We say goodbye to Genie+ on July 23rd to say hello to Multi Pass on the 24th 😲 those like me who have been going to Walt Disney World for some time will see a a little similarity to the old FastPass+ which was replaced by Genie so this for me is a very welcome change!! How do you feel about the change? 💓
