BEWARE of These 10 Rides in Disney World Right Now

Put your game face on — it’s spring break season in Disney World!

Be ready for crowds!

If you’re heading to Disney World soon, beware! The spring break crowds have arrived and they are not easy to handle. We’ve seen Genie+ hit its highest price recently and the price for the skip-the-line service is based on demand. So what are the wait times like in Disney World right now?

Today, we’re taking you through the average wait times in Disney World from the past week so that you can determine a game plan when you visit the parks. This can help you decide if Genie+ is a must for your group, or if you want to save money and use other strategies like rope dropping!

Tower of Terror

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. Also, remember that the price is per person, so take that into consideration when budgeting and making decisions about your park day.

The Cool Feature You Never Knew About at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Genie+ could come in handy especially during spring break season in Disney World. The crowds are no joke! However, this is another expense that can add up really fast depending on how many people are in your group. We also recommend rope dropping (arriving at the park before it opens to get ahead of the crowds) or staying until the park closes to get the shortest waits without Genie+. Reminder — Genie+ has sold out recently and it could sell out on your trip, too!
