Any travel agents (or guests) have a hint as to when Genie is starting?

[BroadwayHermione5]

As the title says, does anyone have a hint as to when Genie+ is starting. With all the rumors swirling around, especially given our trip is during one of the top three rumored dates, are they going to let us hotel guests know? Have we heard anything? Should we be expecting an email?


Thanks in advance. You all are the real MVPs navigating this.

My understanding is that there is a TA call today to go over things. Whether or not that is specific dates is hard to say.

What are the rumoured dates?

Thank you.
I guess you can say we are just frustrated this might happen right in the middle of our trip.

What are the rumoured dates?

I’ve heard the most: mis September, October 1st and November 1st the most out of any other dates.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't up and running by October 1st.

I've heard mid-October for the individual attraction selections (also called LL$ here). Specifically, Tuesday October 19th has been mentioned.

Genie and Genie+ are rumored to start late October or early November.

All subject to change. This is a very fluid situation.

I can see the lightning lane starting ahead of time actually that makes sense

Hmmm. We arrive on the 20th.

While I'd rather just try it all at once, I would be okay with only purchasing some of the upcharge rides on my trip.

Our trip is in 60 days. I just wish we could find out so I could figure out how to attack the rides...

 

[Pyxie]

I haven't seen anything other than the rumored dates. I would guess they would announce in advance, although they don't *have* to as it appears you purchase it daily as needed and not in advance.

I hope they give everyone at least a few days notice. I have our 929 -10/6 planned out. I don't want to have to rethink everything at the last minute.

Hope it’s all rolled out before we get there on November 17th!

Oh, geez. We arrive mid-October. So either I’ll be trying to figure this out while on my trip or I’ll have to ride standby the entire time. I’m not sure which to hope for.

This is why I am asking if anyone knows of a date. I feel like the announcement should've included one or should have waited until January 1st. As some others have said across the boards and social media, some people have heard lightning lane will be available in time for the 50th, but not Genie and Genie plus

Same…we arrive 10/16 and I’m really struggling trying to get a game plan for park days etc when I don’t know if it will be in place!

 

[rmclain73]

Has there been any news on when we will see Genie+ release? I saw one blog say the first week of Oct, but I am not sure how their track record is with rumors.

With all the signage going up I would bet soon. Seems ideal to have it available and some real word testing before the 50th

 

[AnnaKristoff2013]

Febrember 35th.

 

[JenSop]

Nothing yet.

 

[Bellefan76]

We've heard September 25th/26th

 

[PepperjackDragon]

It seems like they have been telling us all along. They have said coming this fall on the website, fall begins September 22nd and rise of resistance is switching to standby on sep 23rd, so I would guess sep 22 or 23? Probably want at least a good full week in for any kinks before oct 1st, so definitely much be 22-24th.
