Now Added to Genie+
Earlier this week, we shared that Guests could enjoy special viewing location of the parade. This is available through the Disney Genie+. Check out the other newly added Disney Genie+ attractions HERE.
Disney Genie+ is, this is the new system that was introduced to Walt Disney World in October 2021. Disney Genie+ is a one day fee where you can access even more attractions with shorter wait times for $15.98 (including tax) per day per Guest.
There is no limit to how many Guests may purchase Disney Genie+ in a certain day, but certain attractions can be unavailable throughout the day due to growing crowds. That means that only a select number of Guests can secure a spot for this special viewing location for the Festival of Fantasy parade. Also this will limit the availability to secure a Lightening Lane for another attraction.
