food IS a theme park
Happy November, friends! As we get closer to the end of 2021, we thought we should look back and reflect on everything that happened in Disney World in October!
It’s the holiday season!
Last month was a BUSY time for Disney World: we kicked off the 50th Anniversary celebration, started using Disney Genie, and learned SO much about how to be successful in Disney World going forward! Now, let’s take a look at the biggest things we found out in Disney World in October.
As the Genie once said (or sang), “You got some power in your corner now”: Disney Genie+ has arrived in Disney World. Between Disney’s two new paid services, Individual Attraction Selection (IAS or pay-per-ride) and Genie+, guests can now skip the lines at many of their favorite attractions and let Disney’s Genie service plan their day.

After a long period of speculation and waiting, we were finally able to test out Disney’s new paid FastPass+ replacement systems today! One important thing to note is that there is a limited number of Individual Attraction Selections available per day and they can sell out. So the question is: how quickly did the first Individual Attraction Selection option sell out today?
On October 19th, Disney World is introducing a new planning system called Disney Genie, along with the paid replacement for FastPass+, Disney Genie+.

Disney Genie+ will cost guests $15 per ticket, per day in Disney World ($20 per ticket, per day in Disneyland Resort when it arrives later on) and will allow guests to skip the long waits for select attractions by using the Lightning Lanes. But, if you’re used to using Disney’s FastPass+ system, there are some differences with Genie+ that may surprise you!
