    Can you please tell me what time of day will the tickets for the Glimmering greenhouses tour go on sale this year(2026)? Thank you

    Hi Clair, and thanks for bringing your question to planDisney. The Christmas season is my favorite time to visit Disney World, when everything is extra sparkly and festive! I was lucky enough to experience Behind the Seeds: Glimmering Greenhouses last year. It was absolutely magical being in the greenhouses at night with the twinkling lights and holiday music in the background. So let’s chat about how to snag a spot on this seasonal tour!

    Disney hasn’t announced yet when we can reserve a spot on Behind the Seeds: Glimmering Greenhouses. Last year, reservations opened on October 9th for all available dates within the 60-day mark. And after that, other dates followed the normal booking window. But the timing may change this year, and it looks like we’ll get information soon since the Behind the Seeds: Glimmering Greenhouses page says to check back this summer for updates. So keep an eye on that page and Disney Parks Blog, where you’ll find all the latest news and announcements. In the meantime, take a look at their recent Holidays at Disney World preview post to start getting excited! 

    Currently, U.K. guests aren’t able to book Enchanting Extras, like Behind the Seeds, through the Disney World website until they’re in the U.S. (and have access to the U.S. version of the website). However, some experiences, like Fireworks Cruises, can be booked through the Chat With Us feature in the My Disney Experience app or by calling on the phone, so you may want to give that a try. Especially since spots on this tour fill up quickly! If that’s not available, you can book Behind the Seeds on the Disney World website once you get to the U.S.

    I’m wishing you the best holiday ever during the most magical time of the year! And if you have any other questions, you’re always welcome back at planDisney.
