food IS a theme park
Well, it’s official — Disney Genie has launched at Disney World, and we have spent lots of time trying to figure out everything we could about it!
Disney Genie has launched!
And we’ve covered everything we could think of, from how smart we think Disney Genie is to how many rides we can do in a day with Genie+ to the 120-minute rule. But we also asked YOU, our DFB readers, what you think about Genie and what it can do on Instagram.
The Disney Genie service just launched in Disney World, and now you can pay for access to Lightning Lanes (previously known as FastPass+ lanes) for qualifying rides and attractions.

The Genie+ service is $15 per person, per day for over 40 different attractions, but with Individual Attraction Selection (or pay-per-ride) you pay for each ride individually, and the pay-per-ride premium attractions are 8 of the most popular rides in Disney World. So how do you decide which rides to choose? Which rides are worth the extra cost? Well, we asked you, dear readers, to vote for which Individual Attraction Selection rides you would actually pay for!
Lightning lanes. Disney Genie. Genie+. Individual Attraction Selection. There’s a LOT of new things to keep track of now that the Disney Genie system has officially debuted in Disney World!

Hey there, DFB friends! What a week it has been with the Disney Genie.
EPCOT
October 19th was the debut of the Disney Genie service in Disney World and it’s been a bit of a whirlwind while we figure out all the bells and whistles of this new service. There was also some unexpected news and experiences around Disney World this week, so let’s get into it!

Hello and welcome to another weekly Disney news roundup — this one’s a good one!
Castle views = perfection
Over the past few days, we’ve seen the debut of Disney Genie in Disney World, some BIG updates about EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts, and much more. So, without further ado, let’s jump into the biggest Disney news from this week!
Ready to help the Resistance, escape from Kylo Ren, and go on a grand Star Wars-themed adventure? Then you might be looking to hop on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Rise of the Resistance
The ride debuted some time ago, but continues to be INCREDIBLY popular. Right now, there are 2 main ways to get on this ride — through the standby lane and by purchasing an Individual Attraction Selection (pay-per-ride). But, if you REALLY want to get on this ride, you might want to take a special extra step.
Since the debut of the Disney Genie in Disney World, we’ve been experimenting with all the free AND paid features of this new service.

We want to figure out everything there is to know about the Genie service and answer ALL the questions, and a big topic of interest is how multiple guests work with Genie+. Here’s our experience!
Earlier this week, Disney Genie officially launched in Disney World, and we’ve been checking it out all week long!
Festival of the Lion King Lightning Lane
On the official launch day, we sent 5 reporters into the parks to try out Disney Genie, Genie+, and the Individual Attraction Selections. They put the new systems through some rigorous testing and we were able to find the benefits, the flaws, and learn quite a bit along the way. Here’s what happened when we tried Disney Genie for the very first time!
