansion and the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and over 40 in Florida via a special line called the Lightning Lane. For an additional fee, visitors can also reserve a spot at two of the most-popular rides at each resort.
