Welcome to planDisney, Ellen!
A January trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth is a "practically perfect" way to kick-start the new year. Did you know that the
50th Anniversary Celebration will still be happening when you arrive? Just wait until you see
Cinderalla Castle in all her EARidescent majesty! If you purchase the new
MagicBand+, you'll be able to interact with the entire
Fab 50 Character Collection. You're in for an enchanting time!
If you're anything like me, you're probably already planning your trip. I like to know well in advance what days I'm going to be at each of the theme parks. I like to be at the parks when they're open super late so that I can maximize the magic. Ellen, theme park hours are typically released by Disney around 75 days in advance. Therefore, you'll probably want to check again around the beginning of November.
Don't let that stop you from making
theme park reservations earlier. You can always change your reservations at a later date once the park hours are released.
I hope that's helpful, Ellen! Thanks for stopping by planDisney.
ChEARS,
Mike
