Disney announced last month that a new planning program would be coming to the My Disney Experience app in Disney World called Disney Genie.

Genie is free and is designed to be used as a planning tool that is supposed to make your time at Disney World easier. It will have features like custom itineraries, forecasted wait times, and a virtual assistant. It’s scheduled to launch this fall, however, we do not have an official date yet. But today, we DID get a look at what Genie will look like when you’re using it on your phone!

During a media event today, we saw a demonstration of what Disney Genie will look like on your phone. This demonstration was only for Disney Genie, not Genie+ or the Individual Attraction Selections — the parts of the program that cost money.

In the new program, you’ll get to choose your park interests…

Tell Genie what you like

…and your Disney favorites.

Genie wants to know everything you love at Disney

You can even choose your “Top Picks” of attractions, entertainment, and dining locations. This is supposed to help Genie give you better suggestions based on what you enjoy.

Top Picks

If you switch over to your tip board, Genie will show you what’s going on with your Top Picks.

Genie keeps everything organized

It will also show you the next available reservation times and the walk-up list time for the restaurants in your Top Picks.

Way more convenient than asking the host at the restaurant!

Then, you can switch over to the “My Day” section to see your plans for the day all in one place.

It will show you the park hours for the park you have a park pass for, the hotel you’re staying at (if you’re staying on Disney property), your park pass, and, if you’re using Genie+, the Lightning Lane attraction you have scheduled.

Genie “My Day” Section

This is also where you’ll find the dining reservations you have scheduled for the day.

Don’t forget your reservation!

In this section will also be where Genie Recommendations will “fly” in, like this example showing which ride you should go on next. It tells you the best time to go to that ride and the forecasted wait time!

Where to next?

You can also see recommendations for dining locations and when the next mobile order window is available.

Hungry?

And, there are some filters that come with the app to use on your camera, like this one that turns you into Genie. It’s kind of fun, but also kind of scary — what are your thoughts?!

No thank you!

There is also another filter that will be a background of the 25th Anniversary birthday cake-themed Cinderella Castle. Yep, you’ll get to take pictures in front of the notorious cake castle again — just like people did in 1996!

Disclosure: In nearly all circumstances, Disney Food Blog writers and photographers pay full price for their own travel, hotel, food, beverage, and event tickets. We do this because it’s important to us as journalists to ensure not only that we give you unbiased opinions, but also that you can trust us to do so since we’re paying our own way. On rare occasions, when we are invited by a company to attend a preview as media, and when we choose to accept that invitation, we will always make you, our readers, aware of that situation. Today, we were invited by Disney World to attend their 50th anniversary media event. Note that when we attend events as media we are 1) Not required to review that event/food on any of our channels, and 2) Not required to review that event/food favorably. You can always count on DFB to give you a 100% unbiased and honest review of any event that we attend, food that we eat, or beverage that we drink. You can see more in our Disclosure Policy.
