The free Disney Genie service is a planning tool that is meant to help optimize your day in the parks, help you plan the best path for your day, show you wait times, help with dining arrangements, and more. This free service is meant to be very smart and useful in terms of really helping you get the most out of your day, but just how smart is it? We put it to the test and here’s what we’ve found.
Disney Genie launched in Disney World yesterday, and we tested out all of the new features.

There is the free Genie, which helps you plan your day in the parks, and there is also Genie+, which costs $15 per day, per person and has replaced the FastPass+ system in Disney World. There are also individual rides that you can pay to skip the line of using the Lightning Lane (old FastPass+ lane). These include 2 high-demand rides in each park and they vary in price, which can also change based on demand. These rides can also sell out of their Lightning Lane passes for the day, which has already happened to one ride in Disney World today!
Well, the day has finally arrived — Disney Genie has officially launched at Disney World.

And we’re still learning the ins and outs of using the service which helps guests figure out what their priorities are and plan their days at the parks. Guests can buy Genie+, which allows you to skip the line at lots of Disney World attractions, or you can also pay an extra fee for select rides through Individual Attraction Selection. You’ll find all these features on the My Disney Experience app.
Disney Genie+ JUST debuted in Disney World, and we have so many tips to share with you!

With Genie+, the free Disney Genie system, and Individual Attraction Selection, there’s a lot to learn these days and that can be a hefty task. Is it worth it to navigate the complicated waters of the new tech? Well, today we challenged ourselves to see how many rides we could do in one day using Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selection (pay-per-ride) to find the answer to that question!
Hello, DFB friends! It’s time for another edition of what’s new at Magic Kingdom.
Cinderella Castle
Magic Kingdom continues to add more 50th anniversary merchandise and there’s more construction, so let’s discuss!
We’ve already tried a bunch of Halloween-themed treats in Disney World.
Pumpkin in the Magic Kingdom
There have been very chocolate-y Haunted Manson-themed treats, a refreshing Frozen Apple Cider, and even an over-the-top candy corn shake. (And that’s just in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!) The newest Halloween treat is coming to EPCOT instead! [Read more…]
We’ve been pretty jazzed about the latest addition to EPCOT’s American Adventure Pavilion, as “The Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure” exhibit arrived on a high note earlier this year.
Soul exhibit at EPCOT
If you’ve seen Pixar’s Soul, you’ll know that the film dives into the beauty of jazz music. And, it was only fitting for the matching exhibit to give visitors a “tour” of the cities that originated the genre and caused jazz to become so popular. However, that movement is continuing because the “The Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure” won’t ONLY be exclusive to Disney World anymore!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
