What We’re DREADING about Disney World This Summer

By Madeleine Zaharchuk 4 Comments

Lately, it seems like every time we turn around, there’s a new price increase or exorbitant price tag attached to a Disney experience (looking at you, Galactic Starcruiser!). Just when we got used to paying extra for airport transportation, Disney made FastPasses an additional fee. Then, just when we got used to paying extra to skip the lines, Disney introduced surge pricing on its Genie+ service. It’s not cheap to visit Disney World, that’s for sure!

The Magic Kingdom can get SUPER busy around the holidays!

With all the recent price increases, we’re left wondering, if Genie+ hit $35 and sold out this spring, how high will the price go this summer?

We tested it out in Disney World.
