I think this has been the works for a bit and on the surface of it, I think it should improve Genie+ experience for a couple of reasons:
- The parks aren't equally weighed with the amount of attractions. MK and AK should not cost the same amount.
- MK can handle more Genie+ users, but under the old system if it sold out at AK - it sold out for MK.

Who is willingly just buying the Magic Kingdom one if the mult-park one is the same price?
Where's the incentive to just buy the MK one?

What happens if you want to upgrade from the one park option to the multi-park?
"Asked if guests who purchased the service for one park could upgrade to a multi-park option after the fact, a Walt Disney World spokesperson informed us that guests could purchase Genie+ for the additional park and visit Guest Services to be refunded the difference between the combined total and the Multi-Park price."

Yep.
100% sure it is!
With the bookings pillow soft, don't rule out some Bubble Perks returning from the grave. They won't keep running 40% promos seasonally without some changes that will benefit the consumer.
Is it cheaper to bolt on free Dining, Genie+ with packages or provide airport transfers than to discount rooms $100-400/night?

Thank god I’m a weekday pass holder. I don’t need to ever invest or buy this crap or LL
That said, Disney really does not want people park hopping anymore is my impression between this and no hopping until after 2. And people are not going to spend full days at Epcot or AK, at least not with some repetitiveness. Especially AK. So e this will make MK even more crowded with less hopping, IMO. Again Disney kicks the freakin can down the road. Build, more, freakin, capacity.

As we recently shared, we are working on ways to simplify the Disney Genie+ service, including offering the ability to plan before the day of your visit, which many Guests have asked for. We plan to share more news in the future, but in the meantime, we also want to improve the experience for guests using the service as it exists today, so we will be making an update as we continue to listen to guests.
Beginning June 27, Guests at Walt Disney World will now purchase Disney Genie+ service based on how they want to visit. Guests will be able to select either a single-park option or a multiple-parks option, subject to availability. With this update, prices may now be lower at some Walt Disney World theme parks compared to others. Guests will continue to be able to purchase Disney Genie+ service through the My Disney Experience app on the day of their visit.
We will continue to listen to guest feedback, and look forward to sharing more information about updates to Disney Genie+ in the future.

No one thought "Disney made it super complicated to use, but hey, let's lean into that and make it even more complicated and convoluted for customers!!!" Good call, disney.

And increasing cost at MK and Multipark
Also, currently they need to stop selling when any park reaches the max # they would sell, now they can keep selling at other parks even if one is full
So if MK sells out, can keep selling at AK or EPCOT (for example)
In the end, will cost more for people just doing MK or hoping and maybe a bit more for DHS. Will cost less for people only doing Epcot and AK than under the old method
In aggregate I am sure Disney things they will make more total $

If you don't have park hopers you won't be able to by the Multipark. The multipark will only be available if you have hopers attached to your account a

Nothing like spending an hour of your time in MK where you already paid $159 to get in to have to stand in line at guest relations to get a $6 refund.
