Hi there, Mike!
Thank you for visiting planDisney to start planning your 2026 Walt Disney World vacation! Like you, I love to plan my trips as far in advance as possible to make sure every detail is just right.
Vacation Packages, which include your resort stay and theme park tickets, typically become available in late spring or early summer of 2025. Once these become available, you can make your reservation on the Walt Disney World website.
Room-Only Reservations can be booked approximately 499 days before your desired check-in date.
To book a room-only reservation that far in advance, call and speak with a Cast Member. Once vacation packages are released, you can modify your reservation to add
theme park tickets and other experiences, including the optional
Disney Dining Plan.
In the meantime, explore resort options! Each Disney Resort hotel offers unique theming, dining, and transportation options. If you have a dream resort in mind, booking early gives you the best chance of securing your top choice!
Disney often releases discounts and promotions throughout the year. If a deal becomes available after you’ve booked, you may be able to apply it to your reservation. These are subject to availability and are applied by calling and speaking with a Cast Member.
Keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog and here at planDisney for official announcements on when 2026 bookings will open.
If you have any other planning questions, feel free to ask. I’m happy to help make your Disney adventure as magical as possible!
Toodles,
Korliss
