Disney World is changing the way it prices Genie+, its paid service that allows guests to skip the standby lines for certain rides. Starting on June 27, guests will be able to purchase Genie+ for a single park or for multiple parks.
The price of Genie+ will vary by park. For example, Genie+ for Magic Kingdom will cost $27, while Genie+ for Animal Kingdom will cost $16. The prices will also vary depending on the day of the week and the time of year.
This change is a way for Disney to better match the price of Genie+ to the demand for the service. For example, if Magic Kingdom is very crowded on a particular day, the price of Genie+ for that park will be higher than the price for Animal Kingdom, which is typically less crowded.
This change could save guests money if they are only planning to visit one park. For example, if a guest is only planning to visit Animal Kingdom, they could save $11 by purchasing Genie+ for that park instead of for multiple parks.
Disney has been struggling to find the right balance between pricing and attendance limits at its theme parks. This change is a way for Disney to experiment with different pricing strategies and see how they affect demand.
Overall, this change is a positive one for guests. It gives guests more flexibility and could save them money. It will be interesting to see how this change affects demand for Genie+ and how Disney adjusts the prices in the future.
Here are some additional details about the change:
- Guests will be able to purchase Genie+ through the My Disney Experience app on the day of their visit.
- Prices for Genie+ will be updated daily and will vary depending on the park and the day of the week.
- Guests who have already purchased Genie+ will not be affected by this change.
Disney Fans Have Mixed Reactions to Genie+
Disney World’s new Genie+ service, which allows guests to skip the standby lines for certain rides, has been met with mixed reactions. Some fans are happy to have the option to pay for faster access to rides, while others are disappointed that the service is not included in the price of admission.
One of the biggest complaints about Genie+ is that it is not as good as the former FastPass+ system. With FastPass+, guests could reserve three experiences at whatever park they were visiting 30 days before their visit. Once they used those three reservations, they could add another one. With Genie+, guests can only make one reservation at a time, and the price varies daily based on demand.
In addition, some of the newest and most-popular rides are not included in Genie+. For those rides, Disney World guests have the option of paying for Lightning Lane, a second cut-the-line service that has its own charge per ride.
Some Disney fans are happy with Genie+ because it offers them a way to skip the standby lines for some of their favorite rides. Others are disappointed that the service is not included in the price of admission, and they feel that it is not worth the price.
Disney is making a change that will make Genie+ at least slightly more palatable. Starting June 27, guests will be able to purchase Genie+ for a single park or for multiple parks. This means that guests who are only planning to visit one park may be able to save money by purchasing Genie+ for that park instead of for multiple parks.
Only time will tell how this new pricing structure will affect demand for the service.
In the end, some Disney fans are happy with the new Genie+ service, while others are not. The service does offer some convenience, but it is not clear if it is worth the price for everyone.
