Hi there, Kathy - from another Kathy!
Thanks for stopping by with your great question today. It's never too early to start planning your next Walt Disney World vacation, and believe me, that's what we Disney Moms live for!
Many families look forward to ordering their free Disney Vacation Planning video every year. It's a sure-fire way to build anticipation for that upcoming trip. I haven't seen any information for a new video release for 2016, so keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog and the Walt Disney World website. I believe there is often news in December when a new video is to be released.
As the ghouls and goblins from Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party have gone back into hiding for another year, I'm sure next year's plans are already on the drawing board. You'll usually see an announcement with dates for the next party sometime in May. Again, start checking the Disney Parks Blog in the spring for news about the party for 2016.
I hope this helps in your planning, Kathy. Be sure to come see us again if you have any more questions!
Keep Disney Dreaming,
Kathy K.
