Hello there, Mary, and welcome back to planDisney!
Because the 2027 Disney Vacation Packages and Resort hotel room-only reservations aren't open yet (as of today, March 16), I can totally understand that you're ready to get the vacation booking party started sooner than later. Like Princess Tiana sings, we're "almost there!" I really do believe that we're "gettin' closer and closer every day."
I'm no Dr. Facilier from
the Princess and the Frog, so I can't look into the future. However, let's take a look at when bookings for the next year were released in the past. Most of the 2026
Disney Vacation Packages and hotel bookings were released in April 2025. However, 2025's bookings were opened to the public in late February 2024. So, based on the trends, we are definitely in that zone of 2027 dates being released soon. Of course, anything could happen but we can wish on the evening star.
I like to call the
Disney Parks Blog and the Disney World
Special Offers webpage my "friends on the other side." DPB is the official news source for Disney Destinations announcements and ongoings. And the Special Offers webpage is my go-to place for seeing the latest deals and discounts for onsite hotel stays and theme park tickets. I highly recommend bookmarking both of these websites so that you're among the first to get the news.
Mary, I wish that I could give you a clearer answer, but we will all find out in due time. For now, we can go with the flow, like the gentle currents of a bayou. Do things like download the
My Disney Experience app,
watch planDisney videos, and start a list of your top hotels and must-do attractions. If you have any additional vacation planning questions, give us a holler
here at planDisney. Now, where can I find some fresh
beignets...?
Magic always,
LeAndra
