Genie+ And Ticket price increase 10/11/2022

[deejdigsdis]

I was planning to buy 2-day/1 park per day tickets at $255 each. They just went up to $285. Ugh. So I hopped onto Target's website and bought them at the old price with Genie+ before they get yanked.

Kids are the same price.

Thanks!

No, you can’t unfortunately.

Thanks. That's what I thought. I went to try to add it last week and couldn't find how to do it and that explains why. I guess we should've added it originally. Nothing like another $100 expense added to the trip just for funsies.

Are all these increases effective immediately? Any way to book through someone to lock in the old price?

Glad I bought from undercover tourist last week.

I've been going to Disneyland for a long time so I'm used to price increases. But this is just ridiculous. Genie+ is helpful, but only if the rides work, and $20 a day already feels like too much. I liked being able to add it on a day-by-day basis when we were there in June, and I worry what the new cost will be if you purchase it in the park since it says "Starting at $25." It's also weird to increases the price when Genie+ wasn't even released quite a year ago. I feel bad for people in the park right now who budgeted based on prices before the increase. It would have been better to announce it a few weeks ago instead of springing it on people who are currently at Disneyland.

I miss Fastpass and Maxpass. They were more of a helpful perk, not "If you want any chance of getting on rides you NEED this."

I bought my tickets on Target's website today at the old ticket and Genie+ price. I saved $110 on 2 tickets (2-day/1 park per day) buying at the old price, and getting a 5% discount with my Target Red Card.

Disney is blatantly robbing us blind. I mean, I'm all for capitalism, but this is straight up highway robbery. Even if I had a gazillion dollars at my disposal, Disney is outright taking advantage of me. <deleted>.

It’s 8:30am on a Tuesday morning and the following rides are down:

Peter Pan
Star Tours
Buzz Lightyear
Jungle Cruise
Splash
Rise of the Resistance

How Disney can raise prices on tickets and Genie+ when this is the current park experience is beyond me.

 

[GatorChris]

I made this when Genie+ first hit. Seems even more on-point today.

On the plus side, Web Slingers is added as a Genie+ attraction instead of ILL. On the minus side, everything else is more expensive. But this will honestly affect sales by almost 0, but it's going to get Disney literally 25-30% more revenue from Genie. That's an insane cashflow bump for a 5$ per person cost change, plus increases on ILLs.

This is a positive change. They will just make up the revenue with the ILL they attach to Runaway Railway when it opens.

No one is forcing anyone to buy Genie+. Thr parks will still be crowded no matter how much prices go up!

 

[serendipityaey]

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.

Yes it said it will always be 25 if you pre-purchase. Day of is what will vary

 

[serendipityaey]

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

You already have it all set. You will be good

 

[ardanxela]

No, you can’t unfortunately.

I added the Genie Plus when I bought my tickets in September along with parking as well.

 

[Lisa24jks]

I'd go so far as to call this financial rape.

Maybe don't. I mean, be mad about price increases all you want, I'm all for that... but that phrasing is... over the line, IMO.

Just noticed that ILL for Rise is now $25

one. hundred. dollars. for my family to ride, or two hours of our time, for a(n admittedly spectacular) ride that breaks down constantly (so the two-hour investment could tank at any time, without warning or recompense)

I’m uhhhhhh. beginning to feel like we’re being played, here. juuust beginning to feel it, eeeever so slightly.
