Big update on the Disney park pass and Genie changes coming soon!

We have a big update for the park pass and Genie changes that are coming soon to Disney World!

Park pass changes

Since the phased reopening of the theme parks, park reservations have been required for all four theme parks. Although Disney makes more park passes available at times, it’s a good idea to secure them as soon as you book your vacation. This is especially important during busier times of the year.

When Disney implemented park passes and park hopping restrictions, the original reasoning was that it would help manage attendance due to the pandemic. Despite Disney removing every other health and safety measure, park passes and hopping restrictions remain.

At Walt Disney World, Annual Passholders will be able to visit theme parks after 2 p.m. without needing a park reservation. The only exception is Saturdays and Sundays at Magic Kingdom.

Update: this change will take place on April 18, 2023!

Genie+ attraction photo downloads

In addition, Disney is adding a new complimentary offering to Guests that purchase Genie+ that might make some Guests feel this add on is an even better value! See the original story HERE.

Starting March 20, Guests purchasing Disney Genie+ will receive digital downloads of their Disney Photopass attraction photos at no extra charge! These include attractions like Space Mountain, Slinky Dog Dash, Test Track, and more.

Starting March 20, attraction photos are now included in Genie+
