food IS a theme park
It’s official — spring break crowds seem to be disappearing from Disney World!
Magic Kingdom Crowds
This may be a relief for many Florida locals, who have been dealing with Lightning Lanes selling out, and Magic Kingdom so crowded park hopping was paused. But how do we know for sure? Well, Genie+ has just dropped 20% in Disney World!Â

My flight almost RUINED the first day of my recent Disney World vacation, and it’s one mistake I will NOT make again.
Flights
You might think that I’m talking about flight delays or cancelations, and those can certainly put a damper on your vacation plans, but this problem had to do with Disney Genie+! I recently tried to book Genie+ Lightning Lanes while I was in the air on my way to the parks, and next time, I’m planning my flights differently. [Read more…]
Using Disney Genie+ can be incredibly helpful during your Disney World vacation, but it can also be a PAIN.
Genie+
Learning how to navigate the app, not knowing the price for Genie+ in advance, and trying to snag Lightning Lanes for the popular rides that book up FAST can be pretty overwhelming. There’s just so much to take in! And on top of that, sometimes the My Disney Experience app just has random glitches that cause issues.
Disney World has been very crowded the last couple of weeks, which means longer wait times in the parks and high prices for Disney Genie+!
Crowds
There are a few specific reasons why the parks are so crowded right now, which we’ll get into in a minute, but we just got solid proof that Disney World is busier than normal at the moment: The Multi-Park option for Disney Genie+ SOLD OUT today! [Read more…]
It’s been a few years since Disney Genie, Disney Genie+, and Individual Lightning Lanes debuted in Disney World, but you know what? It’s STILL very confusing to a lot of people!
TRON Lighting Lane
We get it — sometimes we get confused, too, especially when Disney changes something about the service. Basically, Disney Genie is just a free planning tool to help you navigate your day in the parks, while Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes are ways to pay to skip standby lines at many rides and access the Lightning Lane. However, the Individual Lightning Lane option is separate from Genie+ (we told you it was confusing). So, we’re going to try to clear up the rules you need to know about the Individual Lightning Lane option.
Disney Genie+ is CHANGING temporarily in Disneyland tomorrow!
Disney Genie
Genie+ is the skip-the-line service that guests can buy in Disneyland and Disney World. Once you buy it for the day, you can make Lightning Lane reservations throughout the day to skip the normal standby lines and save time! Only certain attractions are included with Genie+, and the list for Disneyland Park is changing tomorrow, January 22nd.
