Hi there Brenda,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you so much for this question. It sounds like you are getting a head start on your planning for a trip early next year, which means you are in good company here at planDisney!
From what I've seen the past few years, the Disneyland Resort hotels typically open up their reservations for the following year around late summer or early fall.
If you're feeling like you're "too excited to sleep" and want to quickly check if the dates for next year have opened up, then I would suggest going to the
Disneyland Resort home page and checking the dates on the "Book Your Vacation" tool near the top of the page. The dates past December 31 of this year will be grayed out until next year's dates open up!
While you continue to plan, I'd also recommend keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for official news and information. You'll get a better sense of what's happening around the resort, and they often will post when the following year's dates open up for reservation.
In the meantime, you can start thinking through your itinerary, decide on
which hotel you want to stay at, and even decide if there are any specific
dining or
enchanting extras options that you'll want to be sure and reserve as you get closer to your trip.
Thanks again for your question, Brenda! Make sure to come back and see us if you think of any follow-ups. We'd love to help!
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
