I think we on this board view Genie as something Disney is developing for customers like us. I think it is being developed for the guest that don’t know how much or don’t want to take part in the planning we do for a trip. If Disney can develop a tool for them to have an enjoyable trip and eliminate the bad word of mouth their trips generate, that is worth a ton of money to Disney.
You're right. It could have no (obvious) monetary aspect, but I guess I'm just too cynical to believe it, especially with this pay for FP rumor floating around. But, it could be more like MDE -- free, but built to assist the FP+ system which was made to keep people out of line so they could spend more money on food and souvenirs. But if that's the case, then why not just add the Genie's planning functionality to their already existing app?
I hope they will surprise us but I have a hard time expecting that, lol.
