We’re getting ready to ring in the New Year in Disney World, and things are pretty busy right now!
Happy New Year!
We’re getting ready to say goodbye to the holiday season and hello to 2024. We’re already diving into some special New Year’s snacks and navigating all the crowds, but let’s take a look at something else today that we bet you’ll be interested in — the price of Genie+.
So we already knew that New Year’s Eve was going to be a VERY busy day in the parks. How do we know? Well, it’s New Year’s Eve! But also, we know because park pass availability for three parks, Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT are completely gone for the day. That means those parks are likely going to reach capacity. That’s a LOT of people, y’all.

So what does that mean in terms of Genie+? Well, it means that there’s high demand for Genie+, so that means the price is going to be higher. Just how high? Well, on New Year’s Eve, the price of Genie+ is $39 for Magic Kingdom and Multiple Parks, $32 for EPCOT, $35 for Hollywood Studios, and $29 for Animal Kingdom.

The cost for Individual Lightning Lane for rides is also pretty high today — even with all ILLs but Cosmic Rewind selling out by 9:30AM :
- Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind: $17
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train: $12
- Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance: $25
- Avatar Flight of Passage: $16
- TRON Lightcycle / Run: $20
TRON Lightcycle / Run
With so many people in the parks, ride wait times are going to be higher, so if you can nab Genie+ and those Individual Lightning Lanes for rides that are your priorities, you’ll end up saving a lot of time. Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide if it’s worth the cost to spend less time in lines, though.
We’ll be keeping an eye on things at the parks and reporting back in throughout the day, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

Just ANOTHER reason Disney angers me! You buy an expensive ticket to get in a park but, wait! Now you get to pay MORE to ride rides with a relatively reasonable wait time…maybe…
Disney just needs to get it over and done with on the prices for genie + already. A standardized $100 – $200 per park per day should suffice. Knowing that honestly the greatest multitude of people visiting are diehard fans, they will gladly pay. As well, this will ensure that the feeling of entitlement for those fans is well earned.
