    I am coming to Disney 11/9-11/15/2026 is it too early to pay for the $200 deposit or it is smart to pay now?

    Howdy, Stephanie! Thanks for visiting planDisney. It's great to hear from a fellow planner who likes to get a head start!

    At the moment, reservations for November 2026 aren’t open just yet. Disney typically releases vacation packages about 12 to 16 months in advance, so you’ll want to keep an eye out in the fall or early winter of 2025. That’s when dates for the end of 2026 should become available.

    Until then, there’s no need for your deposit just yet, until bookings officially open for the rest of 2026. In the meantime, it’s a great opportunity to start thinking through where you might want to stay, how long you'd like your trip to be, and what holiday experiences you might want to include.

    Christmas at Disney is my favorite! So consider a night at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party!

    Feel free to reach out anytime as you plan. I’d be happy to help you narrow down resort options or create a rough outline for your dream trip!

    Toodles,

My love for all things Disney began at the age of three, thanks to my parents. Today, that passion is shared with my own Prince, Princess, husband, and extended family, all of whom adore the magic of Walt Disney World just as much as I do. I’m thrilled to share that passion with you and help make your next Disney vacation truly unforgettable! Learn More About Korliss
