Welcome to planDisney, Michelle! Few things are as exciting as having a Disneyland Resort vacation to look forward to. Just knowing your trip is on the horizon can make the countdown feel magical. Early spring is a beautiful time to visit: cool mornings, blooming flowers, and parks buzzing with energy set the perfect stage for adventure.
Looking ahead,
vacation packages and
hotel pricing for 2026 are anticipated to be released in August 2025. Disney has not shared an exact date yet, and sometimes the timeline shifts, so I recommend checking the
Disney Parks Blog often. It’s the most reliable place for official updates on package releases, seasonal offerings, and special extras.
As for
theme park tickets and
reservations, the booking window is generally about 180 days in advance, though this can vary. Since your trip is planned for March 2026, you’ll want to begin checking for availability around September. Keep an eye on the Theme Park Tickets page of the Disneyland website. It’s the most accurate source of current details. Securing your plans early not only ensures peace of mind but also gives you the chance to enjoy those spring touches around the resort, from the gardens near Sleeping Beauty Castle to the colorful blooms around “it’s a small world.”
An extra layer of magic awaits, too: Disneyland’s 70th anniversary celebration will still be underway! Highlights include the triumphant return of Paint the Night, where the music has a way of getting everyone to sing along, and the dazzling Tapestry of Happiness projections, which transform the “it’s a small world” façade into a storybook of Disneyland memories.
To make the most of your days, consider purchasing the Lightning Lane Multi Pass. This convenient option allows you to secure return times for top attractions like Space Mountain, Indiana Jones Adventure, and Haunted Mansion. You can purchase ahead of time or on the day of your visit, then make your selections in the Disneyland app once you’ve entered the park. It’s a wonderful way to maximize fun while minimizing wait times.
Michelle, I hope this helps set the stage for your springtime Disneyland visit. Please visit us again at planDisney if you’d like more tips for building an itinerary that’s just right for your family.
Here’s to blooming flowers, glowing parades, and a trip brimming with magic,
David
