Hey there, hi there, ho there, you’re as welcome as can be to planDisney, Richard!
I’m so glad you’re planning ahead for your next visit to the Happiest Place on Earth! There’s nothing I love more than mapping out my family’s magical plans before we arrive. Currently,
Disneyland Resort Hotel reservations are available through December of 2022. I did some research, and discovered that
Vacation Packages and Resort Hotel reservations tend to open for the following year by the end of summer, typically by the end of August. I recommend checking the website or checking back with us in June or July to see if we have any updates we can pass along!
Have you picked which Disneyland Resort Hotel you’d like to stay at yet? I’ve been lucky enough to stay at all three hotels, and love each one for a different reason! Personally, I adore
Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa thanks to its convenient theme-park access to
Disney California Adventure Park, and the wonderful dining options. My little Mouseketeers are obsessed with the
Disneyland Hotel, thanks to the thrilling monorail waterslides!
Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel is another great option, thanks to the awesome rooftop pool and gorgeous views of Disney California Adventure Park.
You’ll also want to start thinking about your
theme-park tickets and reservations. Currently,
theme-park reservations can be made up to 120 days in advance, subject to availability, so you have a little time to wait on booking those. You’ll be able to choose between a One Park Per Day ticket or a Park Hopper ticket. With the One Park Per Day option, you’ll select one theme park, and stay there the entire day, whereas with a Park Hopper, you’ll select one park to start in, and then “hop” to the other park any time after 1:00 PM.
Last but not least, don’t forget to think about my favorite part…
dining reservations! There are so many wonderful options, so I recommend checking out the menus ahead of time. My family dined at
Wine Country Trattoria a few nights ago, and enjoyed the most delicious meal al fresco on the terrace. I love the setting of this Italian-inspired meal!
I’m sending loads of pixie dust your way as you plan the ultimate Disneyland Resort vacation for 2023!
