IS DISNEY GENIE PLUS WORTH IT? | FULL REVIEW AT MAGIC KINGDOM | WALT DISNEY WORLD
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators document a day at Magic Kingdom to evaluate whether the Genie Plus service is worth the additional cost. After purchasing the service for fifteen dollars each, they test various features, including the ability to book new lightning lanes immediately after completing a ride to reset the two-hour timer. They observe that standby wait times displayed in the park are often significantly lower than the times advertised, which they suggest may be an attempt to encourage Genie Plus purchases. The creators also confirm that the service allows for park hopping within a single day. While they find the ability to skip lines to be a godsend for efficiency, they express frustration that services previously included for free now require extra payment on top of rising ticket prices. They conclude that while Genie Plus is highly beneficial for managing crowds at Magic Kingdom, its value depends on the specific park and the level of crowds encountered. The vlog also includes dining experiences at Disney Springs and the Polynesian Resort.
