Hello Bruce! Great to have you visit the Disney Parks Moms Panel! It is never too soon to start planning for a Walt Disney World Resort vacation! In our family, the sooner we book, the sooner we can start our countdown!
If you are planning a room-only reservation, then you can book up to 499-days in advance of your trip. You can only book this far in advance by calling (407)939-7639. However, as it sounds like you are planning a visit to Magic Kingdom Park you will have to wait a few more months to book your visit. Typically,
Walt Disney World Resort vacation packages including park tickets and/or the Disney Dining Plan become available in mid-to-late June. So for travel planned for October 2021, you should check back around June 2020. You can also consider booking your room-only reservation 499-days in advance and then call back to convert your reservation after packages are released in mid-June.
Next year will be an exciting one for the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando as plans are well-underway for the 50th anniversary celebration! So check the
Walt Disney World Resort website and the
Disney Parks Blog frequently in the coming months as plans are revealed.
