    My family and I have a tripped planned for June 2026 for my son’s 3rd birthday. We are staying at Art of Animation and have 3 day park hopper tickets. When are special offers typically released for the following year so I can apply those to our trip?

    Welcome to planDisney, Lacey! I'm so glad to be able to answer your question today. What a magical reason to celebrate at Walt Disney World! A 3rd birthday trip sounds absolutely unforgettable, and I bet your little Mouseketeer is going to love everything from the colorful rooms at Disney's Art of Animation Resort to the exciting park adventures you've got planned.

    When it comes to special offers, Disney tends to release promotions for the upcoming summer early in the year, so for a June 2026 visit, you'll want to keep an eye out for announcements sometime in January or February. That's typically when room discounts or package deals are released for summer travel dates. These offers are always subject to availability and can vary from year to year, but if something becomes available for your dates, you can call Disney Resort Hotel Reservations or apply offers to your eligible reservation in My Disney Experience; no need to start over from scratch!

    In the meantime, you're doing all the right things by getting your plans in place early. Staying at Art of Animation puts you right in the middle of the magic with fun theming and convenient access to the Disney Skyliner, which makes park hopping extra fun and easy.

    My tip? Bookmark the Special Offers page on the Walt Disney World website and check it with relative frequency when the new year rolls around. You can also sign up for emails from Disney Destinations to get notified as soon as any new deals are released.

    I hope this answers your question, Lacey, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation!
