As of yet we don’t know anything regarding a specific date, but speculation points to on or around October 1st as being the most likely. I think it’d be best for them to do a soft release prior to that in order to smooth out any kinks, but we’ll just have to wait and see how Disney rolls Genie/Genie+ out.What better time to launch and an entirely new system, than during the biggest park celebration in fifty years. I am finding it difficult to plan for my upcoming trip. Any rumors on the launch day of Genie+?
I'm wondering also. I arrive on the 25th and hope that I can get it for my stay.What better time to launch and an entirely new system, than during the biggest park celebration in fifty years. I am finding it difficult to plan for my upcoming trip. Any rumors on the launch day of Genie+?
I would of thought they would want everything to run smoothly well before the 50th. Not going to look good when it goes belly up and there will be reports of it going all wrong rather than the positive aspects of the 50th.I agree. This was not well thought out. We all know how Disney IT works....
Why wait to start such a huge roll-out for when you have the most people? From what I hear, crowds are low now - so NOW would be a great time to roll it out and see how it works.

Honestly how buggy could it be? All they are doing is tweaking the existing fast pass system- changing labels, changing the parameters around when you can book, how many reservations, and how far out, and removing a handful of rides. There's no way it isn't the same system.

It’s Disney IT. It will literally be a miracle if it works like they’re claiming it will. They can’t maintain their website, make people wait in lines for normal transactions on the website, can’t keep ADR booking from being a mess and can’t even implement ticket to annual pass upgrades on their app. And oof- shall we discuss password reseting bug as of late? I’ve been forced to reset my Disney password at least a half a dozen times over the last couple weeks.Honestly how buggy could it be?

Well, it isn't that new. It is just new at WDW. MaxPass has been at DL for a long time. DLP has been doing this IA$$$ thing. I think they had MaxPass too. Could be wrong on that. Of course, it is Disney IT, so I'm glad I don't have a fall trip. But it isn't as new to Disney as people seem to think.
Actually it's not far off how much some of the PI's do, which explains how some bad decisions are made.One thing I find weird. I was talking to a friend at work who is a total Disney nut. Her college-aged daughter was looking into programing internships. Disney was in the top three. As a Disney nut, she knew what a mess Disney IT is. Unless, of course, they have too many of the kids doing the actual work. Maybe that is it.
