When it reopens, Expedition Everest, among other attractions, will be included in the Disney Genie+ service and will not be included as an individual Lightning Lane selection until Aug. 7, the website states.

The towering thrill ride, tucked inside the Asia section of Animal Kingdom, closed last September for its refurbishment. It’s not immediately known what, if anything, will be different when the ride reopens.
