A new version of the My Disney Experience app has been released just ahead of the July 24 launch of Walt Disney World's new Lightning Lane Pass system.

Version 8.01 of My Disney Experience is now available to download from the app store. In the release notes, Disney says, "Starting July 24, 2024, Lightning Lane Multi Pass will replace Disney Genie+ service and Lightning Lane Single Pass will replace individual Lightning Lane entry-and add some exciting new benefits. You can purchase these Lightning Lane passes and start choosing arrival times for experiences days in advance (subject to availability)."

Alongside the support for Lightning Lane Passes, Disney says, "We also fixed bugs and improved overall app."

Yes some definitely are better than others especially your CM comment. I stopped going there for years it got so bad but it has been better of late but agreed nothing to write home about anymore

Thats the crusher. My 11 y/o daughter being charged as an adult let alone the price they charge for kids…

The Chef Mickey dinner is a shadow of its former self.

Yeah…like trying to extract maximum yield through fomo tactics while having a general disdain for their customers at the top levels? That kinda thing?

The food is fine…but a terrible value if your goal is NOT to scarf as much food as possible before Minnie walks by… Especially the kids prices. Which is downright predatory…like orcas playing with a wounded seal. But they are banking bout $40 a kid in straight up profits there. Can’t say I blame them to be honest

I've got nothing against the buffets. Those are typically good on margins because the cost equation is better. I'm talking all the Tier 1 TS restaurants and third party locations that accept the DDP. They get squeezed by the DDP and the results speak for themselves in the mediocre nature of the culinary and value experience.

I said people. I wasnt directing it towards you… is the product perfect? No. What is? I can remember the days people hated FP even when it was free. Noone wants to pay extra for what was free. But for most of us on this site who are knowledgable know the game of what to pre book and understand drops we can definitely make it work imo.

I went to Boathouse this past May for my Dads bday everyone raved about the place so on and so forth. Now we are talking a legit restaurant not one inside a theme park To me nothing special. Over rated over hyped and definitely over priced…

I never said it brings zero value. Experience may vary

The food at the Snow White dinner was so good we wondered if it was still the Artist’s Point chefs.

Noone has to pay for it if people feel it brings zero value… plenty feel it serves a great purpose. Others dont.

Im not sure when last time any of you have eaten at these buffets but they offer some solid options all things considered.
