Walt Disney World Genie+ sells out the Multi-Park option first today, followed by two individual parks

Disney Genie+ has once again sold out two parks at Walt Disney World today, but with a notable change regarding the Multi-Park option.

This morning, the Multi-Park Genie+ option was the first to sell out at 9 am, followed by Disney's Hollywood Studios at 10:50 am and Disney's Animal Kingdom at 12:20 pm.

Today is the first time the Multi-Park option has sold out significantly earlier than one of the individual parks.

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.

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+.

Thanks for the update! I had gotten the same data you had elsewhere, so it definitely seemed like a glitch on the WDW end. Always grateful for all the information I get here!

That was actually a rare instance where the prices changed after being initially released. First time that has happened.

Ultimately, we each have our own price point for budgeting a family vacay at Disney. You can complain on a forum, but wear your thick skin. Or you can go somewhere else, hoping that the demand for LLs, multi, etc. drops to lower prices to within your budget. They way my fam of 5 did DW 6 yrs ago will never happen again. I can live with that. Loopholes and extra perks are gone and won’t come back until there is a big shift in consumer spending. And that may take a few years.

I’ve taken over a half dozen trips since this got implemented and was able to do it with 5.5 days in the park. Needed Early Entry to do it, but otherwise had no issues.

Thanks for the confirmation.

I won't pontificate drawing attention away from Lightning Lane. Currently LL works well for both standby and those who choose to purchase expedited entry. LL lanes are not overflowing and the standby lines move thanks to the removal of unplanned capacity consumption by DAS parties. Value of LL is the primary focus now and personal justification of it's cost based on crowd levels. Rides have a fixed maximum capacity per hour and planned consumption works well right now.

The numbers were wrong. Also, WDW clearly didn’t have access to numbers past the 21 day mark, the data they were publishing past that point was wrong. Nobody knows what the price will be past the 28th since that’s 21 days from now.

Yeah, so @wdwmagic’s numbers were wrong. I made my purchases today. It was up to $39 for basically all of Christmas week for MK. It did go up from last year.

Can we bop back a page here and look at LL pricing again? I’m trying to figure out pricing for our trip, which extends through New Years and into the first couple days of Jan. The page hosted by WDW Magic doesn’t list prices past 12/31. (It had been listing prices out a week further than I could see on MDE). And the price they had listed for the 28th at Epcot/MGM didn’t match what MDE eventually showed. It does now list the higher expected price. (Example: it had said $29 for MGM on 12/29. Now it says $35. But I can only see out through the 28th on MDE and now I don’t know what’s what. Just feeling frustrated with the whole system.

Easily spoken by someone that the game (which is equal parts chance and skill) has treated well.

Life isnt fair. Play the game, make your choices, live with the consequences.

To be fair, very few people can take a leisurely, two week vacation. The average length is 5-7 days.

How were "official" posted wait times versus actual wait times? We are hearing lots of talk about Disney "inflating" posted wait times to scare people into buying into the app. I have two CM friends that told me that if a guest asks them what the "real" wait time is, they are MANDATED to repeat only the "official" posted time. They are NOT allowed to look at a que that they know is only 15 min and tell that to a guest. If the official time says 65min,..they must say that and NOT the "real" 15min. I'm sorry folks,...that does not bother the strong Burbank defenders here on this forum...but that bothers me. It's a dishonest way to get people to pay for something they might not need. They prey on guests that don't know better. Also,...do you know how to make lines LONGER at Pirates if they are not long enough? You deliberately take boats OUT of the water and keep less boats moving in circulation. Etc.. Keep that app money on your phone flowing!
