Genie+ Reaches Record-High Price in Disney World for 2024

By 10 Comments

Can you hear this photo? Technology hasn’t quite caught up to letting us transfer SMELLS through the screen, but if you go to Disney World enough, your imagination can probably fill in the gaps. There’s something pretty darn satisfying about tapping a phone, MagicBand, smartwatch, or card against that glowing Mickey head. It feels even better when it gets you FAST access to the front of the line, too!

But, we must admit, there’s one part of this that doesn’t feel quite so good, and that’s the part where we have to PAY to skip all those lines. Yep, using the Lightning Lanes with Genie+ is NOT free, and those prices can add up quickly if you have a large group. And now that we’re in the middle of spring break, it seems like Disney is making the most of that “surge pricing” system.

Everyone Is Talking About Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disney World, But They’re Not Talking Enough About THIS

By Leave a Comment

We’re getting “closer and closer every day” to the grand opening of Disney’s newest ride, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. In fact, dare we say, the ride is “Almost There?” 😀

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom — Mid-March 2024

We’ve learned so much about the ride, including what its story will be like, what kind of music it will have, and even what the Tiana animatronic will look like (and she looks INCREDIBLE). We’ve been following how the red stone of Splash Mountain was converted into greenery with white flowers, and we’ve watched some ride testing. But there’s one key thing we don’t hear a lot of folks talking about: the queue.

Disney Just Made a Magic Kingdom Parking Change, and We Love It!

By 2 Comments

If you have been to Walt Disney World, you have probably found yourself fighting through the Transportation and Ticket Center (also lovingly known as the TTC) on many occasions.

Transportation and Ticket Center

We have a love-hate relationship with this part of Disney World. Honestly, a little more hate than love, but it is one of the necessities to grab transportation to Magic Kingdom if you are driving your own car. You can park in the massive parking lot here and grab a ferry or monorail to Magic Kingdom, or a monorail to EPCOT.
