DISNEY NEWS ROUNDUP: Genie+ Update – Disney Reverses Decision; Halloween Party Menus Revealed; Fireworks Desert Party Returns; New Dinner Show Offer & More
Disney reverses Genie+ decision, Holiday news, food news, and more below in this week’s Disney news roundup.
1 – Disney Genie+ Attractions List Updated – Disney Reverses Previous Decision
Back in February, Disney moved four popular attractions from the Individual Lightning Lane attractions category to the Disney Genie+ category because of the high demand for attraction return times with Genie+. When announced, the change was supposed to be temporary and only last through August 7. However, this week Disney updated the Genie+ attractions list to include those attractions for the foreseeable future. Learn more, including which attractions you can enjoy with Genie+ at the link below.

2 – Disney Reveals Menu for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party Treats
The first Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is coming up quickly, and Disney has released the menu for the Halloween-themed food and beverage items that will be available exclusively at this year’s party. Learn more at the link below.
3 – Firework Dessert Parties Return to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party
This week we learned that the fireworks parties are returning to Mickey’s No So Scary Halloween Party. There will be two options available for guests: viewing in the Plaza Garden or seated viewing at Tomorrowland Terrace. Both options require admission to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, as the dessert party does not include park admission. Reservations open online on August 9. Visit the link below for more details.
4 – New Dinner and a Show Offer at Disney Springs
Drawn to Life is the new Cirque du Soleil show at Disney Springs, and we’re huge fans. A new offer has been announced that gives guests a chance to catch the show and a meal at a special rate at Disney Springs. Visit the link below for details on the offer and how you can take advantage of it.
