Fellow CM here and I can tell you he is most likely going off the same information you are. This forum and other online rumors. CMs find out at the same time as the general public. I have friends who are in rehearsals for Fant and they don’t even really know when it’s set to open

Yes that’s what I figured but gave me some hope anyway. Thanks

Front line CMs like this don't have any extra inside information than we do here. More than likely, their source is places like this on the Internet.

Disney has announced that the performers are in rehearsal, and our insiders are pointing to the end of October (barring anything going wrong).

The Sacred Timeline

The following is a timeline of stuff for which we have a specific date, or our legit insiders have indicated. All the other stuff for which have no time frame at all, such as projects indefinitely on hold (e.g. Stitch's replacement, Mary Poppin attraction) are, by definition, indefinite and...

End of October would be GREAT! We’re there mid-November and F! Is DH’s favorite. We haven’t been back in 13 years and it is a milestone for us with events so it would be wonderful especially since our last night is a MVMCP so MK is out for us that night.

It sounds from those with sources the target is end Oct. As we all have seen its touch and go and even Chapek himself and whoever is in charge of the actual decision to open probably isn't 100 % sure still.

Crossing fingers for my Nov 7 visit. Much tighter than I'd have ever expected on this. I remember people saying July back in late April or so.

Bob Paycheck doesn’t care about this.

Watch them use Genie+ to book 90% of seating for the theater and then offer 10% for standby.

Guest:
“The show really is full?”

CM:
“Not if you book it through Genie+.”

We’ll do a dining package IF we can get it. DH’s favorite, want to do on our last night since it’s a MVMCP night and we usually do MK our last night but we won’t do the party. we’re on the West Coast so hoping I won’t have to get up at 3 am to get a dining package if and when they release them.

They’ll most likely use the same ratio of seating reserved for Genie+ as they did for Fastpass+ just like every other show/offering has. Nothing new or groundbreaking there.

The difference being F! plays in a stadium with a finite number of seats. The other two do not.

Yeah they also used to have Happily Ever After fast pass plus viewing areas in the hub that are no longer being used (well they’re being used for VIP tour viewing and dessert parties)

Genie Plus will replace some of those dining and dessert options. Why have to provide a meal and operations of such to those who may pay for it anyway, when you can charge that better seating per person?

Less staffing and easier ROI than a Dessert party.

Even on busy days, the Fastpass+ section never fully filled. They usually let bystanders sit in that section once the show starts.

I know I always sit nearby so when they remove the rope, I immediately move there and have a row/general area to myself.

You could almost always get a F+ up to showtime, so I would imagine Genie+ to be the same. Those unfortunate guests who get a Fantasmic! LL earlier in the day just frees up more supply for other rides for you then as they are blocked for the next 2 hours.
