Walt Disney World is experiencing a surge in visitors this Presidents Day holiday, leading to an increase in the cost of Disney Genie+ service. The popular service, which allows guests to skip regular lines for select attractions, has seen a significant price hike due to the high demand.
The cost of Disney Genie+ has reached $35 for Magic Kingdom, nearing the record $39 price set during the 2023 Christmas season. At EPCOT, the price is $28, while Hollywood Studios is $32, and Animal Kingdom is $25. These prices reflect the increased demand as guests flock to the parks to celebrate the long holiday weekend. The multiple parks option, which allows guests to use Genie+ while park hopping, is currently unavailable.
The Presidents Day holiday marks the beginning of a busy season at Walt Disney World, with spring break and summer vacations on the horizon. Guests planning to visit during these peak times should be prepared for higher prices and longer wait times, but with careful planning, a magical Disney experience is still within reach.

Last month was a HUGE month for Epic Universe, as Universal Orlando released a ton of new details about the park, including confirmation of the themed lands that the park will contain as well as a digital overview of the Celestial Park area. Construction is continuing at a furious pace as we move towards the park opening next year, and we have updates on the construction progress ready to share with you thanks to aerial photos by X user bioreconstruct.
Work on Super Nintendo World continues to move at an impressive pace, including on the Donkey Kong coaster. You can see an area of the track above where the coaster will appear to ‘jump’ the track.

Exterior Details in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Ministry of Magic are starting to make this area really come to life. The area’s buildings, designed to resemble 1920s Paris, are being painted. The area will contain the 1920’s France from the Fantastic Beasts films and the 1990’s Ministry of Magic that was prominent in several Harry Potter films.

Work in the Dark Universe area is also moving along at an impressive pace. This land will pay homage to all of the classic Universal monsters, and will include immersive details including the manor in the photo above.

A land dedicated to the classic Universal monsters would not be complete without a village-and the scaffolding on the village in the land is slowly being removed, giving us a glimpse into how that area will look once complete.
The Curse of the Werewolf is one of the attractions that guests will encounter in the Dark Universe section of Epic Universe. The coaster has been undergoing testing recently, as captured in the image above.
Are you as excited as us for the opening of Epic Universe? Leave us a comment to let us know!

Disney Files Permit for Demolition of NBA Experience in Disney Springs
Disney has submitted a permit for the NBA Experience, the long-closed venue at Disney Springs in Walt Disney World. The permit, labeled “General construction/Demo,” has been assigned to Adena, a contractor with a history of working on major Disney World projects, such as the recent World Celebration Gardens at EPCOT and TORN Lightcycle Run at Magic Kingdom.
The exact nature of the construction work is unclear, and it remains to be seen if it is tied to a new tenant. Potential demolition activities may involve removing the large basketball mural covering the building or modifying the customized interior space designed for the NBA Experience.
While Disney has actively sought new tenants for the venue, no official announcement has been made regarding a replacement. The NBA Experience has been temporarily repurposed as a popup location for Meta Quest and later served as office space for the Summer House on the Lake opening.
The NBA Experience shut down along with the rest of Walt Disney World during the peak of the pandemic and did not reopen. Disney confirmed in August 2021 that the NBA Experience would remain permanently closed.
