When is this genie thing coming

I’m due to go feb and I’m getting jittery about it all with the whole genie thing. When is it all coming in /going live?

I think it was “in the Fall” ? By October I’m guessing.

Fall 2021. Don't get jittery, us UK/EU guests will have time to digest all the information before we go. Plenty of vloggers and bloggers will have time to try it out and be posting about it, giving their hints and tips, before February.

Agree with the above, we'll have all the info by the end of the year. Genie will be running by November at the latest (although I think they'll try to have it up and running within the next month) and all the vloggers are going to be doing videos on it.

Nobody knows.

If they don’t have some sort of FP system in place to handle the 1 October crowds, I would be very surprised. No-one wants the story to be ‘5-hour waits in MK on 50th anniversary’.

But equally, if they launch too close to 1 October there will be the usual teething problems and glitches.

Adding Genie+ before hand will actually make the standby queues longer (wait wise), but reduce the actual queue length.

All Disney have said is "fall", I wouldn't say there is much to be jittery about, you see over the next few months on how it works, plenty of youtubers will be recording it I'm sure, and then you can make your choice on what you do with it. Bare in mind Feb is quite a quiet time for crowds, you may not need it
