Genie+ Reaches Record-High Price in Disney World for 2024

By 10 Comments

Can you hear this photo? Technology hasn’t quite caught up to letting us transfer SMELLS through the screen, but if you go to Disney World enough, your imagination can probably fill in the gaps. There’s something pretty darn satisfying about tapping a phone, MagicBand, smartwatch, or card against that glowing Mickey head. It feels even better when it gets you FAST access to the front of the line, too!

Scanning into a Lightning Lane (Disney World)

But, we must admit, there’s one part of this that doesn’t feel quite so good, and that’s the part where we have to PAY to skip all those lines. Yep, using the Lightning Lanes with Genie+ is NOT free, and those prices can add up quickly if you have a large group. And now that we’re in the middle of spring break, it seems like Disney is making the most of that “surge pricing” system.

NEWS: Disney Reveals NEW Nods to a Permanently CLOSED Water Park Are Coming Soon!

By 5 Comments

Soon, over 350 NEW cabins will open in Disney World. Disney previously announced that the Cabins at Fort Wilderness are getting a makeover. Yep, those classic log cabin homes are being totally redesigned to become the Disney Vacation Club Cabins at Fort Wilderness Resort (but luckily, you don’t have to be a Disney Vacation Club member to book a stay in the cabins).

The concept art shows off the modern NEW cabins,”inspired by the resort’s idyllic setting, while also paying homage to the resort’s unique culture and heritage through the magic of Disney storytelling.” These cabins are set to open this summer (along with a LOT of other things in Disney World), but first, Disney has to actually BUILD these things. This isn’t just a quick renovation, people. It’s a totally NEW design. Come take a look!
