We know exactly how to optimize a day. So with technology advancing, we’re able to take all that information and all of that data that our industrial engineers have and serve it up in a very convenient way to our guests.“Disney"You tell Genie what you are interested in specifically — whether that be an attraction, a food, a character — and Genie’s going to come back to you and tell you how to make the most of your day,” D’Amaro explained to the outlet.Disney Genie and Genie+ will launch at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort this fall.
