WARNING! Disney World’s Genie+ Sees a BIG Price Increase

Well, to say things are getting busy in Disney World is an understatement.

The crowds have arrived in FULL force this weekend, and the first sign we knew it was going to be busy was seeing the price of Genie+ go up to its highest in over a month. Well, today, that price has gone even HIGHER, so we expect to see even MORE people in the parks today.

Genie+ is a service that you can purchase that lets you skip the long standby lines for rides and access their shorter Lightning Lanes instead. The price is dependent on a number of factors: the park you visit plus how much demand Disney expects there to be for the service. You can also purchase Genie+ for multiple parks if you plan on park hopping.

The most expensive park for Genie+ is Magic Kingdom, followed by Disney’s Hollywood Studios, EPCOT, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The multi-park option usually costs the same as the Magic Kingdom option. Yesterday, the prices were as follows: Multi-park was $25, Magic Kingdom was $25, EPCOT was $18, Hollywood Studios was $22, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom was $16. These were the highest prices we’d seen in over a month.

As of October 8th, the prices have gone up again. Multi-park and Magic Kingdom are now $29. The other parks remain the same: EPCOT is still $18, Hollywood Studios is $22, and Animal Kingdom is $16.

Individual Lightning Lanes are as follows today: Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is $12 (up $1 from yesterday) and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is $22 (same as yesterday). Both Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and TRON Lightcycle / Run were already sold out for Individual Lightning Lane when we checked.

This also comes on a day when Genie+ seems to be struggling a bit — we received a message on My Disney Experience earlier today that “new selections, purchases, or modifications to Disney Genie+ service features are temporarily unavailable.”
