Hiya Jennifer!
Welcome to planDisney and thanks for stopping by with your question. I love visiting the Parks just after the New Year starts. There's a magical freshness and eagerness in the air as the Resort prepares for the coming year and crowd levels generally aren't as congested as everyone returns from their Holiday plans.
Historically, reservations for
Disneyland Resort Vacation Packages for the next calendar year have been released around late summer. Last year, Vacation Packages and Hotel reservations opened on August 24, 2023, so I would anticipate hearing something from the
Disney Parks Blog around that time or perhaps even earlier. Don't worry because I'm sure that you'll have plenty of time to iron out the details of your vacation once reservations open.
Where will you be staying for your trip? My favorite Hotel is the always classic
Disneyland Hotel. It brings back such a sense of nostalgia from my younger days. I love how they've managed to retain its original charm but have added modern touches to keep things current. Once you make your bookings, don't forget that dining reservations may be made 60 days in advance, so start thinking about where you'd like to eat. If you see an opening at
Lamplight Lounge, I'd recommend taking it!
Jennifer, I hope this was helpful for you and please feel free to contact us again if you have more questions. We'd love to be of any help in your planning and you're always welcome at planDisney!
Wishing You a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!
