If you were hoping to visit Disney World during the slow season, you’ve officially missed out.
It’s almost EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival time!
Although crowds and wait times have really depended on whether there was a holiday or special event that week, now we’ve seen a HUGE jump in the wait times! This comes right before March which kicks off spring break season, the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, more TRON previews, and more.
We recently saw Genie+ sell out for the first time ever, meaning that it has been super popular among Disney guests. So how should you decide if Genie+ is for YOU? That’s why we’re here!
Tower of Terror
We’re showing you the average wait times in all four Disney World parks from the past week, so you can see which rides to watch out for and decide if Genie+ is necessary on your trip.
If you do want to buy Genie+, be sure to budget for the skip-the-line service. The price has fluctuated between $15 and $29, however on busier weeks and weekends you should expect the higher price tag. You can also rope drop and stay until park closing time for some lower wait times, but Genie+ allows you to skip lines throughout the day by booking times in the My Disney Experience app.
