Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Patricia!
Welcome to planDisney! We are THRILLED you stopped by and are honored to help you plan your upcoming trip to
Disney World! You’re about to dive into a world where castles sparkle, parades dazzle, and every hour feels like a celebration. You’ll make memories, laugh until your cheeks hurt, and soak in moments you’ll be talking about for years. Just know Mickey can't wait to "See You Real Soon!"
What a great question! Disney usually releases their theme park hours about 60 to 75 days ahead of time, though sometimes Mickey surprises us and posts them a little earlier. Based on Disney’s usual pattern, you can probably expect the January 2026 hours to appear in November. Once they’re up, you’ll find them on the
official Disney calendar or in the
My Disney Experience app, making planning much easier. Just keep in mind that those hours aren’t always set in stone. Disney often adjusts them as the dates get closer, especially if crowds are heavier than expected. However, in January, you’ll often see slightly shorter hours since it’s a calmer season. That means you can often enjoy lower wait times for big attractions and have more space to soak in the atmosphere. The weather is much cooler, with no sweltering Florida heat, so walking around the parks all day feels a lot more comfortable.
So while we all wish we could peek ahead right now, you’ll just need to wait a little longer before those schedules pop up. In the meantime, it gives you extra time to dream, plan, and picture yourself stepping into those parks bright and early. And let’s be honest—half the fun is in the countdown to all that Disney delight!
As you continue to plan, be sure to check out the
Disney Parks Blog for the most up-to-date information on all things Disney. Mickey and his pals have some incredible surprises planned, and we don't want you to miss any of the fun!
If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. We are here to help in any way we can!!
Have a MAGICAL day!
