Hi Michelle,
Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney! I could spend all day planning my next Disneyland vacation, so I'm looking forward to the 2026 trips too.
You're in luck,
2026 dates and
packages are now available! You can make a room reservation for stays through January 8, 2027 (subject to availability). If you're interested in a hotel package, you can call the
Walt Disney Travel Company at (714) 956-6425. They’re available daily from 7 AM to 9 PM, and a Cast Member will be happy to assist you.
As you plan your 2026 vacation, I recommend checking out the
2025 Calendar of Events. It’s a great guide if you’re hoping to visit during a specific season or festival. For example, if you're a big foodie, you may want to time your visit with the
Food and Wine Festival. While we don’t know the exact 2026 dates yet, the 2025 calendar can give you a helpful ballpark. Also, the full
70th Anniversary celebration should return after the holiday season. You’ll be able to experience the festivities at Disneyland Park, then hop over to California Adventure to enjoy one of the seasonal festivals.
Michelle, did you hear the news? The
Early Entry perk will be sunsetting in 2026. Starting January 5, 2026, guests staying at a Disneyland Resort hotel can instead take advantage of one Lightning Lane entry to a Lightning Lane Multi Pass attraction during their Resort stay. Guests will still need a valid theme park ticket and a park reservation to use this new perk.
I hope this information was helpful, Michelle! If you have more questions or would like tips for your next trip, feel free to reach out to me or any of my fellow planDisney panelists. We're always here to add a little extra pixie dust to your planning.
Happy Planning!
