Launch Dates Revealed for Enhancements for the Genie+ and Annual Passholders
Earlier this year, Walt Disney World announced several changes in an effort to provide a better experience for all Guests. In addition to parking fees being suspended for all Guests starting at official Walt Disney World Resort Hotels, it was announced that Annual Passholders would no longer have to make park reservations when visiting after 2 pm and a fantastic enhancement to the Genie+.
With the exception of the parking fees – which went into effect as soon as they were announced – we did not have exact launch dates for the other changes. Until today! There are even some more exciting changes announced for Walt Disney World Annual Passholders!
Complimentary Attraction Photos with Genie+ Purchase
Beginning March 20, 2023, Guests who purchase the Genie+ for the day of their park visit will receive all PhotoPass digital downloads from attractions at no extra charge. This includes photos from fan-favorite attractions such as Seven Dwarfs Mine Train in the Magic Kingdom, Frozen Ever After in EPCOT, Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom, Slinky Dog Dash in Hollywood Studios, and so many more!

Park Reservation Requirement for Annual Passholders
Another exciting change is on deck for Walt Disney World Annual Passholders! Starting April 18, 2023, Walt Disney World Annual Passholders will no longer be required to make park reservations when visiting their favorite Parks after 2 pm – with just one exception.
The only exception is that Annual Passholders will still be required to make park reservations when they plan to visit the Magic Kingdom on Saturdays and Sundays.

More Exciting Changes for Annual Passholders
In addition to the change of the park reservation requirement, Walt Disney World has also announced two exciting changes for Annual Passholders.
First, beginning March 20, 2023, Annual Passholders will receive complimentary access to Disney PhotoPass lenses and one, free Cinderella Castle Mural of Memories experience.
