$25 is the floor, by the way.
This effectively nullifies the 20% off discount given to keyholders (at best, since again the price varies by day).

I bought tickets from UT. Thought maybe I'd add Genie+ for a day while we're there.
Is there a way to buy it now, at $25, rather than wait to get into the park and find out it's higher because of dynamic pricing? I've tried through the app and I think I don't have a choice but to wait... But I figured I'd ask those that know more than me.

I’m pretty sure the price is set at $25 at the DLR. It’s WDW that has tiered pricing.
I believe Genie+ can only be bought once you enter one of the parks.
Only if you purchase Genie+ ahead of time - it appears day of purchases can vary.

Disney once again making me feel better about deciding not to renew our APs (for the first time in a decade).

In case it helps anyone else... Here's what I ended up doing:
I had bought 3 day hoppers from Undercover Tourist a couple months ago. No Genie+. My intention was to buy a couple days of Genie on the fly while on our trip if the lines were too long.
I made my park and dinner reservations weeks ago.
The price hike was announced today. UT still has some quantity of tickets at the now "old" price, both with and without Genie+.
Since UT has a 100% refund policy, I bought new 3 day hoppers WITH Genie+ (at the old price). I then linked the new tickets in the app.
I then called UT and they canceled my first (non Genie) order.
This allowed me to keep my park and dinner reservations, and get tickets at the "old" ticket price, and still get Genie for $20 a day, rather than waiting till I'm in the park, where the cost could even be higher than the new $25 price, and I'd have no other options.
So if you happen to have tickets that are refundable, and if you were on the fence about Genie+, it can still be done for the old price. It took me about 10 mins total.

I’m here (yesterday and today) and when I went to buy Genie+ and saw $25 I was confused. Literally came the first day they raised it. I can confirm Rise is $25 and Web Slingers is regular LL (no extra cost). RSR is $18.
Btw, there was a downpour for about 15 minutes this morning and all outdoor rides were down for an hour.

But you have to pay $25 every day. A 3-day visit for a family of 4 would be $300.

Only one person in the family needs photo pass so it would only cost $75. Plus it’s included Genie + so it’s just an extra bonus. Basically would feel like it’s free.

One person yes but mulitple people can't use the Genie+ lightning lane aspect with one person purchasing.
I was only talking about the Photopass piece of it. If you include the price of comparable items at WDW, it would be at least $20/day per person (with variable pricing now could be more) plus the cost of Photopass.
A single day of Photopass at WDW is $69. You can get unlimited for $169 if you prepurchase. But that's still more than one person buying Genie+ at DLR without even considering LL benefits.

Right. Ok so $75 not $300.

I ate at Club 33 today and saw an art piece depicting the Haunted Mansion, seemingly when all the ghosts folks were still alive, having some sort of soirée. If they ever sold a replica of this, I’d actually purchase it. Zoom in so you can actually see the details (this was the closest I could get without running into the piano).

It's a special place! How'd you like it? I had the privilege of going there once a few years back and am thankful to have the experience.

Gorgeous. And that underlid painting on that harpsichord is stunning too. Definitely on my bucket list to see it in person one day.
