Disney just announced another price increase this morning! Now, you’ll pay even more to go to the front of the line.
Genie+
In October 2021, Walt Disney World unveiled the Disney Genie. This provides guests with a free tip board. Disney Genie+ is a one-day fee add-on where you can access even more attractions with shorter wait times. Each day guests pay to use Genie+.
Finally, the third option is Individual Lightning Lane where guests can purchase return times for select attractions. You can choose to use the standby line instead of purchasing Genie+. In doing so, Disney is not forcing anyone to pay for this feature.
You can make one selection at a time all throughout the day. 40+ attractions are included at Walt Disney World and 15+ attractions will be available at Disneyland. Be sure to read all about Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes in our guide.
Price Increases
It appears that Disney is raising prices on everything this morning! Seriously, what is going on?
Disney World is expensive, there is no sugar coating that. Just this morning we have reported on price increases for the following:
- Star Wars souvenir
- Genie+
- Character buffet dining
- Signature dining at Magic Kingdom
- Building a custom light saber
- Capture your Moment
Clicking any of the above links will take you to that news story.
Variable Pricing
Depending on when you’re visiting Disney World, you may end up paying more for Genie+. Now, prices range from $15 to $22 per person per day plus tax. Pricing is based on how busy Disney predicts crowds will be in the future.
Not only that, but we also announced this morning a price increase for Disneyland’s Genie+ service HERE.
Disney World is introducing variable Genie+ pricing based on crowd levels.
What do you think of this price increase? Will this use it on your next Disney trip? Do you enjoy the new Disney Genie+ system? What improvement do you think should be made? Please share your thoughts with us on our Facebook Page.

I let my AP expire and sold DVC. I will make room for those who want to keep shelling out all this money. My family is not one of them. We have tons of great memories but now it’s just getting ridiculous.
