    When will hotel reservations open for January 2026 bookings at any of the Disneyland Hotels?

    Hello, Sara,

    I'm right there with you. I agree that it's never too early to start thinking about a Disneyland Resort vacation.

    Currently, bookings for a stay at one of the three Disneyland Resort Hotels or a Disneyland Resort Vacation Package may have a check-in requested for available dates up through December 31, 2025. Reservations for the next calendar year are generally made available some time during the summer months of the current year. I don't know for sure what's "just around the river bend." But as you keep checking back, I hope you will find reservations can be booked any day now.

    Do you want to know a special Disney vacation booking secret? Disney Vacation Club members may be able to book their Disney vacations for early 2026 already. If you happen to be a member with your home resort at either The Villas at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa or The Villas at Disneyland Hotel, you may begin booking at your respective home resort as many as 11 months in advance. My family and I are members at The Villas at Disneyland Hotel. A few months ago, we already booked our upcoming visit for the February 2026 Lunar New Year celebration. We can't wait!

    Disney Vacation Club members with their home resorts at other locations, such as Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa in Ko Olina, Hawai'i, may book stays for available dates at the Disneyland Resort villas as early as seven months in advance. If you aren't currently a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) member, you may have an opportunity to check it out when you visit next year. When those 2026 Disneyland Resort Hotel reservations become available soon, consider looking for openings in the villas, especially at the new Discovery tower at the Disneyland Hotel. The villas are stunning. Whether they are DVC members or not, Guests staying at the villas have access to all the amazing amenities and benefits available to Guests staying in the non-villa hotel rooms.

    I'm sorry we have to wait a little while longer before we can book regular stays at the Disneyland Resort, Sara. It's tough when we just can't wait to move forward with our vacation planning. In the meantime, here's information about Disneyland Resort's 70th Anniversary Celebration. It's scheduled to continue through Summer 2026. So if you're planning to visit by then, you'll have the chance to experience it for yourself. Don't please don't hesitate to visit us at planDisney again. We're happy to help plan your visit to The Happiest Place on Earth in any way we can.

    Have fun, Sara!
