Hiya, Alden! Welcome to planDisney!
I love that you’re planning your Walt Disney World adventure for next year. I always say, it’s never too early to plan your next vacation. Or your next next vacation. Or your next next next vacation…
If you aren’t seeing any results for your hotel search, it might not be the dates you’re searching, but rather the size of your party.
Deluxe villa rooms and all Walt Disney World Resort hotel rooms have capacity limits, and the search results will only show options that can fit your whole travel party. Since you’re trying to book for a larger party, I’d suggest
calling the Tickets and Hotel Reservations line to talk with a helpful Cast Member. They’ll be able to help you find a combination of rooms that fit your needs (hotel rooms are subject to availability).
As you continue to plan your awesome 2027 vacation, make sure you're thinking about dining ahead of time. I’d consider 8 people a larger group, and you might find it a little more difficult to find dining reservations for your entire party. Luckily, some Walt Disney World restaurants are perfect for larger groups, like Whispering Canyon at Wilderness Lodge, Biergarten at EPCOT, and Liberty Tree Tavern at the Magic Kingdom. If you’d like to treat your group to dinner and a show, then be sure to check out
Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue at Fort Wilderness.
Alden, I hope you’re able to find a hotel option that works for your group, and I hope you have a wonderful vacation at Walt Disney World. Pop right back if you have more questions. Your planDisney pals are happy to help!
Magical travels!
Matt
