Hiya, Amy!
Thank you for stopping by planDisney with your reservation question! I’m so excited that you’re looking to book a trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth—what an adventure awaits! There’s nothing like strolling down Main Street USA, at
Magic Kingdom, listening to the
Dapper Dans sing. Or sitting on a bench on Hollywood Blvd, in
Hollywood Studios, with a coffee in hand, soaking in the excitement as guests make their way to the
Tower of Terror. January also happens to be one of my favorite times to visit! The weather is just right—cool enough to wander the parks comfortably but still warm enough to enjoy all the outdoor magic.
Now, let’s get down to business (to defeat…the reservation dates). I reached out to a friendly Cast Member, and currently, hotel reservations for January 2026 are not yet available. Based on previous years, these dates typically open in late spring or early summer, so I recommend keeping an eye on the
Walt Disney World website and
My Disney Experience app for updates. You can also contact a friendly cast member at the
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations when it is time to book.
In the meantime, this is the perfect time to start thinking about where you’d like to stay! Each Disney Resort hotel has its own unique magic, from themed pools to stunning views. My family’s absolute favorite is
Animal Kingdom Lodge—my girls love waking up in a Savanna View room, spotting giraffes and zebras as they enjoy breakfast. It’s like having a safari right outside your window!
Amy, if you have any other additional questions, please feel free to stop by! I hope you have a magical trip.
See you real soon,
Christina
