VACATION PACKAGE UPDATE! This email has been going out to guests with vacation packages as of this evening, with details on what they'll get access to (or at least more info than before) and the note that their breakfast in Diagon may turn into a lunch or dinner due to pre-scheduled & limited time frames. Thanks to @SamanthaSamuel on twitter for this screenshot!
I bought the vacation package for the WWoHP less than a week ago and the guest service and vacation package people said that 1.) not many packages have sold due to the price (for the Portofino for 3 nights, FL res discount, and no tickets, it was still over $1000 for me and my mum) and 2.) with the package before July 8th, you get guaranteed access into Diagon Alley but the only uncertainty is Gringotts (which is understandable). Hope this helps clear up the confusion about the package. :)
Thanks so much for the details! I’m actually about to post an image of a email that has been going out to guests starting this evening. Hopefully there’s still some availability based on what you told us! :)
Update on the mysterious Diagon Alley vacation packages...they do exist, for travel starting June 29th, based on availability. At this point, there may not be any packages left for before the 8th (or even in the next few months!) but it's nice to have confirmation from the Universal website that this specific package does include early entry to both halves of WWoHP and breakfast in both restaurants.

If you haven't heard of the new Gillywater drink yet, you purchase a bottle of the base Gillywater, and then add one of the Elixers of Refreshment, combining them to make a flavored drink rumored to have magical benefits. Flavors available will include Fire Protection Potion, Babbling Beverage, Draught of Peace, and Elixer to Induce Euphoria. You can see some more photos at TouringPlans.com.
