Hiya, Kristen, and a warm welcome back to
planDisney!
First off, I’m so excited to hEAR that you’re bringing your family to the Disneyland Resort for the very first time in 2023! You’re going to love visiting the
Happiest Place on Earth, where it all began! There are many similarities, yet also so many differences that you'll enjoy exploring.
Currently,
Vacation Packages and
Disneyland Resort Hotel reservations are available through December of 2022. In past years, Vacation Packages and hotel reservations opened for the following year by the end of summer, typically sometime in August. I recently checked with a Cast Member, and she told me to expect next year’s rates to be available by mid-September. So, it's safe to say we should see 2023 reservations made available any time between now and mid-September. I recommend continuing to check
Disneyland.com, or keeping your eyes on the
Disney Parks Blog for the latest updates. Or, feel free to stop by planDisney again and we’d be happy to keep you informed, too!
One exciting thing we do know about is that
early entry is back! Just last week, the Disneyland Resort welcomed back early entry, allowing Disneyland Resort Hotel Guests to enter the theme parks 30 minutes early to enjoy select attractions, dining and shopping locations! So, by the time you arrive in April, you’ll be able to take advantage of
this awesome perk for staying on-property.
As for
theme park tickets and
reservations, keep in mind that reservations can be made up to 120 days in advance, subject to availability. So, this would put you at about December 23, 2022, based on your arrival day. In addition, you can start
booking dining reservations up to 60 days in advance, which would put you around February 21, 2023. I recommend setting reminders in your calendar for all of these important dates, so you don’t forget.
We’d love to help you plan the rest of your trip as it gets closer, Kristen, so please head back to planDisney with any additional questions… we’re all EARs!
Happy planning,
Kristin
