From new 50th merchandise, decorations, food, and entertainment, there’s a lot to do in Disney World right now. And along with all of this excitement, you might have missed this little detail that changed in the My Disney Experience app!
You don’t need us to tell ya that Disney World has some hardcore fans.

And those fans tend to have an unspoken list of classic rides, top eats, and popular opinions that are generally undisputed. That’s just how it goes! But what if you DON’T agree? Well, we may be right there with you! Here are 10 things Disney fans are too afraid to say…but a lot of ‘em may be thinking it. 😉
We don’t know about you, but we are excited that Disney Cruise Line has set sail again after over a year of being shuttered during the global health crisis.

We forget this sometimes after neverending planning, budgeting, and preparing but going to Disney World is meant to be a VACATION. It is a destination meant to leave us relaxed, invigorated, and an escape from the pressure of the everyday. But, as we know, it can also be a little stressful at times!
Goofy gets it
Sure, there are things that happen that are out of our control (like bad weather or ride closures), there are things we can plan for, like days when we know the parks might be crowded, during a season with notoriously bad weather, or days when park pass reservations are full. But here’s the thing: there’s a reason that these days are stressful.
Another week has gone by and we’ve got LOTS of Disney news to share with you.

From a new Star Wars experience coming to Disney Cruise Line, to all kinds of 50th Anniversary updates, join us now as we go through the BIG Disney news stories from this week that you need to know about!

While the main part of Genie is the free portion that helps you plan your Disney World trip, one of the new paid features launching with the program is Individual Attraction Selection, or pay-per-ride.

We’ve learned a lot about this pay-per-ride system, but Disney just announced more important information that you need to know if you’re going to pay for these individual rides.
By now you may have heard of the Disney Genie program, which is a new service in the My Disney Experience app for Disney World that helps guests plan their trip with free personalized itineraries.

There are two paid service options with Disney Genie — the first is Genie+, which is $15 per ticket, per day and will allow you to make reservations to skip the line of rides, similar to how you previously did with FastPass+. The other paid service is Individual Attraction Selection, or the pay-per-ride service, which will allow guests to skip the line of high-demand rides NOT included with Genie+ by paying for them individually. And now, Disney has officially announced what each ride will cost! [Read more…]
