food IS a theme park
Genie+ is GONE and Lightning Lane Multipass is HERE!
New Lightning Lane changes are coming
Disney has just dropped some MAJOR NEWS about what’s gonna happen to Lightning Lanes in just a few short weeks. So if you wanna make sure you’re not left in the dust, keep watching and we’ll fill you in on the deets.
We’re gonna need a drum roll for this because we are just one day away from a HUGE opening at Magic Kingdom!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
That’s right, the day we’ve all been waiting for, the grand opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Disney World is TOMORROW, June 28th! We have all the must-know info to get you ready for the big day.
Changes are coming! And big ones at that. Disney World recently announced some HUGE changes to their skip-the-line service, and we have all the details.
Lightning Lane changes are coming!
Just when we felt like we might have been getting the hang of Genie+, Disney World goes and changes things up again. While there are a few similarities to the current Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane services, the new Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass are also introducing a lot of changes.Â
Are you heading to the Magic Kingdom soon? If so, we need to talk!
Magic Kingdom
At the moment, I’m sure you’re juggling all the plans and preparations for the trip. Plans like which hotel you’ll be staying at and which restaurants you’ll be getting your noms from. Speaking of reservations, there’s a MAJOR issue in the My Disney Experience App that could potentially mess up your plans — especially with Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opening up in a couple of days (and we don’t want any issues for you). Let’s talk about it!
The day we’ve all been waiting for is ALMOST here!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
The grand opening of the highly anticipated attraction, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is less than a week away! And we’ve got a few important things you need to know in order to be prepared for the big day.

Disney World goes through changes what feels like every day. You take a trip and then a month later, things are different!
Magic Kingdom
Attractions close for refurbishment or reimagining, new rides open up, and we know there are some pretty big expansion plans and blue sky projects in the works for 2 of the 4 theme parks. If you’re heading to Disney World and trying to do everything you can, you may be thinking about buying Disney’s paid skip-the-line service — Genie+ (which will be renamed Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass as of July 24th, 2024). But we have some important news — CHANGES are coming to the system later this year (or have already hit the system) that you need to know about.

Crowds
