<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1986046/open_sms">Send us a text</a>In this podcast, I will take you on my almost two-year journey of using Disney Genie Plus at Walt Disney World. Disney Genie Plus debuted in October 2021, replacing the old free FastPass+ system. While FastPass+ had its flaws, many people complain that Walt Disney World now requires you to pay to skip the line. However, it's worth noting that most major theme parks in America have a pay-to-skip-the-line service. In this podcast, I will share the strategies and tricks that I have learned over almost two years of using the Disney Genie+ service. We use this service every time we visit the park to make the most of our time and minimize stress. I hope that the information I cover in this podcast will help you maximize your time and have a better experience at the Disney parks. <a rel="payment" href="https://venmo.com/u/wellhellomagic">Support the show</a>Hey Welcome to Well Hello Magic! <a href='https://www.wellhellomagic.com/'>Well Hell Magic Website</a> <a href='https://www.instagram.com/wellhellodisney/'>Instagram</a> <a href='https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVCdvfNbK3m7metCV-YFFVA'>YouTube</a> <a href='https://www.pinterest.com/Wellhellodisney/'>Pinterest</a> <a href='https://www.amazon.com/shop/wellhellodisney'>Amazon Shop</a> <a href='https://www.shopltk.com/explore/WellHelloDisney'>LTK Shop</a> Ready to Plan your Disney Vacation? <a href='https://www.wellhellomagic.com/planning/disney-world-guide'>Free Planning Guide</a> <a href='https://www.wellhellomagic.com/newsletter'>Join The Newsletter</a>
