The Disney Genie, the end of Extra Magic Hours and more: What will the future be like?

With all that's happening in Disney Parks these days and with the Disney Genie planning app once supposedly coming our way ("late in 2020" according to Disney last year at D23) what will the Walt Disney World vacation planning process be like and how will it be different?

Walt Disney World Vacation Planning will Never Be the Same

As Disney explores new ways to manage FastPasses, dining and more, several factors are impacting how the entire Disney World vacation planning process will change (and hopefully progress) in the months ahead. Covid-19 summer is affecting Disney's FastPass+ system and dining reservations (and more) and the impending release of the all-new Disney Genie planning app is on the horizon for release in late 2020. Or will it be released at all? How long will the Park Pass be in place?

With all of these factors in play, we know that the current mottled process of trying to plan a Walt Disney World vacation is going to change (and hopefully for the better). The current system can be very stressful, which is something that needs to be addressed as Disney looks for ways to enhance the overall guest experience.

How Will the Walt Disney World Vacation Planning Process be Different?

In Episode 26 of our Disney Travel Podcast, we take a look at what the future may hold for Walt Disney World vacation planning and how the process may be drastically different than it is today. 

• Will the Disney vacation planning process be better or worse? 
• Will travel agents still have a prominent role in planning Walt Disney World vacations? 
• Will the Disney Genie app fill the needs of all types of Disney travelers, or will it be launched at all?
  

Join us for a look ahead at what the planning process might be like and what we hope to see as frequent vacationers to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.

As promised in the episode, we have included a link to the official Disney announcement for the Disney Genie app from August 2019.
