Hey there, hi there, ho there! You're as welcome as can be at planDisney!
You sound like a planner after my own heart. It's so easy to book a Disney World vacation package (which includes a Disney resort and theme park tickets) for that relatively small, refundable deposit. Sometimes I end up booking something "just in case" as a placeholder... I feel like I sleep better at night knowing I have a magical countdown!
As of today, you can book a Disney World vacation for dates through the end of this year. We are anxiously awaiting the release of 2026 vacation packages! Those could be made available any time between now and this summer, which has varied in the past.
Your two best bets for know when next year's reservations become available are:
- Watch the Disney Parks blog for an announcement that 2026 packages have been released.
- Check the Build Your Vacation search tool on the Disney World website periodically. Once the calendar enables 2026 dates, you'll know they've made them available to book.
I hope this helps. Sending pixie dust to you for your happy vacation planning, and please visit us at planDisney if we can assist with any other recommendations or tips.
Have a magical day!
