    How long in advance can I make a hotel reservation?

    Hi Sylvia,

    Welcome back to planDisney, and thanks for turning to us with your Walt Disney World planning questions through the years. I think I helped you several years ago, and I'll do my best to be of assistance again.

    Walt Disney World currently is accepting resort reservations through the end of 2026. You can start dreaming of your 2027 vacation now, and it shouldn't be long before you can put those dreams into action.

    We haven't heard anything official, but, based on past patterns, I would expect reservations for 2027 to open any day now. In 2025, for example, reservations for 2026 became available on April 22. I would keep an eye on the Walt Disney World website and the Disney Parks Blog, which usually is first with the news.

    While you're on the blog, check out the posts on all the exciting new and updated attractions coming in 2026, including the reimagined Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, and, coming soon, Bluey and Bingo's arrival at Conservation Station, a Muppet takeover of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, and so much more!

    Thanks again for being a fan of planDisney, Sylvia, and come back any time with your questions about Walt Disney World. We will be here to assist.

    Happy planning,

    Wilma
