Whether Remy’s is included with Genie+ or as an Individual Lightning Lane selection depends on the time of year, however, it has been a part of Genie+ for a large chunk of 2022.

Pricing for paid individual Lightning Lane options varies by date, attraction, and park.
The boarding group process can always be implemented again when Disney feels like it’s needed. Read more about how the virtual queue worked for Remy’s Ratatouille.
History

On March 9, it was announced that Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will open on Oct. 1, 2021.
