Does Genie have a regular meet-and-greet at Walt Disney World? Unfortunately, he does not have a regular meet-and-greet at Disney World.

Does the Genie make regular appearances in any of the parks? We often see the Genie in the Adventure Friends Cavalcade at Magic Kingdom. However, he is not guaranteed. The schedule for the cavalcade is listed in the Entertainment section of the My Disney Experience app.

Places We’ve Seen Genie at Disney World: He usually meets with Jasmine at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party and at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. Both of these events are extra-ticketed, requiring an additional expense to visit the parks. However, the parties offer a chance to meet exceptionally rare characters.
