Whenever Disney drops new limited edition or limited release collections, it seems that people FLOCK to the theme parks.

IMPORTANT NOTE!! Major changes are being made to the Genie+ system in Disney World starting July 24th, 2024. This post reflects the current Genie+ system that will remain in place through July 23rd, 2024. For our full page of information about the CHANGES coming to the system (which will go into effect on July 24th, 2024), click here. You can also click here to see our breakdown of Disney World’s NEW Lightning Lane System in Under 1,000 Words.

In 2021, the free FastPass+ system was officially discontinued and replaced by the Disney Genie system — specifically the paid Disney Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selection (IAS) options at both Disney World and Disneyland Resort.

But it’s still a HUGE change with a bit of a learning curve and MORE changes are coming soon. Confused about how to use Genie+ in the parks? Want to learn about the changes coming to Genie+ soon?
