The first round of price changes has taken effect for most of the new Lightning Lane attractions at Walt Disney World that are not included with Disney Genie+.

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train has increased by $2 on Friday

At Disney's Hollywood Studios, Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway has increased by $2 to $10.

Avatar Flight of Passage has increased by $3 to $14.

At EPCOT, both Frozen Ever After and Remy's Ratatouille Adventure have increased by $2 to $11.

Finally, at Magic Kingdom, Space Mountain is up by $2 to $9, and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is up by $2 to $12.

Space Mountain costs $2 more to ride using the Lightning Lane today

Disney said during the announcement of Disney Genie that "Prices will vary by date, attraction and park," so the price changes are not unexpected.

Lol, how I long for the days when it was $15…

Doesn't include the more popular attractions. You have to pay even more to access the lightening lane per ride for those attractions. Total money grab! Disney is pricing themselves out of existence .

So now that the changes to DAS have been announced, any idea on how far away we are from getting news about pre-booking G+ selections?

I think you are right. This is the new floor. Remember how low the prices were when it started

@tanc is talking about LL Bean's return policy that was changed a few years back.

What legendary return policy? Are you talking about for legacy paper FP many years ago? Or something else?

I’m curious to see if Genie- prices drop further to the old minimums or if these become the new “floor”.

If OP was referring to the mix ratio with the 80% figure, that determines how many LL guests pass through the merge point at any given time versus standby. There will still be the same number of guests who ultimately choose to experience the attraction via either standby or LL whether they let 20 LL guests through the merge point for every one standby or 50. If the suggestion is that 80% of a "popular" attraction's total guests throughout the day are LL guests, I don't know of any in which that is the case.

But the ratio of people that get on the ride via Standby or LL throughout a day (on average) must be the same ratio of people that get in the line...

Individual Lightning Lane price drops alongside lower Genie+ cost at Walt Disney World https://www.wdwmagic.com/other/disney-genie/news/08apr2024-individual-lightning-lane-price-drops-alongside-lower-genie-cost-at-walt-disney-world.htm

I believe the figures you are referring to are the mix ratios of LL vs standby guests at the merge point, which can fluctuate throughout the day. These ratios do not themselves determine the types of guests (Genie+ vs Standby) who will ultimately choose to get in line and experience a specific attraction.

It took me a very long time to parse this post because my brain stubbornly insisted on reading “LL” as “Lightning Lane” every time, which made me assume “bean” was some sort of typo, and I could not for the life of me figure out what you were trying to say. Thankfully it eventually clicked.

It’s been reported on this site and others that the LL entrance at any popular attraction accounts for 75-80% of that ride’s capacity because the LL is heavily favored. Having the other 20-25 percent scan at a separate entrance shouldn’t be much of an issue.
