Welcome to planDisney, Jaclyn. How exciting that you're planning a 2023 trip to
The Most Magical Place on Earth. Since every adventure requires a first step, you did the right thing in coming to us. I'm glad that you're hoping to stay at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel. It's such an immersive experience staying on property. Plus, the convenient (and complimentary) transportation, the extra time in the Parks and the ability to make Advance Dining Reservations all help to make your joy soar to infinity and beyond.
If you're hoping to reserve rooms for February 2023, then you should be able to make room-only reservations
over the phone. This is something you can usually do up to 500 days in advance. However, if you're hoping to book an entire vacation package, then those are typically released in the summer of the previous year. Therefore, as the summer of 2022 approaches, you might want to keep checking the
Walt Disney World website. The
Disney Park's Blog website is also a good place to stay updated on the latest information.
I've actually recently returned from
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. The majestic lobby, the fascinating theming, the African wildlife, the amazing restaurants and the luxurious comfort all combine to make it my favorite hotel. Make sure you get some "scran" (that's what my fellow Liverpudlians call "food") at
Boma - Flavors of Africa. Also, you have to try the famous bread service at
Sanaa! Just typing those last two sentences has made me hungry!
Happy planning, Jaclyn. As we say in Liverpool, you're in for a "belter" of a time!
ChEARS,
Mike
