WARNING: Genie+ May Be a Necessity in Disney World Right Now

Genie+ is one of the most controversial Disney World change in recent years, however it has become popular among guests.

When Disney World gets really busy, many are willing to spend part of their budget on Genie+ which will allow them to skip some of the lines. Genie+ even sold out recently for the first time ever. Why did the FastPass replacement sell out now, though? After you see these wait times, you’ll understand.
