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+.

I was also there last week. Went to AK on 11/13. Didn't ride FOP, but under 5 min wait for Safari, Everest, dino, and triceratops. I waited 12 mins for Navi at the end of the night. MK of 11/14 (party day). I did LL for most attractions, but 10ish min wait for Buzz and small world. Finally EPCOT on 11/16 was actually busy, we LL everything but Frozen and remy were both posed over 70 mins when we rode and SSE and Soain were both 20+.

You must be mistaken. We were just told by people in the parks 2 weeks ago that they were packed, lines were long, and dining reservations difficult to obtain. Are you sure Tron wasn’t 85 minutes and your rose-colored glasses aren’t altering your memories to push an agenda? 😉

Yes, agreed! We were just there last week and ALL waits were pretty low. Low enough to where we didn’t pay anything ride related, but still managed to ride all we wanted - sometimes multiple times . The longest line in waited in was tron, which was 35 mins. Easy peasy.

I guess a little bit of that old money was spent. Wonder if they got a good interest rate.

Unless money was a make or break decision. Why would anyone want to wait in line willingly when there is another option?

DisneyDreamer0812 days ago

Yep been there 😂 I won’t say getting both LLs is impossible but you would likely have to try multiple times throughout the day. When my kids were younger, we would rope drop one and LL the other.

We could but with a 5 and 4 year old, we try to avoid 45+ minute waits lol. We do have extra magic hours on Monday when we go next month so we will probably try to hit those two rides for sure.
