Hi there, Susan! Thank you for bringing this great question to planDisney. We're happy you're here!
It sounds like you're as excited as I am about reservations for 2024 vacation packages and Disney Resort hotel stays opening up, starting today! Not only that, but there's also the highly-anticipated
return of Disney Dining Plans available for next year, as well. There's nothing quite like the excitement and planning for a magical vacation at
Walt Disney World Resort, and the website surely reflects that this morning!
If you're like me, you might be sitting "in orbit" and waiting in a virtual queue to access the Walt Disney World Resort website at the moment! At the time of this writing, it appears as though bookings online and over the phone have been temporarily paused. In my personal opinion, this means that the wonderful Cast Members (who feel like real-life fairy godparents!) need a little time to refill their pixie dust before bookings can resume. But Hakuna Matata! No worries! My best tip is to stay in this virtual queue online without restarting or refreshing the page. When bookings open again, they'll be available to those Guests in line first, so you'll want to stay put! Once the page loads and you're able to enter the site, you'll be free to book your trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth for February of next year.
While you wait, I'd recommend taking a little time to check out the
Disney Parks Blog! This is a great resource to stay up-to-date on all the offerings you can expect at Walt Disney World Resort. You can also tune in to the
planDisney Podcast, where panelists (who are Guests, just like you!) share their best tips, tricks, and memories while visiting Disney destinations. And of course, if you have any other questions, please write to us again. After all, you've got a friend in me!
Faith, trust, and pixie dust -
Michelle
