Hi Alicia,
I am also anxiously awaiting the release of hotel availability for the end of 2025! When you are excited about booking a Disney World vacation, waiting seems like forever. I have been keeping a close eye on the
Disney Parks Blog because that is typically the first place to announce when vacation bookings open.
Disney World just announced
discount offers for the first half of 2025, so I suspect we will see the rest of the year open up for booking soon. In the past, these dates have opened up for booking in the fall or winter of the year prior so we are also closing in on that time frame. That being said, we do not have a date of when that will be so I can't promise you will be able to book your bounce-back offer while you are at Disney World.
On past visits, we have had up to 7 days after checking out to book our next stay at a discount, so that does give you a little more time to wait and see if your desired dates open up. Keep in mind this offer is not guaranteed and is always subject to availability. I prefer calling
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations after I get home and checking to see if there is an option available for me to book. This way I don't have to worry about it or deal with it while I am on vacation. They have always been super helpful at finding me the best deal and giving me advice on options if my requested dates are not available. Make sure you have your confirmation number and information for your most recent stay before you call so they can pull it up easily and make some magic for you!
Since you mentioned you are visiting during December of this year, don't forget to check out the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. It is one of the most epic events of the year, filled with holiday cheer from all over the world. The delicious food is a bonus! I never miss a chance to see one of the
celebrity narrators and get so excited when one of my favorite celebrities lines up with our vacation dates.
Happy Planning,
Jenna
