2023 Disney World Packages Now Available
Starting today you can now book a 2023 Walt Disney World vacation package, room-only reservation and order theme park tickets.
While not much has changed in terms of offerings, there are a few updates to share.
Packages 500 Days Out
Packages can be booked 500 days out. For example, on June 8, you can book a Disney World package through October 21, 2023.
Pirate Rooms Will Walk the Plank in 2023
Pirate themed room at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
Pirate rooms at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort are not being offered in 2023. No word yet on what will be happening with these rooms.
Pirate themed rooms are located in the remote Trinidad section of the resort. The idea was to give the least desirable rooms at the resort a pirate makeover, and hope that guests wouldn’t mind how far these rooms were from the lobby, pool, and dining.
While they were pretty neat, the beds were small - most rooms had 2 double size beds while standard rooms at the resort had 2 queen beds).
Pirate rooms also cost more than a standard room.
Things changed however when Disney Skyliner opened. The rooms in the Trinidad section suddenly became more desirable, because they are a short walk away.
Disney will likely re-theme the pirate rooms and likely charge a premium for them due their proximity to Disney Skyliner.
No Dining Plans in 2023
Last August I received an email from Disney with updates about Walt Disney World. It mentioned that the Disney Dining Plans would be returning “soon.”
The dining plans could return at any time, but I am surprised that they are not being offered in 2023 packages as of today.
King Bed Rooms at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts
King bed room at Disney’s Beach Club Resort
In 2023 you can now book a room with a king bed at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resort. Previously rooms with kind beds were assigned based on the number of occupants and by making a room request.
Rooms with king beds are now an option in the Disney World booking engine.
