Hey there, Juliet! Welcome to planDisney!
Thanks for sharing your question with us. There are a few types of reservations you could be making for your upcoming Walt Disney World visit. So let’s take a look at the different options!
If you’re thinking about
dining reservations,
Enchanting Extras, or booking a hotel stay, then you do not need to have theme park tickets at the time you make your reservation. Remember, you will need valid park tickets if any of your reservations are located inside one of Walt Disney World’s theme parks or water parks. And a second reminder, you can make dining and Enchanting Extras reservations 60 days before your arrival, which would be January 9, 2026, based on the dates you’ve provided.
If you’re talking about theme park reservations, which are required for certain types of tickets, then you do need to have an eligible ticket or annual pass to make a reservation. You can find more information on which tickets require theme park reservations
here.
Any time of year is a great time to visit Walt Disney World. Each season has its own special offerings, and your spring visit will be no different.
The EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival is usually underway by early March (official dates haven’t been released yet), which is a great way to celebrate springtime. Keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog as your trip draws nearer for updates and news about the festival and other spring offerings.
I hope this information is helpful, Juliet. Come right back to planDisney if you have any other vacation planning questions. We’re always happy to help!
Magical travels!
Matt
