Hello Ellen,
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thank you for asking us another excellent question.
I’m so happy to hear that you had a wonderful stay at
Disney’s Port Orleans Resort - Riverside during your vacation last May! I usually find that the best way to deal with Walt Disney World Resort withdrawal is to plan another visit, so I can definitely understand your desire to plan your next vacation as soon as possible.
I unfortunately don’t know the exact date that you’ll be able to make your reservation for your next visit. That being said, in previous years, rates and reservations for the following year have typically popped up anywhere from late June to early August. I would keep checking back often in order to see whether 2016 dates have been released. Another great site for up-to-the-minute information is the Disney Parks Blog, or, my favourite unofficial Walt Disney World information website, AllEars.Net.
Have fun planning your trip and please don’t hesitate to come back and see us if you have any other questions!
Have a Magical Day,
Lynne
