    We are planning to go to WDW in January 2027. Does anyone have any idea when those dates will be released so we can get booked in?

    Hiya Aimee,

    Welcome to planDisney! If you ask me, it is never too early to start planning a magical vacation to Walt Disney World Resort. Whether it is your very first trip or you are a frequent visitor, there is always something new and exciting that you won't want to miss.

    You are definitely ahead of the game, Aimee, on booking 2027 vacations currently (but that's my style as well). We typically see those Vacation Packages released in the summer of the preceding year (so summer 2026 for 2027), so you have a little bit of waiting still ahead of you. That said, summer will be here before you know it (we are only 107 days from the start of the New Year after all), so there are some things you can start thinking about. Once reservations open up, they are popular, so I always suggest thinking about where you want to stay. Come up with a list of your top choices of resort hotels and have an idea of where you want to stay. If you plan to spend a lot of time at Magic Kingdom, focus your attention on Magic Kingdom area resorts like the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa or Wilderness Lodge. More interested in riding the Skyliner than Caribbean Beach Resort or Pop Century make the list.

    Aimee also check out Disney Parks Blog and planDisney on Instagram for insider tips, tricks, and all the announcements of what's to come. You may not be able to make reservations yet, but you can start sketching out your itinerary and figuring out how to make this trip the one that makes all your dreams come true. We are always here for you, so please come back and see us with any questions you may have. We are always honored to have you as our Guest.

    Happy Planning,

    Ashley F.
