Breaking news! Disney Genie is launching at Walt Disney World October 19!
Here are the details from the Disney Parks Blog:
Available for guests right in the My Disney Experience app, the complimentary Disney Genie service offers new features that let you create your best Disney day.
These features include a personalized itinerary creator that effortlessly and smartly maps out an entire day inspired by the things you love – helping you make the most of your park time so you can have more fun.

Similar to a navigation app on your phone, Disney Genie continues to update your itinerary from morning to night as the day changes, so you can stay spontaneous and go with the flow – whether you need a nap, encounter an unexpected rain shower or want to take a detour for a Mickey ice cream bar.
Disney Genie puts guests at the center of the experience by prioritizing ways to:
- Reduce time in lines while keeping in mind your top picks
- Pace your day with experiences you’ll enjoy – and haven’t already done yet
- Build around your existing plans like dining reservations and Park Hopper preferences
Disney Genie uses 50+ years of knowledge and expertise in how guests visit our parks to make the experience better for everyone.
With this launch, Walt Disney World will also be introducing the Lightning Lane entrance. Available for purchase through our Disney Genie+ add-on at more than 40 attractions – or individually, “à la carte” at some of the most highly demanded attractions – the Lightning Lane entrance can save you time waiting in line.
