Hi Ed! Welcome to planDisney! It sounds like you are just beginning to plan for a visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth. You’ve come to the right place! We are here to help make that process easier for you and give you our own special insider tips!
Reservations for Walt Disney World Resort hotels and packages are currently available for booking online through December 31, 2026. While we don’t yet know an exact date when 2027 bookings will become available, that announcement should be coming very soon.
Last year, reservations opened in late April for most of 2026, so I would anticipate another spring announcement this year. Be sure to check the
Disney Parks Blog, as this is where those details will be shared first. When the announcement is released, bookings through the fall of 2027 are likely to open within a day or two. The announcement should also include information about special offers, which is always exciting to see!
It looks like you might be considering a trip in 2028, so we’re about a year out from when those reservations should become available. In the meantime you could start dreaming up your perfect vacation by thinking about which Disney Resorts Collection hotels might be a great fit for you when the time comes. There is something for everyone and at many different price points to help you decide what works for your vacation budget. Some of my favorites are Disney’s Art of Animation Resort and Disney’s Pop Century Resort in the Value resorts, Disney’s Port Orleans Resort - Riverside and Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort in the Moderate resorts, and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort in the Deluxe Resorts. You truly can’t go wrong with any Disney resort hotel though since they all have their own special theming, charm, and benefits!
Ed, when you start planning your vacation, be sure to come back and see us at
planDisney. We are always happy to help with anything from resort hotels to dining to theme park attractions, and everything in between. We would be thrilled to help add extra magic to your Disney vacation planning!
