To say that things in Disney World have been busy recently is an understatement.
Lots of people in Magic Kingdom right now
First, the crowds are coming back into the parks — we had a bit of a slow season in late summer, but fall is bringing people back in droves. Then we had a TON of price increases hit the parks. Genie+ has also gone up in price PLUS the price is dependent on the day of your trip. But what else has been going on, specifically in Magic Kingdom? Let’s find out!
