Happy Sunday friends!
There is SO MUCH news to report this week, so let’s get right to it!

Starting in Walt Disney World…
2023 vacation packages will be available beginning June 8th! I always recommend booking your vacation package as soon as you have dates – booking early ensures you the best resort availability. And, since the $200 deposit is fully refundable, we can always modify your package if your plans change! If you’re not already on my list, fill out a quote form here.
It was also announced that beginning June 8th, Disney Genie+ will only be offered through the My Disney Experience app on the day of visit – guests will no longer be able to purchase this service pre-arrival as a ticket add-on.
We also received new information about how to ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind when it opens on May 27th! There will initially be no stand-by queue. In order to ride, you will need to either purchase Individual Lightning Lane access or obtain a spot in the virtual queue which will open at 7:00 am and 1:00 pm daily. Guests staying at a deluxe Disney Resort will have an additional opportunity to enter the virtual queue at 6:00 pm on nights the park has extended hours for deluxe resort guests.
As always, if you’ve booked your vacation package with me, I will provide detailed instructions in your travel documents on how to access the queue.
