Hiya Joe!
Welcome to planDisney, we appreciate you sending in your question. Oh, boy... I like your style! There's nothing better than having a Disney countdown in the works. It gives you lots of time to daydream and plan out those practically perfect details you want to be sure to include. Well done, you!
Walt Disney World has not yet released available reservation dates for 2026. However, it could be any time now! Historically, the next year's packages were released any time from mid-Spring to Summer. For a few years they were released in late May and early June... then last year they were released in late February! Your bibbidi-bobbidi-best bet is to keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for an announcement.
Or if you're like me, and spent way too much time browsing the Disney World website, you'll also be able to tell as soon as those 2026 calendar dates are enabled on the
Build Your Vacation search tool at the top. Woo hoo!
Once you pick your magical dates and choice of Disney Resort, you can make that reservation and lock in your top selection. As a money-saving tip, once 2026 rolls around I would occasionally swing by and check out the
Special Offer & Deals page. If a special offer comes up that works for your plans, you can easily switch your reservation to the deal and save some money!
Joe, I'm sorry I didn't have an exact answer for you, but I hope this helped. We love to sprinkle pixie-dust and offer tips, ideas, and recommendations on where to eat, stay, and play at Walt Disney World... so please
visit me again at planDisney any time.
Happy vacation planning!
Tami
