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.

  1. Is it worth purchasing since so many people are getting it? I feel like the lightning lanes and the standby lanes would end up being equal at that point.

  2. The Genie experience left us feeling deflated after our holiday back in November. It just a way to Disney to pocket an extra $100 a day from a family with maybe the chance to add one ride. Disney have become money whores leaving you with a reduced experience and a larger dent in your wallet.

    This is from a UK family who had been visiting at least every other year since 1987. (Maybe our money will be appreciated elsewhere).

  3. 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.
