Greetings, Paige, and welcome to planDisney! It's great that you are planning ahead, and we're here to help! Let's talk about timing for a 2026 vacation.
Your question came at a perfect time, Paige.
Disneyland Resort hotel reservations and vacation packages through December 2026 are now available! If you're looking specifically for theme park tickets, those are typically available as far as six months out, unless you get them as part of a
Disneyland Resort Hotel Vacation Package.
All three
Disneyland Resort hotels offer unique theming, comfortable amenities, fabulous pool areas, on-site dining options, and a close proximity to the parks. The
Disneyland Hotel pools are my favorite for water fun. There are mini water slides for small children, two larger Monorail-themed water slides, a Steamboat Willie splash pad, three separate pools, and a few whirlpool spas. There are
activities exclusively for hotel Guests, too, such as complimentary movie nights and hotel tours. The hotel you choose will depend on your priorities. I've stayed at each of them over the years, and, honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them!
Plus, when you book your hotel stay with theme park tickets, you might even enjoy a little extra pixie dust, like discounts at select
Downtown Disney District spots and a collectible pin and lanyard (subject to availability).
As your trip gets nearer, check the
Disney Parks Blog to see what exciting things will await you, from entertainment to merchandise to food! Some of the recent articles highlight
Halloween-themed fun for 2025.
Paige, if you think of any other questions as you continue planning, please reach out. We're always happy to help here at planDisney!
Your pal,
Kriss
