Magic Kingdom
From visitors coming to Disney World for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party or EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival, there’s a lot to do in October — and the wait times don’t lie. Last week wait times were holding steady as the holiday approached, but what about this week?

You can purchase Genie+ for $15 to $22 per person, per day to bypass standby lines and use the faster Lightning Lanes, you can buy Lightning Lane access a la carte for select rides, and if you’re attending Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party it can be a great time to take advantage of lower wait times.

As you can see, wait times are pretty high right now. With that in mind, if you are looking to skip those long lines to ride more while you are in the parks, you may want to consider Genie+. Usually we say to hold off in slower seasons, especially now that there has been a price increase. But after looking at these numbers you may want to consider if it’s right for your family!
