food IS a theme park
Genie+ is more expensive than ever.
Genie+ on the My Disney Experience app
Genie+ is already a controversial feature among Disney fans since FastPass used to be complimentary. It became an even more controversial topic since Disney introduced flexible pricing based on demand in October 2022. Now, Genie+ has been selling out daily and the price has gone up to $35. Why is this? Well, we may have some answers.
It’s spring break season and so much is happening in Disney World!

Want to visit Disney World during the slow season? Well, you’re going to want to wait.

Magic Kingdom is Walt Disney World’s crowning jewel. It’s the quintessential theme park featuring memorable rides. If you are a returning guest, I bet you still remember your first visit!
Designed with six lands extending from a central hub, families spend their time traversing between Main Street U.S.A., Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, Liberty Square, Frontierland, and Adventureland. Part of the immense appeal of Magic Kingdom is the detailed theming of each area. Many attractions have multi-generational appeal, and most rides are absolutely well-suited to adults.

When is the BEST time to go to Disney World?!
Cinderella Castle
Well, that answer totally depends on YOU. Do you want to avoid crowds at all costs? Don’t visit during summer or spring break. Do you want to be in the crowds on the opening day of TRON Lightcycle / Run? Prepare for busy parks. If you are someone who is seeking lower crowds and wait times on a Disney World trip, right now might be the best time to visit Disney World!
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!
If you were hoping to visit Disney World during the slow season, you’ve officially missed out.
It’s almost EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival time!
Although crowds and wait times have really depended on whether there was a holiday or special event that week, now we’ve seen a HUGE jump in the wait times! This comes right before March which kicks off spring break season, the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, more TRON previews, and more.
Are you ready?
Crowds
If you’re heading to Disney World soon, beware! The crowds are already starting to pick back up. We saw the highest price for Genie+ we have in WEEKS and that price is based on demand. We’ve also noticed more crowds in the parks as people flock to Disney World for the holiday weekend. Spring break is right around the corner as well. But what were the wait times like in the calm before the storm?
