Figuring out and paying for Disney Genie Plus has not been the most popular element of planning a Walt Disney World vacation.
Guests Views of Genie+
Many Walt Disney World Guests, whether frequent visitors or those making a once-in-a-lifetime vacation, loathed having to pay more for a service Disney used to provide for free (Fast Pass and Fast Pass+).
Park goers have requested that Walt Disney World simplify the experience for a while, and last month, Disney acknowledged Guests’ issues. On May 8, they released a statement saying they had “heard from Guests that they would like ways to plan with Disney Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane” before the day of their Disney Park visit. Disney also said last month they were “working on ways Guests may do this for visits in 2024.”

The New Pricing Structure
Disney announced today (June 23, 2023) a new price for Genie+ options effective June 27, 2023.
Guests who purchase Genie+ will have the ability to select a single-park or multi-park option. Choosing multiple parks will enable Genie Plus to function as it currently does with a Park Hopper Ticket starting at $27 per person/per day.
However, Guests looking to visit a single Park may pay less. The new single-park price structure is as follows:
Magic Kingdom: $27/person per day
Hollywood Studios: $24/person per day
EPCOT: $18/person per day
Animal Kingdom: $16/person per day
With this update on June 27, Genie+ prices will be lower at some parks compared to others. As an example, on June 27 prices will be:
Multiple Parks: $27/person
Magic Kingdom: $27/person
Hollywood Studios: $24/person
EPCOT: $18/person
Animal Kingdom: $16/person pic.twitter.com/MBEcDVFvHM— Scott Gustin (@ScottGustin) June 23, 2023
Although the price difference may only save a few dollars per person per day compared to the current Genie pricing structure, those amounts can add up quickly when traveling with a large party or visiting more than one Walt Disney World theme Park. It is also far less than the current system which once had Genie Plus pricing hit $35 per person per day.

As always, prices may vary by date and Park, especially as the new pricing structure goes into effect and Walt Disney World Resort sees how successful (or unsuccessful) the change may be. Hopefully, the change will allow Disney Park Guests to ride more attractions, utilize more lightning lane passes and enjoy a more magical visit.
