Pop quiz! What happens when Disney World reaches Park Pass reservation capacity, Genie+ reaches a record-high price, and crowds flood the parks and resorts? Let us show you.
OK, first, a little background. On December 27th, Disney World was BUSY. Park Pass reservations completely sold out at all four parks, which essentially means the parks reached capacity. Additionally, it was $39 to use Genie+ at multiple parks or Magic Kingdom. That’s $39 per person for one day — a new record-high price based on Disney’s surge pricing system. So, what happens when this perfect storm of events happens in one day? Let’s take a look.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios was BUSY on December 27th. In fact, Genie+ officially sold out shortly after noon.
When Genie+ sells out at any of the four parks, the multiple parks option is also marked unavailable. So, if you were planning to park hop on December 27th and didn’t buy the multiple parks option first thing in the morning, you may have been stuck purchasing Genie+ separately for multiple parks.
Genie+ access at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom was still available later in the day. Genie+ was $39 at Magic Kingdom, $32 at EPCOT, and $29 at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Genie+ sold out at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at a record-high price of $35.Â
UPDATE:Â On December 28th,
We have a feeling the crowds will stick around between now and New Year’s Day, so if you’re headed to Disney World, prepare for long lines. In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more.
