More changes to Genie+ begin TODAY.
Disney Genie+ Change
When Genie+ first debuted, pricing was set at $15 at Disney World. However, last fall Disney introduced variable pricing. With date-based theme park ticket pricing and Disney’s announcement that Guests could no longer purchase Genie+ in advance, variable pricing came as little surprise.
In doing so, it allowed Disney to control pricing based on demand. This newest change even allows Disney to control pricing based on demand in each park.
That’s right – Disney announced last week that Genie+ pricing would vary between parks! Read the full story HERE.
How does this work?
If you plan to visit one park on the day of your visit, you will pay the price set for that park on that particular day. If you plan to park hop, you will pay the price set for the “multiple parks” option. For the first day (today June 27), here is pricing:
- Multiple parks: $27
- Magic Kingdom: $27
- EPCOT: $18
- Hollywood Studios: $24
- Animal Kingdom: $16
These prices will fluctuate based on the date and park just like Genie+ did when it moved to variable pricing.
More Details
Do note that if one park sells out, the “multiple parks” option will be unavailable to purchase as well. That is why it is important to decide early on in the day if you want to buy Genie+ or not.
Another thing we have yet to see play out is what happens if you don’t intend to park hop but then decide after you have purchased that you DO want to park hop. Do you have to pay the full price for the multiple parks option or the second park as well? Do you just pay the difference? We want clarification from Disney.
