The winds of change are inevitable for Walt Disney World. The parks are constantly changing and change is at the core of Disney Imagineering. Ticket price increases have come to be expected by guests. Many book their vacations very early to lock in ticket prices in expectation of yearly increases. But, the year ahead may foreshadow even more change.
Fast Pass+
It’s no secret the Fast Pass+ system and app has had its flaws. The Disney Company has tried to close loopholes within the system with tiered selections in every park except Magic Kingdom, but the billion dollar system still has its problems. New information and rumors are leaking about a new system. But, will it be better?
Paid Fast Pass System
If Disney does release a new system, and according to information from Ken Storey from OrlandoWeekly.com ,it might be at the same time as ticket price increase and it may be a paid system similar to DisneyLand’s MaxPass. MaxPass is only available the day of, cutting down on the months long stress of booking FastPasses through FastPass+.
Disney Genie
And along comes the Disney Genie app. Also according to the Orlando Weekly.com article, the AI enabled app was announced at last year’s D23 Expo. Screenshots show park experiences grouped into topics similar to tours now offered at the parks. Topics include “The Royal Treatment” and “Thrilling Adventures”. Groupings include rides, meet and greets, lunch reservations and reserved parade viewing. A vast deviation from the current FastPass+ system.
