food IS a theme park
Now that Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selection (Pay-Per-Ride) have launched in Disney World, there are more ways than ever to get on attractions.

You can use the standby line, you can pay for Genie+ to skip the lines on certain attractions, or you can pay a separate fee for the most popular attractions to skip the lines there. But one more option is still available in the Disney World parks!
The day has officially arrived — Disney Genie has made its debut in Disney World. And, of course, we’re giving you a look at how Genie, Genie+, and Individual Attraction Selection is changing the game when it comes to your visit.

If you’re still not entirely sure what Disney Genie is, don’t worry. There are two versions of the new mobile feature: one is a planning tool that’s entirely free to guests, and another is the paid Genie+ feature, which is the replacement for FastPass. We’re here to break down everything happening with Disney Genie, and right now we’re giving you a full look at how to use the new free service!
It’s Disney Genie day, everyone! And, we are giving you a FULL look at how the new planning tool is changing Disney World moving forward.

So far, we’ve shared a first look at how to buy Genie+, Individual Attraction Selection, and an unexpected cost. But, we’ve got yet another Disney Genie feature you’ll want to see before your next trip to Disney World!
If you thought waking up at 7AM to get a boarding group for Rise of the Resistance (back when the ride only used boarding groups) or (more recently) Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure was stressful, GET READY.

Recently, Disney World launched its NEW Genie, Genie+, and Individual Attraction Selection Services — the last 2 essentially serving as paid replacements for FastPass+. And on the launch day for these new services, 7AM became a whole other ball game.
We might be obsessed with all things Disney FOOD, but the rides and attractions have their place too!

Whether you’re a fan of the classics or a thrill ride junkie (or anything in between), Disney World has a ride for you. But what do you think your favorite Disney World attraction says about you? We’re here to let you know! And we’ll also give you some ideas for your next shopping trip, based on your favs.
As the Genie once said (or sang), “You got some power in your corner now”: Disney Genie+ has arrived in Disney World. Between Disney’s two new paid services, Individual Attraction Selection (IAS or pay-per-ride) and Genie+, guests can now skip the lines at many of their favorite attractions and let Disney’s Genie service plan their day.

After a long period of speculation and waiting, we were finally able to test out Disney’s new paid FastPass+ replacement systems today! One important thing to note is that there is a limited number of Individual Attraction Selections available per day and they can sell out. So the question is: how quickly did the first Individual Attraction Selection option sell out today?
Sometimes you just wanna chow down on hearty, cheesy, carby, Italian food, ammiright?

Guess we better head on over to Disney World to review a few Italian bites! We’re headed to Terralina Crafted Italian in Disney Springs to try out some fare created by James Beard Award Winner Chef Tony Mantuano. Plus, we can check out some of the current safety measures and changes. Let’s DIVE in!
Disney Genie just launched in Disney World, and we’re bringing you along with us as we try out all the new features.

Genie is the new planning tool that is available through My Disney Experience. It also includes Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selections, which have replaced FastPass+ in the parks and cost money. We already knew about the cost of Genie+ and select Individual Attractions, but we discovered an unexpected cost today when purchasing these features through Genie.
UPDATED July 24, 2024
Disney Genie launched in Disney World back in October of 2021, and it has definitely brought some big changes to the parks!

The service, which is offered through the My Disney Experience app, helps guests plan their days at Disney World in a way that hasn’t been possible through the app before. It also offers a paid service that has replaced the former free FastPass+ system — Disney Genie+. We’re here to tell you exactly how to purchase Genie+ from your phone in the easiest way possible!
Disney Genie+ which is Disney’s FastPass replacement, is here. If you miss skipping the lines at all your favorite attractions, you can now do so with the help of Disney Genie+. But wait, there’s more! While guests will be able to purchase Genie+ and ride most rides with a shorter line, not all attractions are available through Genie+. That’s where the new Individual Attraction Selection (IAS) system comes into play.

The Individual Attraction Selection system uses surge pricing and allows guests to pay-per-ride. Keep in mind that you don’t have to pay to ride the IAS attractions; there will still be a virtual or standby queue. Now that you’ve got the idea, you might be wondering how to purchase an Individual Attraction Selection. Let’s break it down. 🕺
