REAL TALK: Genie+ Does Work, and It's (Usually) Worth It

REAL TALK: Genie+ Does Work, and It’s (Usually) Worth It

Are you confused about using Disney Genie+ in Disney World?

Trust me, you are not alone. At DFB, we get questions every day about Disney’s paid service that helps you “skip the line” on some attractions. LOTS and LOTS of you (and maybe some of the team here, too) really miss its predecessor FastPass+, which seemed simpler (not to mention FREE). But we’ve used Genie+ a whole lot now, and I’m here today to reassure you that it works, and using it is simpler than reading about HOW to use it. For real!

This Could Be One of The BEST Deals Your Disney Visa Can Get You

By Robin Burks 1 Comment

Do you have a Disney Visa? We’re guessing that a lot of DFB readers probably do. First, a Disney Visa card can help earn you money for Disney trips because you earn points for every purchase you make and you can redeem those points for redemption rewards you can use on Disney trips, merchandise, and more.

Plus, the Disney Visa designs are AMAZING — who else is going to let you carry around a credit card with Darth Vader on it? The card can also score you exclusive character meet and greets in the parks. Plus there are tons of OTHER discounts the card can get you, including a new one that could be the adventure of a lifetime.

By Myranda Juarez 3 Comments

Sometimes things are so good you just have to go and revisit them. While we’ve tried everywhere to eat (and drink) around Disney World, we’ve been known to revert back every once in a while to retry a few of our favorites.

Garden House here we come!

This sparked an idea to revisit an “oldie but a goodie” classic stop around EPCOT’s World Showcase’s restaurants that hasn’t failed us in the past. Could Japan’s Garden House stand the test of time? We couldn’t wait to find out! [Read more…]
