Hi Dana,
Welcome to planDisney!
I can imagine the excitement in your household as you plan a trip to the Walt Disney World Resort! At this time, the online reservation system is accurate - guests can book a vacation through December 2021. If you started your vacation on December 31, 2021, you could actually book through January 30, 2022, but we cannot yet book beyond that into 2022. I did call to confirm with a Cast Member. The Cast Member with whom I spoke was not able to book beyond that date at this time.
These are busy times, however. I suggest that you keep an eye on the website, especially the
Special Offers and
Resort Hotel Updates as booking availability could change and additional discounts could be released. Like you, we often go ahead and book our preferred resort to make sure we can reserve the room type we need. And if a new Special Offer is released later, I call to speak with a Cast Member to see if that offer can be applied to our existing reservation.
While we are waiting to book, I always price out our reservation using the current year's dates so that I can get an idea of how much it might cost. I then have a point of comparison when prices and Special Offers are released for the actual dates of our visit. Even if prices are a little more expensive for our actual dates, doing that initial price check helps me to save accordingly.
Dana, it sounds like you may already know which resort you intend to book. If not, be sure to check out a few different ones when you price
vacation packages for this year's dates that are similar to what yours will be in 2022. Keep your eye on the
Disney Parks Blog as well. We look forward to welcoming you back to a
world of magic real soon!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
