Guests at Walt Disney World Resort have become accustomed to a whole new system over the past few months.
Disney unveiled the Disney Genie, Disney Genie+ and Lightning Lane services as a new fast pass system last fall, which means guests could pay an extra $15 per person to book attractions and use the “lightning lane” instead of waiting in the regular queue.
However, the feedback hasn’t been great.
Many Disney Park visitors were upset that they couldn’t book the attractions they wanted to get reservations and some noted inflated wait times for the rides. Others reported glitches and glitches in the app and on the opening day of Disney Genie at Disneyland Resort the feature crashed.

However, the latest feature should prove both convenient and necessary for groups traveling to Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort.
Theme park reporter Scott Gustin shared on Twitter that the Walt Disney World app has been updated to now include linking code functionality. This means guests traveling with a party, whether family or friends, can now easily link their accounts to book Disney Genie+, Lightning Lane and restaurant reservations using a simple QR code.
The Walt Disney World app has been updated and now includes a “link code” feature to make it easier to connect with family and friends. After opening your linking QR code under My Profile, a friend can scan and link your accounts to book Genie+, Lightning Lane, etc.

If you’ve ever tried adding family or friends the previous way, you know the app can be tricky and the locations can be spotty at best. This new feature will make logging in a breeze!

Disney Parks describes Genie+ like this:
For the price of $15 per ticket per day at Walt Disney World Resort and $20 per ticket per day at Disneyland Resort, choose the next available time to arrive at a variety of attractions and experiences using the Lightning Entrance Lane. You can pick one at a time, throughout the day – from classics like Haunted Mansion to thrill rides like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and new favorites like Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run (attractions subject to limited availability). This convenient option is the next evolution of Disneyland Resort’s fan-favorite Disney MaxPass service. Disney Genie+ will also include Disney Parks-themed audio experiences and photo features to capture your memories – augmented reality lenses for those visiting Walt Disney World Resort and unlimited Disney PhotoPass downloads from your day if you visit Disneyland Resort.
