Walt Disney World's new pricing structure for Genie+ service begins today, expanding the Genie+ purchasing decision from one to five options.

Genie+ gets more complex as the number of purchasing options increase

Beginning today, guests can select Genie+ as a single-park or multi-park option. Prices vary by park and date.

The multi-park option is the most expensive and will operate like the original Disney Genie+ option, allowing guests to use Genie+ at any park they visit on that day.

For the single-park Genie+ option, Disney's Animal Kingdom and EPCOT are priced lower than Disney's Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom.

Pricing for Walt Disney World's Genie+ today, June 27, is as follows:

Multiple Parks (valid with park hopper ticket) - $27
Magic Kingdom - $27
EPCOT - $18
Disney's Hollywood Studios - $24
Disney's Animal Kingdom - $16

Genie+ pricing is per person, and excludes tax.

New Disney Genie+ pricing options - June 27 2023

As before, Disney does not allow pre-purchasing of Genie+, and guests only find out the pricing from midnight on the day of visiting the park.

In some cases, specifically for Disney's Animal Kingdom and EPCOT, the new pricing structure may mean you will spend less on Genie+ than the original multi-park option. As an example, yesterday's Genie+ price was $25, regardless of which park you visited. With the revised pricing model, guests at any park other than Magic Kingdom, or those buying the multiple-park option, would have spent up to $9 less. However, it remains to be seen precisely how Disney will price the new options long-term and how it will affect overall guest spending on Genie+.

It looks as though Disney is attempting to increase Genie+ uptake among guests at EPCOT and Disney's Animal Kingdom, that may have previously thought that Genie+ was not worth the cost. Offering a lower price at those parks may tempt more guests to purchase Genie+.

Disney Genie+ is a purchase option within the Disney Genie service that makes the former FastPass line available at select attractions, now called Lightning Lane. Certain headline attractions are not part of Genie+, and Lightning Lane access at those attractions requires an Individual Attraction purchase which varies in price. Learn more about Genie+.

Learned a new G+ tip the other day and I thought I would share. If you are refreshing looking for a better time on a single ride... Don't pull down to refresh then click the ride once you see a better time come up. Often times you will be too slow and someone else will have gotten that better time. Instead of refreshing that main page, simply click the ride on whatever time it does to move on to the confirmation screen. The time will automatically shift to the latest time available (which might be different that the tip board screen). If it is not the time you want, click back and do it again. This way if you see a time, you are holding that time as soon as you see it.

I've seen many people say they don't like having to be on their phone all day. I didn't experience that. I'd book a LL, set an alarm for a few minutes before the next booking time, and then put my phone away. Lather, rinse, repeat. I don't remember spending more than about 5 (*maybe* 10) minutes on my phone every time I was scheduling another LL. My husband spent *way* more time than that on his phone and he didn't schedule *any* LLs. It was no worse than it was with FP+. And it sure beats having to walk to the ride you wanted to ride to get a FP for it or walking to a kiosk and standing in line to schedule a FP+ before you could do it on the app. I'd venture to guess that I spent more time in the FP/FP+ kiosk days walking back and forth across the parks to get the rides we wanted compared to the amount of time I was on my phone for G+. At least I can parallel process when using my phone -- doing the scheduling while eating a snack or meal or while standing in line somewhere.

Well I’ve had decent luck using it as well after learning the tricks but I spend an enormous time on my phone all day playing the game which I don’t like

Didn't need fixing. I'm ok paying for it, I just don't want it to be $35/day. I felt like $15-20 was a good price. We were FP+ power users, but we had even better success with G+/ILL.

Doesn't include the more popular attractions. You have to pay even more to access the lightening lane per ride for those attractions. Total money grab! Disney is pricing themselves out of existence .
