🏰 Disney Genie+ Service Update for Walt Disney World Resort

We are making an adjustment to how guests purchase Disney Genie+ service at Walt Disney World Resort, which remains popular and in high demand amongst our guests.
Beginning June 8, Disney Genie+ will only be offered through the My Disney Experience app on the day of visit – we will no longer offer the option to purchase this service pre-arrival as a ticket add-on for dates remaining in 2022 and in 2023.
If guests have already purchased a ticket or package that includes Disney Genie+ service for dates in 2022 or 2023, and have received their My Disney Experience reference number, the service will be valid during their visit. The Disney team are working with tour operators and ticket providers on next steps

🌟 GALWAY 🌟

🌟 THERE’S CLOSE TO 500 PUBS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY
In 2018, AIB found that Galway is home to 475 fantastic boozers - so there’s certainly no shortage of pints around these parts! Considering there’s a population of 258,000, it works out at about one pub for every 506 people!

🌟 HOME TO THE LONGEST PLACE NAME IN IRELAND
Coming in at 22 letters and covering 470 acres of Connemara townland, Muckanaghederdauhaulia translates to ‘piggery between two briny places.

🌟 GALWAY HAS THE LARGEST GAELTACHT AREA IN IRELAND
To those of us who spent summers ag caint as gaeilge out in Connemara, this will come as so surprise. Not only is Galway home to the biggest Gaeltacht area in Ireland, it is also the most populated, followed by Donegal, Kerry and Mayo.

🌟 GALWAY IS THE FESTIVAL CAPITAL OF THE COUNTRY
Hosting about 122 festivals and events every year! Known for its vibrant street theatre and fantastic food, film and fringe festivities.

🌟 YOU CAN SEE IT ALL ON A SHORT STROLL
A ten minute stroll from Eyre Square will bring you all the way to Galway’s bohemian Westend, passing through Shop Street, Quay Street and the Latin Quarter in the process. Keep on walking and ten minutes later you’ll be greeted by the sights and sounds of Salthill.

🌟 HOME TO IRELAND’S SMALLEST MUSEUM
Located at 8 Bowling Green, Nora Barnacle’s House boasts the exclusive title of Ireland’s Smallest Museum. Behind the blue door of this compact 1800s building are photos and memorabilia from the life and times of James Joyce’s greatest love, muse and - eventually - his wife, Nora Barnacle.

🌟 HOME TO THE SECOND FASTEST FLOWING RIVER IN EUROPE
While the River Corrib, at just over 6 kilometers in length, is one of the smallest rivers in Europe, its speed cannot be denied. In full flow, the water can carry a person at up to 3 meters per second, making it the second fastest in all of Europe.

🌟 THE BIRTHPLACE OF AUTHENTIC IRISH MARBLE
Estimated to be about 600 million years old, Connemara marble - or Connemara Green - is one of the most authentically Irish products on the market, perfectly reflecting the beauty of the mountainous area. It’s even been used in many stately buildings, including the Gothic Church in Kylemore Abbey.

🌟 JOHN O'GROATS 🌟

🌟 John O'Groats is the most northerly town in Britain, on Scotland's northeasterly tip
🌟 It is popular as one end of the longest distances between two inhabited British points on the mainland, with Land's End in Cornwall lying 876 mi (1,410 km) southwest

📍JOURNEY'S END
The landmark "Journey's End" signpost at John o' Groats was installed in 1964 on private land and operated as a visitor attraction by a photography company that also operates its counterpart at Land's End. Visitors can get a photograph of themselves next to the signpost - you can display either a message or the date and distance to a location of your choice.

📍DUNNET HEAD
This rugged peninsula in Caithness, located on the north coast of Scotland, has the honour of being the most northerly point of mainland Britain and a short drive from John O'Groats. It's a wild and untamed landscape, with stunning sea cliffs and coastal grasslands which are home to puffins, razorbills, guillemots, fulmars and kittiwakes.

🥃 PULTENEY DISTILLERY, WICK
Should you fancy getting acquainted with whisky, Scotland’s national drink, a visit to Pulteney Distillery in Wick is a must. Take a tour to see behind the scenes at this historic distillery and discover the time honoured process that goes into crafting Old Pulteney single malt whiskies, known as the ‘Maritime Malt’. The experience is finished with whisky tasting!

⛴️ SKARA BRAE, ORKNEY © COLIN KELDIE
From May to September, take the John O’Groats ferry to Orkney and see many of the islands’ highlights. The crossing over the Pentland Firth takes only 40 minutes

🛣️ NORTH COAST 500
John O’Groats lies on an epic 500 mile driving route through the North Highlands! Adored by drivers, bikers and cyclists alike, the North Coast 500 is now world famous for its remote, rugged landscapes.

🌟 NORTHERN LIGHTS SPOTTING
It’s not surprising that the best chances of seeing Northern Lights are in the north – it’s in the name, after all! Even when there are low geomagnetic readings, this spectacle can often be seen from Caithness, dancing in clear skies over Orkney. The Aurora Borealis is a natural phenomenon so when it comes to witnessing them, it’s a case of being in the right place at the right time.

🌟 You’ll find there are wildlife boat trips, historical fishing ports and ancient chambered cairns and brochs to be experienced. And, of course, miles and miles of awe-inspiring coastline!
