[BGinCali]

Price increases to $25 per day vs the $20. Currently still could add the Genie+ at $20 from Undercover Tourist if you’re looking to buy tickets with Genie+ added vs adding/buying day of.

Your title makes it sound like they are raising the price in November instead of now.

Thank you! And sorry about the confusion-I am off to get some much needed coffee!

What? That's insane. We were at the parks for 3 days last week. Bought G+ for 2 days. It cost our family $100 more per day. The constant ride closures and breakdowns were extremely frustrating and disappointing. And even when the rides were operating, half the elements didn't even function properly. FYI: G+ doesn't work unless rides actually operate. So Disney creates the problem (ride closures + huge crowds + no entertainment = loooooong lines) and then offers us a "solution" at a higher price tag. However, their solution fails because they can't even keep the rides OPEN! Which makes people even MORE desperate to fulfill their expectations of a magical Disney vacation after spending thousands of dollars to attend the parks, so they fork out even more $$$ for the illusion that is G+ because they have no other choice. It's criminal. Absolutely criminal.

Ummmmm does that say starting at $25 prices vary by date in the picture there? How high does it go?

Edit to add - just found another article and apparently they aren't saying just how high it can go just that it's based on demand.

Geez remember when max pass was $10, there were no reservation systems, the crowds were less, you could park hop whenever, and the rides worked?

Lol I knew they were going to increase the price when they offered key holders a discount for genie plus.

Wow, yeah I don't like that "starting at $25 and prices vary by date"

 

[NewbieMouse]

Yikes. I'd be OK with it if it worked more like MaxPass did, but it seems like it's constantly a matter of getting less and paying more.

 

[ClaudiaKincaid]

Yikes on bikes, that is a breathtakingly cynical cash-grabbing move - yet another step in a relentless march toward offering less value for more money. As others have said, if all the rides and entertainment worked, I’d probably just grit my teeth and fork it over, but with things the way they are … frankly it just feels like being straight-up used.

I just messed with a bunch of ticket dates and they only offered me the $25 price regardless of day / single ticket price. I assume this means we'll have to wait and see what people are being charged if they don't add in advance to find the ceiling on this.

This. We went in July. The ENTIRE Genie+ system was down on the app. You could not reserve anything. This was from around 4pm until we left the park. We couldn't use the product we paid for, and when we complained (on the app, guest service lines were insanely long) we were told yea there was a glitch, sorry.

Is there no way to add Genie+ to tickets that you already bought until the day of your reservations (after you are in the park)?

 

[mtemm]

I bought genie+ along with my ticket. Will I need to add more money (how???) or is it a done deal and I’m good? I bought thru the DL app for my November trip

 

[BGinCali]

Ughh - I just see that ticket prices went up too! The 5 day PH with Genie+ went up $35 or 8%.

And paper fast passes were free?

 

[jadepansy459]

Is that $25 pp including kids ? Or is their a lower price for little ones? Can't seem to find this out , we have tickets without G+ added at the moment.

No, you can’t unfortunately.

Kids are the same price.

I can’t be 100% sure but I think you should be good if your tickets already include it.
