Just when we thought that we were getting the hang of things and had a good system going with when to purchase Genie+ and what rides to use it for, Disney went and announced that it would be changing. At first, we thought we had found a HUGE problem with the change, but we actually think it might be a solution after all.
Oh, Genie+. One moment we’re watching the price skyrocket; the next, we’re celebrating a lower cost for Disney’s service to skip the standby lines. We get it. There have been a lot of changes to Genie+ since it was first introduced. Some changes are surprisingly good, while others are…not so great.

One of the latest changes to hit Disney’s Genie+ service is a new multi-park option for guests hoping to use Genie+ in multiple parks on the same day. In the past, the price to use Genie+ was the same for all four parks, but now the cost of Genie+ may vary from park to park, or guests can buy the new multi-park option to use Genie+ in multiple parks. The change went live on June 27th, but now let’s check to see how things are looking after the big debut.

Today, we’re answering all of your questions about the recent changes.
