Hi there, Michelle! Welcome to planDisney!
I'm so excited to help you get started on your magical trip to the Disneyland Resort! The feeling of booking those hotel rooms is a milestone in itself, so let's get you ready to secure your January 2026 dates. I know the feeling of wanting to have those plans locked in so you can start the official countdown!
I did a little digging for you, and it looks like the full calendar for January 2026 isn't quite available just yet for booking at the Disneyland Resort hotels. Based on what we've seen in years past, we can typically expect the booking window to open in the late summer or early fall for the following year. This means we're in that sweet spot right now! My best advice is to keep checking the Disneyland website, as those dates could appear at any time.
Staying at the
Disneyland Resort hotels is such a treat! Did you know that hotel Guests get some wonderful perks? My personal favorite is the
Early Entry benefit, which allows you to enter either Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park 30 minutes before the general public on select days. It's a fantastic way to get a head start on some of your favorite attractions—perfect for an early morning drop-in on
Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: BREAKOUT!. Plus, staying on property keeps you right in the magic, with easy access to both theme parks and the
Downtown Disney District.
And what a great time you've chosen to visit, Michelle! You'll be right in the heart of the
Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration, which continues through at least the summer of 2026. The celebration is absolutely incredible, with new entertainment, delightful décor, and
limited-time merchandise. I was actually there just this past weekend and had a blast! The new
food and beverage options are out of this world, and let's be honest, I think the snacks are what really keep me coming back! Since you’ll be staying at a Disneyland Resort hotel, I'd also encourage you to check out the beautiful 70th Celebration decorations that are sprinkled throughout each of the resort properties!
The countdown to booking your magical vacation is on, Michelle! Keep checking back for those January 2026 dates, and you'll be on your way to an amazing trip. Also, be sure to keep an eye on the
special offers page as your booking window approaches, in case there are any great deals available for your January visit! I'm so excited for you to experience all the magic of the Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration. Please come back and see us here at planDisney if you have any other questions as you plan!
See ya real soon!
