food IS a theme park
Have you ever wondered how Disney determines the Genie+ prices per day?
Genie+
Well, we noticed something about the prices while in the parks recently that might shed a bit of insight into how the virtual planning assistant is priced.
It’s the most wonderful (and busy/hectic/wild) tiiiime of the yeeeear! 🎶
It’s TIME!
Yep, over the past week, we officially entered the holiday season at Disney World, Thanksgiving came and went, and now, we have our sights set on Christmas and the New Year. In case you weren’t at Disney World this week to witness all the chaos that the start of the holiday season involves, this post is for you!Â
Happy Turkey Day, DFB Readers!

You might be wondering what our big plans are for the day. Well, we’re at Disney World because we just can’t get enough of those holiday decorations, holiday snacks, and that everyday Disney magic! But what are crowds like on Thanksgiving? Well, leading up to the holiday, things were getting busier in Disney World, AND we saw Genie+ sell out at a record-high price. So, let’s take a look at crowds on ACTUAL Thanksgiving.
We’re in Magic Kingdom today and have noticed the very large crowds!
Crowds in Magic Kingdom
Today is a sold-out day in Magic Kingdom and we’re noticing lots and lots of people! This is causing long lines and sold-out Individual Lightning Lanes. Now, we’ve noticed another service has sold out.
Thanksgiving week is officially here.
Thanksgiving Feast Time!
Usually around the holidays, we see higher crowds in the parks and this year is turning out to be no different! With more people comes high wait times. But it might also affect the way that you get those Lightning Lane passes.
Yes, we know we talk a LOT about the holidays in Disney World. But can you blame us? Everything is SO festive with all the decorations, the snacks, and the parties!

We know, we know…there’s Thanksgiving to consider, too. We’ve already told you about some Thanksgiving treats coming to Disney World. Well, there’s a meal returning to Disney World that’s basically Thanksgiving on a slice of bread (trust us, you’ll want this).
We’ve been talking a lot about Christmas and holidays recently.
Christmas is officially in Disney World!
But we shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves too much. As many people like to remember, there is still another holiday BEFORE Christmas (even if we just want to put up our trees and sing carols). Thanksgiving is celebrated in America in November, and while it’s not as big of a celebration as the other winter holidays, many do partake in turkey day. One snack company is here to remind us about the season of thanks!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Disney World!
The Christmas tree at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is up!
But before Christmas comes Thanksgiving, and we wondered if Disney had forgotten about it. They have been releasing so many new holiday treats, souvenirs, and entertainment, but we’ve seen nothing about a turkey. That is, until now!
The leaves are changing, the weather is cooling down, and we’re all gearing up for a busy holiday season at Disney World.
Disney Springs
While we’re eagerly awaiting after-hours holiday parties, changes to popular classic attractions, and new restaurants, it’s easy to forget the Thanksgiving season that’s quickly approaching. But if you’re looking to savor the flavors of the season without the full bellies afterward, we’ve found a new way to help you get your Thanksgiving fix! [Read more…]
It’s no secret how fast Disney World’s tickets, park pass reservations, and hotel rooms can sell out.
Animal Kingdom
Tickets for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party sold out weeks ago, and Jollywood Nights are following a similar path. Hotel accommodations on property also often fill up before popular times of the year come around, making last-minute solutions hard to find. If you’re heading to Disney World in 2024, these are the dates you need to book hotel reservations for right now!
