food IS a theme park
By the end of the year, ALL of the current Disney World resorts will have reopened!
Animal Kingdom Lodge
Even though we are still waiting on a few more resorts to reopen, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is set to reopen to all guests VERY soon on August 26th! Before that date, Boma is reopening with a buffet and an updated menu. Now, we know another spot at the resort is reopening soon!

We’ve had some time to master the Disney Genie service.

If you don’t already know, the service is available on the Disneyland App and My Disney Experience, and is a tool for Disney guests to use when planning their vacations. We’ve used Genie+, the personalized itinerary, and more, but here are the FIVE most MIND-BLOWING features.
The free Disney Genie Service and its 2 related paid services (Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selection) have officially arrived in both Disney World and Disneyland.

We’ve shared some of the details about the FREE Disney Genie planning service and how it can help you tailor your day in the parks, but the service also offers some good perks to help coordinate all of your dining needs!

The new service will feature things like forecasted future wait times and a personalized itinerary. It also will take over for the FastPass+ and MaxPass systems, and replace them with new paid services. Disney also announced that they are enhancing their Disability Access Service program.
We are learning a LOT about Disney Genie today and we’re EXTRA interested in Genie+, the PAID Fastpass+ and MaxPass replacement.
Disneyland
Genie+ will be the new offering in Disney World and Disneyland that lets guests skip the standby line and go straight into a Lightning Lane (AKA former FASTPASS queue) to access attractions. It’s the next generation of MaxPass as it is a paid offering, but how is it different from MaxPass? Let’s take a look.
October 1st is a BIG day at Walt Disney World.
We’re ready for this area to OPEN!
October 1st marks the 50th Anniversary for Walt Disney World and a number of experiences will become available on that day. One of the things that will be available for guests to enjoy on October 1st is Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. And today we got a big update about how guests will be able to experience this ride.
FastPass+ and MaxPass have gone away, and 2 NEW, paid services have taken over at Disney World and Disneyland.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is an Individual Lightning Lane Attraction
Disney Genie, Genie+, and Individual Attraction Selection are the ways of the (Disney) World now, and we’ve had a chance to learn all there is to know. The services are available for all guests to use, but guests staying in Disney World Resort Hotels get an extra perk when it comes to one particular service. We’re taking a look at that perk and whether or not its worth booking a hotel room!
We are learning a LOT about the new Disney Genie service coming soon to Disney World and Disneyland.
Main Street, U.S.A.
The new service will be built into the My Disney Experience and Disneyland apps and will feature a LOT of new tools for Disney guests. We’re talking forecasted future wait times, a virtual assistant, a personalized itinerary, and more! So, how is it that Disney Genie is going to act as your personal assistant?
By now, many Disney World and Disneyland guests are pretty familiar with Genie+.
Rise of the Resistance Lightning Lane
The paid service has replaced both FastPass+ and MaxPass in Disney World and Disneyland. And while Genie+ allows you to bypass the standby queue on most attractions, you’ll still need to pay a separate fee to do so on more popular rides, via Individual Attraction Selection AKA Individual Lightning Lanes. But, why might you want to do this, and how would you do it? We’re breaking down the information you need to know here!
