Hi, Kylie!
Welcome to
planDisney, and thanks for asking us a question. I’m glad to hear you want to plan a visit to the Happiest Place on Earth this coming year. I hope you’re looking forward to all the magic that awaits you at the
Disneyland Resort!
At this time, standard
theme park tickets can be purchased online up to 180 days in advance, and you will make your
theme park reservations during that transaction. For a
Disneyland Resort Vacation Package purchased through the Walt Disney Travel Company that includes a
hotel stay plus theme park tickets, bookings are currently available for check-in dates only through the end of 2024. Dates for travel in 2025 are expected to be released soon, but an announcement about the exact date they will be available has not yet been made. If you just plan to purchase theme park tickets and not a complete vacation package, you should be able to secure your dates now for an early January trip!
The choice is yours, but keep in mind that when you buy a vacation package, you’re able to make payments after an initial deposit and pay off your trip in installments which can be a helpful budgeting tool. Packages also currently include a Magical Extras Savings Card that offers discounts at select dining and merchandise locations in the
Downtown Disney District.
I hope this answers your question, Kylie, and please feel free to
write back for more information and tips as you continue planning your perfectly pixie-dusted vacation!
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
