Disney Genie+ Price to Now “Vary By Date,” Making It Even More Complicated
Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort have announced changes on the way at both Disney Resorts. Now, the line-skipping upcharge service known as Disney Genie+ (formerly the complimentary FastPass+ system) will have pricing that will “vary by date.”
We previously shared the news that reports were flooding in that Disney Genie+ at Disneyland Resort has increased from $20 to $25 overnight. Now, we’re learning there will also be a price impact at Walt Disney World Resort.

It seems like instead of budgeting $15 per person per day at Walt Disney World Resort, Guests can now expect to spend between $15 and $22 per day.
@ScottGustin took to social media to share, “NEW: Genie+ prices will now *vary by date* at Walt Disney World and Disneyland. WDW: G+ price now varies by date (was $15+ tax). Example: In Oct., G+ will range $15-$22. DL: G+ ticket add-on now $25 per day (was $20). *Same-day G+ will be variably priced based on date.*”
@ScottGustin further notes, “Walt Disney World: Genie+ is priced based on the date a guest is visiting (similar to how theme park tickets are sold). The pricing examples for October ($15 on less busy dates, $22 more busy dates) are ONLY for this month. G+ pricing will continue to vary based on date.”

Unfortunately, this Disney Park adjustment only seems to make planning and budgeting to use Disney Genie+ more complicated as now Guests will want to check what Disney Genie+ pricing is before making the decision to purchase it.
It’s also important to note that the $15 – $22 at Walt Disney World Resort is noted through October. With the sticker price removed, this means Guests could see Disney Genie+ go even higher than $22 as the winter and holiday events unfold.
As always, we will be sure to keep Disney Tips readers updated as we learn more about this change to Disney Genie+.
