Hiya Jason! Thanks for visiting us at planDisney with your Disney World planning question today. How exciting that you're planning a return visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth! If your last visit was in 2019, oh boy... are you in for some amazing new experiences!
I love that you're planning ahead, and ready to lock in that 2026 vacation. There's nothing better than having a countdown to obsessively check, every day, in the
My Disney Experience app. (Ok, maybe that's just me...woo hoo!) We have started getting inquiries from other excited guests like yourself, who can't wait for the magical news of when the 2026 Disney packages will be available. Historically, these will be released any time from February to June. It could honestly be any time now!
You sound like a tech savvy guy, and I have to say as someone who works in IT... I really love your idea of getting Disney alerts! While there aren't any official Disney-sourced alerts to subscribe to at this time, the best source for hot-off-the-presses information is to watch the
Disney Parks Blog. Another place you will be able to discover once the 2026 dates are available is directly on the
Walt Disney World website, when checking the enabled calendar dates on the "Build Your Vacation" tool along the top of the page.
Just one thing I'm going to mention that needs to go squarely on your must-do list, of things that are likely new since you've last visited.
Guardians of the Galaxy is an incredible attraction that will blow. your. mind. It's an out of this world thrill unlike anything else you've ever experienced!
You've got this, Jason! I can tell the planning Force is Strong With You, and I'm certain there will be lots of excellent availability open when you go to reserve your practically perfect vacation for next year. And as you continue your planning of other details, please visit us again with any additional questions or even if you'd just like recommendations or tips. We love to help sprinkle pixie-dust!
The magic is calling,
Tami
