Welcome to planDisney, Jennifer! Thanks so much for coming to us with your question today.
It sounds like we've got a lot in common because I'm always looking to put my next Disney trip on the calendar. Planning in advance is a great idea, especially when you want to line up your stay at Walt Disney World with a
Disney Cruise Line vacation, but you'll have to wait just a little bit longer to make your reservations because bookings for the
Disney Resorts Collection hotels aren't quite open for 2026 just yet. In the past, reservations have opened up in the late spring and early summer, but last year I was pleasantly surprised when reservations through October 2025 opened up in February of 2024. We don't yet know when next year's reservations are going to open up, but I recommend keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog so you'll be among the first to know when you can book
Wilderness Lodge for 2026.
Did you know that we have some
talented planDisney Panelists who also answer questions about Disney Cruise Line? If you have questions about planning your land and sea trip, please come back and see us so we can help you plan your magical vacation.
See ya real soon, Jennifer!
