There have been some big announcements during the Walt Disney Company’s Q3 earnings call.
Bob Chapek
So far, we’ve learned that Disney Parks revenue has increased by $4.3 billion, Disney+ subscribers have risen, and the new ad-supported Disney+ subscription tier is launching this December. Details about Disney Genie+ have also been shared, and we have an update that may surprise you!
Have you ever wondered how many people are actually purchasing Genie+ in Disney World and Disneyland? During the Q1 earnings call, Disney reported that over a third of domestic guests purchased Genie+ and/or Individual Lightning Lanes in the first quarter of the year.
Disney Genie
During the Q3 earnings call, Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Chapek reported that almost 50% of guests entering Disney Parks purchased Genie+ in the third quarter. Chapek said, “Even our Genie product, which we released short of a year ago, now about 50% of the people who come through the gate, buy up to that Genie product…which you can see in results of our yields.”
Tower of Terror Lightning Lane
The Walt Disney Company previously reported that over 50% of guests purchased Genie+ products during the holiday season in 2021, and now as of the third quarter, it appears to be a trend.
Lightning Lane
In Disney World, Genie+ costs $15 per person, per day, while it costs $20 per person, per day in Disneyland. A Genie+ purchase gets you access to the faster Lightning Lanes (as opposed to standby lanes) for select rides, while the most popular and in-demand ride Lightning Lanes can be purchased in a separate transaction via Individual Lightning Lanes, and prices vary depending on the date.
