Hiya, Emily!
I see that you're looking to get a head start on your 2026 vacation planning, so you've come to the right place. Welcome to planDisney!
I'm a firm believer that it's always a
practically perfect time to begin dreaming of your next visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth. Unfortunately, the same timeline doesn't apply to the booking process. Currently, Walt Disney World
Vacation Packages and
Room Only Reservations can be booked for travel dates through the end of 2025, and we aren't quite sure when bookings for 2026 will become available. In years past, the following year's reservations were released in late Spring or early Summer, so hopefully, we won't have to wait much longer. With this in mind, I encourage you to keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog and Walt Disney World's
social media, so that you can be one of the first to know when the news is released!
I'm sure you'll want to secure your 2026 reservation as soon as they become available, so I want to remind you that discounts likely won't be offered for your booking at that time. If you're like me and always hoping to save a bit on the front end of your Walt Disney World vacations so that you can use the savings on
Lightning Lane passes, snacks, and souvenirs once you're in the middle of the magic, be sure to keep an eye on the
Special Offers page as your travel dates approach to see if any discounts or dining offers become available that can be
applied to your existing reservation.
While I was unable to provide you with an exact timeline, Emily, I hope that what I did share was helpful! If you're in need of further planning assistance once you've booked your vacation, feel free to stop back by
planDisney. We're always happy to help!
Thinking Happy Thoughts,
Lizzie
