The $29 Disney Genie+ option has sold out at Disney's Animal Kingdom for the first time today, joining Disney's Hollywood Studios, which sold out earlier this morning.

Today is the first time Genie+ has sold out at Disney's Animal Kingdom and the first time two parks have sold out on the same day.

Guests are still able to buy Genie+ at EPCOT and Magic Kingdom.

Walt Disney World's Genie+ has reached its highest price point this Christmas Holiday week since the Lightning Lane system was introduced in October 2021.

Christmas holiday crowds are arriving at Walt Disney World and demand for Genie+ is high

Walt Disney World is now in what is traditionally the busiest time of the year, from just before Christmas Day to New Year's Day, and Disney has raised prices to match demand.

When initially launched, Disney Genie+ was $15 and has now reached a whopping $39 for the same Multi-Park option.

Disney's Animal Kingdom Genie+ price today is $29, which had a previous high of $25. Magic Kingdom is $39, up from of $35. Disney's Hollywood Studios is $35, up from the previous high of $32. Finally, EPCOT is priced at $32, up from $28.

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?

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.
