Hey Howdy Hey Hal and welcome to planDisney fellow Buckeye!
If one thing is for sure, here at planDisney we love a well-thought-out plan when visiting the Walt Disney World Resort. I love that you are in the process of planning your visit for the end of 2025 well in advance. You are correct that as of this moment, you are limited to your arrival date being no later than October 31, 2025. Let's review a few timeframes to be aware of so that when these dates do open up, you will be more than ready for them.
While I cannot give you a specific date on when availability will open for the rest of 2025, I can give you general timeframes. In the past, Disney has always tried to give Guests a full calendar year if not more to book their Magical vacations. I would anticipate Disney opening up the last few months of 2025 later this fall or early winter. Keep an eye on Disney Parks on social media for more details or keep checking back over the next few months as this timeframe may open soon.
Hal, I'm sure you already know all of the Magical
benefits you get when staying onsite with Disney Resorts Collection but here is your friendly reminder of all the extras. Not only will you have complimentary Resort Transportation to take you virtually anywhere on the property, but you will also be able to spend extra time in the parks with
Early Theme Park Entry and
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours. Also, new to 2025 Guests will receive
complimentary access to any of the water parks on the day of check-in. This can be a great way to settle in with a relaxing trip to the water parks to get your Magical vacation started off right.
My fingers are crossed that we hear more about availability for 2025 soon. In the meantime, if you have any further questions, let us know, we are always happy to help!
To Infinity and Beyond,
Nick
