Walt Disney World theme park tickets and resort bookings for 2023 will officially open on Wednesday, June 8.
In a Disney Parks Blog post published Wednesday, Communications Manager Eric Scott also confirmed that Disney's early theme park entry benefit allowing Disney Resort guests the opportunity to enter any of the four theme parks to experience select attractions, shops and dining every day with valid admission, park reservation and Resort ID will continue beyond Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary-which runs through March 2023-to include visits throughout all of 2023.
Disney also announced that beginning June 8, the Disney Genie+ service will only be offered for purchase through the My Disney Experience app on the day of guests' visit and will no longer be available to purchase pre-arrival as a ticket add-on for dates remaining in 2022 and in 2023.
"This means that moving forward, whether you have an Annual Pass, multi- or single-day ticket, you may only purchase Disney Genie+ service on the day of your visit via the app, one day at a time, subject to availability," the blog post stated. "We're focused on delivering the best possible guest experience, and this adjustment will help manage the incredibly strong demand our guests have shown for Disney Genie+."
Disney anticipates that, on average, Disney Genie+ guests will continue to capitalize by entering two to three attractions or experiences each day using the Lightning Lane entrance when the first selection is made early in the day.
The latest news comes one month after Walt Disney World eliminated all mask requirements, making them optional for all guests, regardless of their COVID-19 vaccination status, indoors, outdoors and while using Disney transportation such as buses and monorails.
