Due to the high demand of the holiday season, temporary changes begin today for Genie+ pay-per-ride selections. When Genie+ was announced, guests noticed that some of the high demand attractions were not included in the standard price for Genie+ and were instead pay-per-ride. However, some of these high demand rides will be included in the standard Genie+ purchase from today, December 19th, 2021, until January 3rd, 2022.
One attraction from every Walt Disney World Park has been added to the purchase of Genie+. They are as followed:
- Space Mountain – Magic Kingdom
- Frozen Ever After – Epcot
- Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway – Disney’s Hollywood Studios
- Expedition Everest – Disney’s Animal Kingdom
This temporary change to Genie+ only applies to Walt Disney World, with no changes occurring to Disneyland Resort’s Genie+ app. Guests have been getting used to the new Genie+ and Lightning Lane rules since its debut in October. Disney is still fine tuning parts of the Genie+ program to provide the best experience possible.
With this change only 4 rides are not included in the purchase of Genie+. These are:
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train – Magic Kingdom
- Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure – Epcot
- Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance – Disney’s Hollywood Studios
- Flight of Passage – Disney’s Animal Kingdom
This temporary change may lead to some big monetary savings, since guests who wish to use the Lightning Lane will only need to purchase Genie+ for $15, opposed to paying per ride, per person. Those extra fees can really add up on a family vacation, so this news is bound to bring holiday cheer to guests visiting Walt Disney World in the following weeks.
Will you be in the Disney World parks during this temporary change to the Genie+ pay-per-ride selections? Were you planning on purchasing Genie+ for your vacation? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
