Disney Genie+ and the Death of FastPass

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, your place for anything and everything Disney. This week, we scrapped our main topic in favor of Disney News because (plays "Taps" in the background) Fastpass is dead. Disney's "new" app and system to replace it is confusing and complicated, so we explain it during the episode.   Disney Genie is an app for helping you plan out your day. It'll give you estimated wait times, provide a place to mobile order, help you get in line in virtual queues, and assist you in planning out your day. It basically has the same functionality as the My Disney Experience App.   So not that complicated right? Wrong.   You can also purchase Genie+ to help you jump the lines on many rides or further, purchase access to Lightning Lanes to get on the top tier attractions. So how do you do it? What's included? Do you need Genie+ to get Lightning Lanes?   We answer it all in this podcast, while also talking about what we think the impact of these decisions will be. Should people really be mad? What do we think, if done correctly, the impact on the lines will be? And what's the biggest issue with all the changes that people are missing?   There's so much to unpack, and we appreciate you being here with us for it! Please, feel free to send us any additional questions on our Facebook page EnchantedEars. We'll answer them on a future show.   And as always, have a magical week!   Check us out on Facebook and Youtube or submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode or support us on Patreon.
