UK guests can pre-purchase Genie+ (the paid replacement for Fastpass+. See What Is Disney Genie, Genie+ And Lightning Lanes? Disney Genie Explained) at a discounted rate. It costs $15 per guest per day if you pay in the app on the day, but if you buy in advance on a 14-day ticket, you can get Genie+ for just £6.99/Day (£97.86 per ticket). That's 9 days for the price of 14.
If you already bought tickets
If you bought your Walt Disney World tickets before November 3rd, 2021, you have the old "Ultimate Tickets". Unfortunately, Genie+ cannot be added to these. What you can do though, is change the tickets to new "Magic Tickets" (see Disney Introduces UK "Magic Tickets" To Replace "Ultimate Tickets"). The two main differences with the new "Magic Tickets" is having to declare a start date, and seasonal pricing (see New "Magic Ticket" Season Pricing Explained). If your holiday dates are in the peak season dates, you will have to pay the difference, and then you can add the discounted Genie+ to them.
You can contact your ticket vendor or travel agent to start the process. If you booked your tickets direct through Disney or part of a holiday package, you have to call Disney on 0800 169 0730 (if booked through Disney Holidays UK) to change your "Ultimate Tickets" to "Magic Tickets". When this is done, you can add Genie+.
If you are about to purchase tickets
All tickets sold after November 3rd will be the new Disney Magic Tickets. You can add Genie+ to these. You can buy your tickets online direct through Disney and tick the checkbox to add Genie+. Or you can buy through a UK ticket vendor and only pay a small deposit upfront and choosing the "Disney's 14 for 7 Magic Ticket with Genie+ 2022" ticket.
