Hi Taiyeon! Welcome to planDisney! Like you, I love to start planning for my
Disneyland Resort visits as early as possible. And believe it or not, 2026 will be here before you know it!
I spoke with Troy, a helpful Cast Member, who shared that 2026 rates and availability are typically released around August. However, a specific date has not been set yet, and these timelines are always subject to change. My best recommendation is to keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog, as it will have the latest updates on 2026
vacation packages along with other exciting announcements about the Disney parks!
Another important planning detail to keep in mind is purchasing your Disneyland Resort theme park tickets. Tickets are usually available up to 180 days in advance, although this is also subject to change. You can check current ticket availability by visiting the
Theme Park Tickets page on the Disneyland website. Since you're planning to visit on February 14, 2026, a great time to start researching your park tickets would be August 18, 2025.
While your trip is still on the horizon, one of the highlights of your stay will be experiencing the
Grand Californian Hotel & Spa! This beautiful resort is not just a place to stay. It’s an experience in itself. I highly recommend taking some time to soak in the lobby’s stunning Arts and Crafts-inspired décor, which pays homage to the early 20th-century movement. The grand fireplace creates the perfect cozy atmosphere, and the live piano music that often fills the space makes it an especially magical place to relax. If you’re looking for a delicious bite to eat, stop by
GCH Craftsman Grill. It’s a hidden gem! One of my favorite recommendations is to check out their “hot dog of the month” for a unique and tasty offering.
Taiyeon, I hope this information helps as you begin planning your Disneyland adventure! If you have any other questions or would like more planning tips, please don’t hesitate to visit us again here at planDisney.
Have a magical trip!
