On its way.

Is it travelling by high speed rail or hitch-hiking?

Is it travelling by high speed rail or hitch-hiking?

I’d hope it was scrapped due to being deemed as a blatant cash grab.

But this is the era of Bob.

As I understand it Genie will be a MDX add on. It would have to be really to try and force you to buy passes.

And then there’s Genie+....

Where do I go online to pay to get to use Genie before everyone else?

Too late. It’s been in use for quite a while.

Debated where to put this, but seems most likely to be related to this topic (and too little info for a new thread).

DisneyInsta awash in reports of "influencers" who tried some new secret project at Blizzard yesterday. Tapu Tapu clone possibly tied into Genie?

I'd bet one dole whip that it's nothing more exciting than a summer annual pass. Blizzard seems to be a ghost town

What he meant to say was that Disney Genie app will dramatically change Disney's revenue.

 

[wdwmagic]

Bob is super excited about Genie.

"Essentially it is going to take the consumer preferences that we note from our consumers, given what we note from them and blend that with basically industrial engineering data in terms of how the park is operating that day and meld them together to make suggestions on the fly that not only will lead to the improved guest experience and lead to substantial commercial opportunities for us as the guest navigates their days"

They will be able to spend less time waiting in line

Yup, that pretty much confirms that Genie will contain the replacement for FP+.

 

[TTA94]

Haven’t been following this subject to closely but will Genie replace MDE? And how is Genie going to work for local APs who do not plan things out to far in advance and or go to the parks last minute?

Indeed. And for Genie to be near the top of the list of things to talk about to investors today, I think we know what that means.

Maybe a bolt on to MDX as a container, but Genie is more a concept that can operate in a variety of mechanisms.

 

[aaronml]

Was it confirmed on the call that Genie is coming to DLR also, not just WDW?

No it wasn't.

I thought Genie was a magical being?!?

probably wont and is probably designed to push us out, they would love to be rid of ap's even though I know they are selling passes again. But as it is they don't want last minute anything and have sucked all the fun out of going over for the day making it more and more complicated. I hope the genie includes restroom reservations, for a price of course. Im being sarcastic yes but would not be the least bit surprised either. Aside from revenue, control control that's all all of this.

Robin Williams conveniently dead so he doesn't have to tell them to go to Hell.

It's... "multi-tiered."
