Hello there Karen, and welcome back to planDisney! How exciting that you're planning the practically perfect Disney World vacation for next year. I was born in Minnesota and know that the winters are for real. It will be so wonderful once those blustery November days hit... to be heading to the land of palm trees and magical castles!
Hakuna Matata, Karen. Because you are going to see those Disney Resort packages for November of next year open up literally any day now! Disney typically releases reservation dates in waves. Although there are no guarantees, we can look at historical release dates to get a good idea of what to expect. Last year in October, the Disney Resort reservations opened up for November of the following year. So again... any day now. Woo hooo!
The best place to keep your eye out is the
Build Your Vacation search tool at the top of the Walt Disney World website. Under "Dates - Check In" use that calendar tool to scroll through and check if the November 2026 dates are enabled. The
Disney Parks Blog will also likely make an announcement. Watching that website is both informative and exciting, as it can give you all kinds of tips and ideas of things you'll want to include on your vacation!
I hope you enjoy every moment of your Disney planning adventure, Karen. And of course, that magical trip to Walt Disney World! I'm sending pixie-dust your way to get that countdown officially kicked off soon. Feel free to send me a
message at planDisney if I can answer any other questions, or offer some dining or attraction recommendations for your stay.
Magical Memories Await,
Tami
