We’re having a TIME learning about the upcoming Disney Genie service.

The new service is coming this fall to the Disneyland App and My Disney Experience and will be a whole new tool for Disney guests to use when planning their vacations. We’ve looked into the FastPass replacement, Genie+, the personalized itinerary, and more, but here are the FIVE most MIND-BLOWING features.

1. Real-time, Personalized Itinerary Suggestions

First up, we’re looking at one specific aspect of the personalized itinerary. The personalized itinerary will take into consideration your priorities (whether they be specific like a must-do ride or broad like your love of princesses) to build your family the perfect itinerary.

That’s pretty cool, but the really MIND-BLOWING part is that this personalized itinerary will update throughout the day! It will change depending on what happens in the day (it can even change depending on the weather!). When you think about the number of people who will be getting personalized updates constantly, it seems pretty wild!

2. Forecasted Future Wait Times

Another thing that the personalized itinerary takes into account are forecasted future wait times, and you can check these outside of your itinerary as well. Let that sink in: You can see what the wait times might be LATER in the day.

This is a feature that we have not seen before! We’ve been able to see the wait times in real-time in the Disney Parks apps, but that’s not always helpful in planning what you’ll be doing in the afternoon. Now, you can see whether or not it would be a good idea to head to Space Mountain after lunch.

3. Disney PhotoPass AR Lenses

If you pay for the Genie+ upgrade for that Lightning Lane access, you’ll also get PhotoPass downloads if you’re in Disneyland and new Disney PhotoPass Augmented Reality lenses if you’re in Disney World.

Wow! AR lenses? This tech will act a little bit like Magic Shots straight from your phone. So, you might see magical effects or a Disney character added to your pictures with these lenses! 

4. Audio Experiences

Genie+ will also offer you new Audio Experiences. For those buying the Genie+ level, you’ll get access to Audio Experiences that are themed to different areas of the park.

Expect to hear thoughts from Imagineers and special guests about behind-the-scenes aspects of Disney World and Disneyland attractions and lands. This sounds a bit like a guided tour, so it will be interesting to see it in action!

5. Lightning Lane for Virtual Queue Attractions

And finally, we are MIND-BLOWN that you’ll be able to purchase Lightning Lane (basically the new FastPass line) for attractions that have been Virtual Queue only up to this point. Rise of the Resistance and WEB-SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure will continue to use the Virtual Queue and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in EPCOT will use one when it opens too.

But with Disney Genie, you can pay an unannounced fee (based on date, ride, and park) to get Lightning Lane access to these high-demand attractions and others. A small fee to skip the hassle of a Virtual Queue? That could be worth it for some guests!
