Ever since Disney released the start date of Disney Genie as October 19, I have been asked about an easy way to understand the difference between Disney Genie, Disney Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selections. So, I am hoping to provide the necessary information in the simplest form possible in this post. Please always feel free to contact me with any other questions you might have as I am always happy to help.
