Hi Sophie! Welcome to
planDisney, and thank you so much for reaching out with your question. How exciting that you're already planning a Christmas trip for this year! That week between Christmas and New Year's is one of the most magical (and popular!) times to visit, so you're absolutely right to be keeping a close eye on booking windows.
I actually went ahead and checked the
UK version of the Walt Disney World website myself, and I'm happy to report that December 26, 2026 is currently available to book. The site can be a little stubborn at times, especially during high-demand holiday periods, so I'd definitely encourage you to try again and play around with the date selector a bit.
If after double-checking you're still running into issues, whether the dates aren't loading properly or the system simply won't let you complete the booking, that's a good moment to bring in some human help.
Calling the Walt Disney World help center is a great option, as a Cast Member can look directly at availability for your exact dates and walk you through the booking process step by step. Another excellent alternative is working with a local Travel Agent who specializes in Disney vacations, since they often have tools that make navigating the UK booking system much smoother.
Sophie, you're absolutely within the right timeframe to be planning this trip, and there's no need to wait any longer to secure those dates. Holiday travel at Walt Disney World fills up quickly, so once you're able to move forward, I'd recommend doing so sooner rather than later. I hope this clears things up and gets you one step closer to a very magical Christmas vacation.
Warm hugs,
Ana Paula
