Disney Tips Your Guide To A Great Disney Vacation
The Disney Genie+ and individual Lightning Lanes seem like they are here to stay at both Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort. But would you be interested in paying a one-time fee for an ultimate “FastPass” package?
When visiting Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, or Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Guests can expect to pay $15 per person per day for Disney Genie+, an upcharge service to skip the lines at select attractions. At Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, Disney Genie+ is $15 per person per day.
In addition to Disney Genie+, each Disney Park has individual Lightning Line attractions that are NOT available via Disney Genie+, but Guests can pay a fluctuating one-time fee to skip the line for that popular attraction.
Disneyland Paris, however, has set off on their own with a one-time fee to skip the lines.

In Summer 2022, Disneyland Paris Resort was the first Disney Park to introduce what they call “Disney Premier Access Ultimate,” a pack of one-time expedited access to each of the 12 attractions. The fee for such a pass was based on attendance but started at €90/day, which is roughly $96.
Fast forward to just months later, and the Disney Park has DOUBLED the initial cost of the Disney Premier Access Ultimate package.
@DLPReport took to social media to share, “Meanwhile the Disney Premier Access Ultimate package flexible pricing will reach new heights with a whopping €190 per day per Guest during the French schools holiday period: Oct 22-Nov 5.”
The price jump to €190 per day per Guest is roughly $189.
Currently, Disneyland Paris is offering two line skipping options. First, there is the “Disney Premier Access One” which gives Guests the chance to skip the line once on a single attraction at an allocated time slot. This is similar to how Disney World’s individual Lightning Lane attractions work.
The second option is the “Disney Premier Access Ultimate,” which allows one time on each available attraction without time slots. Of course, this “Ultimate” access comes with the hefty price tag mentioned above.

We are curious to see if Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort seek a one-time fee pack such as Disneyland Paris. But, with the price of $189 (and still possible to fluctuate) on top of an already expensive Park ticket… we would likely just stick to waiting in the standby line as usual.
