Greetings and welcome back to
planDisney, Robert, thank you for your loyalty in consulting us for your plans!
How wonderful it is that you are planning a visit to
The Happiest Place on Earth so well in advance, Robert, this way you will have ample time to prepare for your vacation and to explore the wide array of
Disneyland Resort Events & Tours to enhance your visit.
Robert, I cannot actually pin a specific date for the availability of booking a stay at a Disneyland Resort Hotel. As a fellow Guest myself, I am not privy to that information. In referring to the current availability, it seems quite "typical" that Guest Room and vacation package bookings may open approximately 4 to 6 months in advance, so based on that, I would begin to explore sometime in the new year.
As well, in consultation with my fellow
planDisney panelist Eean, and with a Disneyland Resort Cast Member,
Disneyland Resort Vacation Packages for the new year may even open up later this summer, Robert. Therefore, I would recommend checking the official Disneyland Resort websites periodically by referring to the
Places to Stay tab on the
Main Page once signed in to your Disney account.
Please Note:As soon as you have booked your
Disneyland Resort Vacation Package you should receive an email with a link to view your theme park tickets and ID numbers to then proceed with making your
Disneyland Resort - Theme Park Reservations, as this is the process of visiting the theme parks at this time. You will also be able to secure your park reservations via your Disneyland Resort Hotel reservation, as your theme park tickets will be tied to that package.
Also, when booking a
Disneyland Resort Vacation Package kindly ensure your vacation package is linked to your Disney account by accessing the
My Disneyland planning area once signed in. This is a vital step, as it will facilitate the electronic delivery of your
Travel ePackage to your Disney account 4-days prior to your arrival. Your
Travel ePackage will contain your theme park ticket ID numbers, your travel itinerary and your
Magical Extras voucher.
Tips:Download the
Disneyland Mobile App to manage your plans before and during your visit - update the Payment Method to enable app transactions to enjoy many vacation essentials, such as the convenience of
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering, adding the
Disney Genie+ service to save time waiting in lines for attractions that offer the Lightning Lane entrance.
Robert, it was my honour assisting you today and we look forward to optimizing your visit to the Disneyland Resort by sharing many more first-hand tips and advice.
Wishing you a positively
Magical day!
Jacqueline
