food IS a theme park
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 fans usually have some pretty strong opinions about park changes.

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.
Is there ever really a BAD time to go to Disney World? A bad day in Disney World might still be more magical than an average day outside the parks, but there are certainly some times when the crowds, weather, or other factors make it a little more difficult to get things done.
It’s busy
It’s President’s Day weekend, which means that a LOT of people are visiting Disney World as they get time off of work and school. The wait times and price for Genie+ certainly reflect the large crowds! This is something you’ll need to be prepared for if you plan to go to Disney World during its busy times, including over holiday weekends and during the summer months. [Read more…]

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.
