Are you wondering how high Genie+ prices will go? Check out today’s entirely new price to see how it compares.
Variable Pricing
Along with an incredible list of price increases recently, one of the most unwelcome Disney announcements was that Genie+ moved from a fixed to variable price each day. Since its launch in 2021, Disney World’s Genie+ cost $15 and Disneyland’s version cost $20 per person (excluding tax). Now, we’ve seen pricing at $15-$22 at Disney World and $25 at Disneyland.
With date-based theme park ticket pricing and Disney’s announcement earlier this year that Guests could no longer purchase Genie+ in advance, we weren’t totally surprised when Disney announced this change. Disney saw a way to increase revenue during peak crowd levels on this service.
Did you know you may be actually paying more for Genie+ than other people on the same day?
Prices May Increase Even More
In Disney’s announcement, they hinted that the $15-$22 price was for the month of October. They didn’t mention pricing going forward. That means that busy holiday crowds later this month and December could pay even more to use Genie+ each day. It will be interesting to see how high it gets.
Most people will pay the extra money to enjoy rides rather than waiting most of the day in lines for their favorite attractions. After all, it’s already so crowded, and Genie+ is one way to avoid the holiday crowd chaos.
Today’s Price
Guests at Disney World woke up to an all-new price for Genie+. Today, Genie+ cost the base price of $19 per person plus tax.
Today, Disney World guests can purchase Genie+ for an all-new price point of $19 per person plus tax.

Disney has priced itself out of acceptability ! Everything’s so complicated now and not worth hours in line ! The ambiance has been totally destroyed . Won’t waste my time and money!

Just at Disney 4 weeks ago. Paid for Genie plus and paid $22 per person per day, could only get one ride the kids wanted at 7 am sign up and all other rides were booked for day when we went for second ride. Bought it 3 days total, only got 3 rides in a 14 hour day at magic kingdom and less at Epcot, which 50 % of people intoxicated from wine festival. Was a total rip, you cannot get rides you want even after you pay for genie plus. The cost was outrageous and falsely presented to get rides with less lines. Also waited in lines up to 3 hours with young kids, a nightmare. Good bye Disney, never again for us, Walt Disney has to be crying how you have made it all about money and the magic is gone!!

I’m going to a Disney World, probably for the last time. I would rather wait in long lines than to pay extra for Genie+ or Lighteninglane. Walt must be turning over in his grave. This is not progress it is greed.
