Over the last quarter, 50% of guests visiting Walt Disney World utilized Genie+ according to Disney CEO Bob Chapek.
In February, Chapek reported that up to 50% of guests during the busy holiday season were utilizing Genie+. While only a third of guests would purchase the service during non-peak times. On today’s Q3 2022 earnings call, it was revealed the baseline usage of Genie+ by guests has risen to 50%.
The increased usage of this paid service has helped lead Disney Parks to a 70% increase in revenue, as well as an increase of spend per guest visit.

All Disney is anymore is a huge money grab.
Its disgusting.

This is from a UK family who had been visiting at least every other year since 1987. (Maybe our money will be appreciated elsewhere).
50% compared to a 70-80% usage rate with the old FP+. People simply don’t want to pay for something that used to be included with park admission.
