Hi there, Julie! Thank you for contacting planDisney. We are always happy to help!
You seem to be a planner, just like me. I'm always booking my vacations to the
Walt Disney World Resort as soon as I know when I'm going and the
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel at which I will be staying. It's always a good idea to plan ahead!
I see that you are planning on visiting next February. I visited this past February and let me tell you, it was such a great time to visit. The weather was cooler when compared to other times of the year and the
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts was taking place at the time of my visit. This year, the festival was offered from January 13, 2023, to February 20, 2023. I absolutely loved this festival with all the beautiful art displays, the
Disney on Broadway Concert Series, and all of the delicious offerings at the Food Studios around
EPCOT. Be sure to follow the
Disney Parks Blog for any announcements about next year's festival.
At this time, reservations for the Walt Disney World Resort can only be booked through December 2023. Dates for 2024 have not yet been released but will likely be released in the spring. Just make sure you are keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog so that you can pounce when the time comes!
But just because you can't book your vacation right now, that doesn't mean you can't plan! Make a list of all of the
advanced dining reservations you are going to make. You'll probably want to check out the brand-new
Roundup Rodeo BBQ restaurant in
Toy Story Land at
Disney's Hollywood Studios. Also, what new-to-you attractions are you excited to experience? I personally can't wait to experience
TRON / Lightcycle Run in
Magic Kingdom Park (opening this April) and
Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana in EPCOT (which is currently estimated to open in late 2023). There is so much to look forward to!
Julie, I hope you have a wonderful visit to the resort. Please
reach out again in the future if you have any further questions.
It's kind of fun to do the impossible,
Matt
