It’s the most wonderful (and busy/hectic/wild) tiiiime of the yeeeear! 🎶
Yep, over the past week, we officially entered the holiday season at Disney World, Thanksgiving came and went, and now, we have our sights set on Christmas and the New Year. In case you weren’t at Disney World this week to witness all the chaos that the start of the holiday season involves, this post is for you!Â
Genie+ has had its fair share of ups and downs since it first debuted.
We’ve seen rides added and removed, price increases, changes to when you can purchase it, and more. A while back, we learned that two more rides would be added to the lineup over in Disneyland, and now we finally know just when one will arrive!
Let’s face it — Disney World can be consistently inconsistent.
Here at DFB, we’re on the lookout for daily changes at the parks, both enormous and subtle. The constant we’ve noticed is that the parks are always changing. This comes as no surprise, as this was ultimately a plan of Walt Disney’s when he opened his first park in Anaheim. Still, as cool as it is to see the parks change and evolve over time, these modifications and adjustments can create some challenges when it comes to trip planning.
It’s no secret to anyone how much we love Disney. We talk about it all day, every day, for our jobs!
However, there are plenty of aspects of Disney vacations that stress us out — huge crowds, long lines, and high prices, just to name a few. Some of these grind our gears so much that we’re calling for them to be BANNED in Disney World.
So you’ve planned out your perfect Disney World trip.
Your flight is booked, you’ve chosen your hotel, you’ve bought your tickets. You might also be figuring out your budget, which may include purchasing Genie+, which allows you to skip the standby lines at many of Disney World’s rides. But before you hit that “buy now” on Genie+, we want to warn you about something.
Even though it’s been around for a few years now, Genie+ is still quite controversial in Disney World and Disneyland.
We totally get why — it’s not free and therefore can add a really large additional charge onto your expenses, BUT we also know many guests who enjoy the service more than FastPass or FastPass+. The service certainly has its pros and cons, and unfortunately, it looks like another con could be on its way — here’s why you may want to expect Genie+ to get more expensive in Disney World soon.
It’s getting a little complicated to use Genie+ in Disney World right now.
Or at least, it’s getting difficult to predict just how much you’ll have to shell out for Genie+ in Disney World right now. Prices have remained relatively steady for the past few months, but with the holiday season coming up — all bets are off. Here’s what you need to know about Genie+ if you’re heading to the parks soon.
Well, to say things are getting busy in Disney World is an understatement.
The crowds have arrived in FULL force this weekend, and the first sign we knew it was going to be busy was seeing the price of Genie+ go up to its highest in over a month. Well, today, that price has gone even HIGHER, so we expect to see even MORE people in the parks today.
Heading to Disney World in the near future?
It’s a good idea to be prepared for the unexpected. Transportation can get delayed, rides can shut down because of technical difficulties, and technology can malfunction. Occasionally, we’ve seen the My Disney Experience app have some trouble, and this week it seems to be struggling again.
