food IS a theme park
Since Disney World introduced variable pricing for Genie+, it’s been difficult to predict just how much the service might cost from day to day.
Expedition Everest Lightning Lane
The more people in the park, the higher Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lines are priced. With many states around the US gearing up for spring break, chances are we’re only going to see Genie+ prices rise and maybe even sell out altogether. Let’s check out the latest Genie+ updates from Disney World this week.
Spring Break season has officially kicked off.
Cinderella Castle
That means we’re starting to see crowds in Disney World. That means guests visiting Disney World over this period will have a more difficult time making advance dining reservations, park pass reservations, and more. That also means that Genie+ is going to cost more due to demand.
Is there a way to outsmart Genie+ to get the most Lightning Lanes, the best extra perks, and the lowest prices possible? You know it!

Disney Genie is located on the My Disney Experience App and provides on-the-go planning tools and customized itineraries to help guests maximize their time in the parks. While the customized itineraries are a complimentary service, there are also two premium add-on services — Disney Genie + and Individual Lightning Lanes — that you can pay for to unlock Lightning Lane benefits (which will allow you to bypass the main queues of rides in exchange for much shorter queues).
UPDATED July 24, 2024
Spring has officially sprung in Disney World, with the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival having just kicked off.
The Flower & Garden Festival is here
Everywhere you look in EPCOT you’ll find gorgeous floral topiaries and a ton of delicious FOOD! But, did this festival bring crowds and long wait times along with it? We’re taking a look at Genie+ data to find out!
For many, Magic Kingdom is the epicenter of Disney World. Plenty of the resort’s most recognizable attractions are located in this park!
Cinderella Castle
From family-friendly rides like Mad Tea Party to thrills like Space Mountain, Magic Kingdom has a little something for everyone. It’s also the most popular park at Disney World, and even the lesser-known attractions can rack up long wait times. If you’re trying to hit every one on your wish list you may want to take advantage of Disney’s Genie+ service and use Lightning Lanes!
Disney has some HUGE things coming up in the next few months and you need to be prepared!
Magic Kingdom
EPCOT’s International Flower & Garden Festival is on its way (and FULL menus have arrived), the date has been revealed for an important Park Pass change, and we even got updates about a Big Hero 6-themed land coming to one Disney park. In other words, it’s been a busy week. But don’t worry — we’ve got all the information you need to know right here. So let’s dive into this week’s biggest news stories to get you caught up!
Holiday weekends are NO JOKE in Disney World.
Disney Genie+ allows you to book the Lightning Lane for rides.
The crowds are out in full force and wait times are high. That’s probably why Genie+ sold out for the first time ever in Disney World this weekend — and it just happened again.
Here’s proof that it’s SUPER busy in Disney World this weekend!

Typically, holiday weekends tend to bring extra crowds to the Disney World parks. And it looks like this President’s Day weekend is no exception! In fact, it’s so busy in Disney World that we just experienced a first for Disney Genie+.
It’s a holiday weekend in Disney World, and you know what that means.
Hollywood Studios
It means a three-day vacation for a lot of people, which makes them think, “Hey, let’s go to Disney World.” That means you can expect crowds, getting advance dining reservations could be tricky, and Genie+ will cost a lot more due to surge pricing based on demand. Well, Genie+ DOES cost more today.
After the dissolution of FastPass+ many guests swore they would never use Genie+.
