'Disney Stars at Red Carpet Dreams' at Disney's Hollywood Studios has been removed from the Disney Genie+ Lightning Lane line-up at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

The Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse meet and greet began offering Lightning Lane access via Disney Genie+ on March 11 2022 and was removed end of May 12 2022. We understand the Lightning Lane was causing operational challenges and the decision was made to revert to a single queue. The Olaf meet and greet remains available as a Genie+ selection.

Red Carpet Dreams reopened with Minnie Mouse in late November 2021 as indoor meet and greets returned to Walt Disney World.

Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage
Disney Junior Play & Dance!

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.

Just purchased my lightning lanes for my trip. Got all the rides I wanted :) (some are a bit later but gonna keep refreshing). Seemed like a pretty decent experience, everything worked the way i thought it would atleast

If I was a local AP holder I would not purchase LLMP, because, yeah, you’re right, you can duck in and out whenever you want and ride the occasional ride when waits are low. But as an out of stater who is paying thousands for flights, hotels, rental car, etc, you better believe I’m shelling out the extra $30ish per person per day so that I don’t spend my (limited) time in the parks standing in line.

No, if I felt we needed the LLMP for MK, I would have bought it. But we're visiting the park so many times, especially at night, that it seemed like we were likely to make it on everything.

This also ignores that many people will simply just... not ride a line after a certain wait time? Like yeah, it might be a miniscule shorter line, because it doesn't have the same amount of guests going through the line anyway. There's many reasons to attribute to a relatively minor increase and even if that, if the FP increases lines by 5-10 minutes or less but allows certain people to complete their day while the people that don't pay MAY have to wait 5 minutes more, what is the problem? They have the option to wait still...

To me Genie knowing the drops times made it so much easier which im assuming most vets on this board knew about & it didnt even require a true early rope drop.

That is similar to our situation when we started going. We got so much done with FP+ and early arrivals. The kids were so spoiled almost never waiting in line. We didn’t get as much done with Genie or the current setup but that’s because Disney won’t allow repeat rides anymore.

May i ask a question and feel free to tell me to mind my own business. But is passing on paying for LLMP or ILL a money or principle issue? Listen i agree i hate to pay for anything that use to be free and im a man of principle more than anything but im also not going to bite my nose to spite my face.

We’ve never had a bad trip going that way, but we are a much smaller party of two. Again, your best bet is to take advantage of early morning and late night hours. Get up early, get to the parks when they open, take a nice break in the afternoon back at the room when the parks are busy and hot, go to dinner, and enjoy the cooler and less crowded evening hours, especially during parades and fireworks if you like. If you are staying at a luxury resort, you will have an extra advantage of certain exclusive hours throughout the week. For one person, it’s difficult to justify the price increase from a value or moderate resort to a deluxe for that perk, but it becomes easier to justify when you have more people staying in the room.

I've got LLSP for Tron, so that's covered. We'll just have to take our chances, I guess.

We haven't had to buy it for MK, but we do go a different time of year so not sure how well in translates over.

Tony the Tigger2 days ago

Everything except Tron (not included in MP anyway, averages 1 hour wait.)

Disgruntled Walt2 days ago

I didn't buy MK LLMP for any day of our trip, but we're spending 1 day and 3 nights at MK, so I figure we'll have plenty of chances to get on everything...am I wrong?

Splash4eva2 days ago

Rope dropping to me still holds if you are looking to avoid wait times and avoid paying for any services Disney offers. Same pretty much holds true towards end of night as well. Its about one of the fee constants at the world over the years…

Sitting in MCO right now. Went to the parks with my daughter for a day to see TSI for the first and last time. We purchased MK LLMP but had hoppers and arrived at the park at 10am. Because of an extra $60 purchase we did: SM Tron (Standby) Pirates HM TSI JC RnRC MMRR ToT Falcon (Could have done Midway Mania) Remy (Could have done SSE and Soarin) TBA Pan Buzz CoP We chose not to do any of the other rides (we decided to eat or have snacks or watch fireworks) but they were short waits. Could have done Mine Train standby. Point being is that the extra $60 afforded us the ability to maximize the hoppers, have a great day and also have a sit down meal at Shiki Sai. Never had to wait more than 10-15m for a ride. I say that has incredible value.
