There are lots of incredible resources out there for folks looking to plan a Walt Disney World trip. Frankly, that’s far from our primary purpose at Park Lore! While I’ve assembled these guides as what I hope are helpful, fun, and accessible little walkthroughs that I’ll work to keep updated at least quarterly as policies, prices, and attractions change, consult Disney’s official channels and top-tier experts like Touring Plans for the most up-to-date details. For your information, these guides were last updated Fall 2022.
Magic ain’t gonna make itself. And that’s exactly what we’re here for. Sure, Park Lore doesn’t often dip into “trip planning,” but the “Year of the Genie” has cast a spell across us all, fundamentally changing what a Disney Parks trip looks like… and what it costs.
Launched on October 19, 2021, Disney World’s paid-for replacement for FastPass+ has arguably altered a whole lot about making the most of a Walt Disney World visit, and today, we want to offer our lived advice for how to get your magic (and money’s) worth from Disney’s controversial new “service.”
