6 Things You Need to Know If You’re Going to Disney World This June

Disney World has changed a LOT recently!

EPCOT

We’ve seen updates with Genie+, the addition of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and a bunch of new snacks, to name a few. If you’re heading to the parks this month, you may be a bit overwhelmed with everything going on, so we’re rounding up all the things you need to know if you’re visiting Disney World in June 2022!

Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue Returns

If you’ve been craving some top-tier entertainment with your meal at Disney World, then you’ll be happy to know that the rowdy and hilarious Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue is returning soon! The dinner show reopens on June 23rd, and reservations are now available to book on the Disney World website.

Hoop-Dee-Doo Pioneer Hall Players

When it returns, Hoop-Dee-Doo will have some new upgrades. Disney shared that they updated the sound and lighting systems, and changed up the script slightly, as well as the scenery. We can’t wait to see what this slightly altered version is like when we stop by on opening night! Stay tuned for a full review.

New Rooms Open at the Grand Floridian

Disney World’s fanciest hotel has been getting a makeover these past few months, and it’s almost time to check out some brand-new rooms! Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort has been under construction to add new DVC Resort Studios to the Big Pine Key Building. We’ve been watching the construction progress and we even got to peek inside one of the new rooms, but later this month, guests will be able to stay inside.

These rooms are officially available for booking for check-in starting June 20th. They’re inspired by the movie Mary Poppins Returns and they’ve been updated with new furniture, features, and decor. This could be the luxury accommodations you’ve been dreaming of!

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Disney has confirmed that Early Theme Park Entry will be a returning perk for next year, and the 50th Anniversary celebrations will continue through March, so there’s still time to check those offerings out if you haven’t been yet!

Genie+ Booking is Changing

And June 8th isn’t just an important date for 2023 travelers, it’s also the day that some big changes are coming for Genie+ in Disney World. Currently, guests can purchase Genie+ in advance by adding it to their tickets or package, but that will no longer be the case starting June 8th.

Disney Genie

Beginning on that date, guests will only be able to purchase Genie+ one day at a time for their vacation, starting at midnight on that day. This means you’ll either need to stay up late or wake up early during your trip to purchase it for each day that you’d like to use the new system. Keep in mind that Genie+ reservations are available to book at 7AM each morning, so you’ll want to make sure you buy it before then to get those benefits!

In the next few weeks, a BUNCH of new menu items are coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant is getting a menu revamp, and several new options are being added to the 50s Prime Time Cafe menu as well. On top of that, we’re getting some special snacks!
