Genie+ is the new FastPass+
Recently, Disney made a pretty big change to its FastPass+ replacement, known as Genie+. Let’s see how the new system is working in early July!
Genie+ CHANGED recently in Disney World. Now, you purchase the service for the specific park you want to visit, meaning that Genie+ will have a different price depending on where you plan to use it. For example, it might cost $25 for Magic Kingdom on one day, but just $18 for Disney’s Animal Kingdom on that same day.
