Genie+ is going away! Well, sort of. The Genie+ service is being renamed to Lightning Lane Multi Pass, with individual Lightning Lane will become Lightning Lane Singe Pass. At Disneyland, that is all that is changing starting on July 24th. In Walt Disney World, you can make Lightning Lane plans before you are in the parks, choose experiences and times prior to purchase, and book Lightning Lane passes for multiple days at once. – https://www.micechat.com/390400-disneyland-update-crowd-collapse-oogie-observations-a-splashtacular-surprise/

Oogie Boogie Bash tickets went on sale last week and it was surprisingly uneventful for those looking to get tickets. No website issues, and there are still tickets as of this recording to a limited amount of Tuesday evening parties. – https://www.micechat.com/390400-disneyland-update-crowd-collapse-oogie-observations-a-splashtacular-surprise/

As of July 1st, Din Tai Fung is officially open! The new dumpling house has exited soft opening and guests can now make reservations online to dine at the location. Inside, there is a window where you can see the dumplings are being made in a display kitchen, and purchase some exclusive merchandise in the gift shop.

A quick update on the Portos rumors. In the article that we linked last week about Din Tai Fung opening, there was a paragraph towards the bottom that mentioned that Portos was coming to Downtown Disney. This is a good indication that the restaurant is still planning on coming to the district, at least for now. – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/din-tai-fung-opening-plus-more-this-summer-in-downtown-disney-district/

A reminder to guests going to Disneyland after July 8th – a lot of the west side of the park will be closed. The path to Galaxy’s Edge will not be accessible, all of Critter Country will be closed, starting at Harbor Galley. Plan accordingly. No word on when this will all reopen to guests. – https://www.micechat.com/390400-disneyland-update-crowd-collapse-oogie-observations-a-splashtacular-surprise/
