Hi there Kirstin,
Welcome to planDisney! Thank you so much for visiting today, and sending us your question. I love that you've got a magical countdown in mind, and have selected some excellent winter dates for 2026. February is one of my family's absolute favorite times to visit! I enjoy the off-season, lower pricing, and we all enjoy the lower crowds. So two Mickey thumbs up on your vacation plans!
While we do not yet know when Disney will release their 2026 vacation packages for booking, it honestly could be any day now. Historically, the next year's reservations are opened up any time from Spring to Summer. Your best bet is to watch the official Disney channels, such as the
Disney Parks Blog where it will definitely be announced.
There is another option you can try, which is something I often like to do.... because I may, or may not, have an addiction to searching for potential Disney World trip dates! While using the "
Build Your Vacation" search tool at the top of the Disney World website, you'll be able to see when those 2026 months are enabled and available to reserve.
I'm sorry I didn't have a more exact answer to give you, Kirstin. But keep your faith, trust, and pixie-dust intact... and I know you'll have that 2026 reservation made before you know it! Even after you make your initial reservation, be sure to occasionally keep an eye on the
Special Offers page. If a discount or deal comes up for your dates, that will work with your plans, you can easily switch to that offer and save some money. Which in my opinion translates to more souvenirs and Mickey Ice Cream bars! Woo hoo!
Please feel free to send me any additional
questions at planDisney once you start adding those practically perfect details. I'd love to help sprinkle some pixie-dust on your wonderful vacation!
Magical Memories Await,
Tami
