Hi Wendi! Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney!
Holiday time at
Walt Disney World Resort is so special. My family tends to visit in the spring but I had the opportunity to see the Resort dressed in its holiday best last year and I have to say I'm itching to book another December vacation! I love seeing how each Resort's decorations match its theming, the beautiful
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays - Candlelight Processional and the
Holiday Sleigh Rides that are usually available during the month of December.
I love hearing that you're making plans for an upcoming trip at the end of next year. Doesn't having a Disney trip on the horizon always make the future look a little brighter? There's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow, right?! You're correct that you're not seeing availability for
Disney Resorts Collection hotel rooms for the later part of 2023 because some of those dates are not available to book yet. Guests looking to book Resort reservations are able to book as far as 499 days in advance of their trip. As of today, that means you should be able to book through December 1, 2023. If you're looking for dates after that you still won't have long to wait before you set some of your magical plans in stone! Also, remember that if you're ever having trouble booking your Resort reservation online you can always call and speak with a friendly Cast Member at the Resort Hotel Reservations line (407) 939-1936.
If you've never experienced
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party during a holiday adventure to The Most Magical Place on Earth you might think of looking into it for next year! With special events like
Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade and
Minnie's Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show, cocoa, cookies, and character hugs, you're going to be glad to be at the Resort enjoying this pixie-dusted season.
Happy planning, Wendi!
