Hi there, Nicole. Welcome to planDisney!
Woo, hoo, hoo, hoooo! Like the lovable Tigger, you are ready to bounce into your planning for a magical trip in 2026!
At this time, release dates for 2026 vacations have not been announced.....YET! While I wish I knew the date for this news, it doesn't mean this answer is like a little black rain cloud. I do have some good news! I did a little research for us and discovered that historically, these dates have been announced between February and June over the past few years. This means that a big announcement should be coming soon! I expect you'll first hear these release dates on the
Disney Parks Blog, so keep an eye out for the most up-to-date announcement. I'm waiting with excitement with you!
April and August sound like great times to visit. April has some absolutely beautiful weather. I actually just returned and so enjoyed the spring vibe at the
Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival and the Easter displays. While August can be hot, it just means more pool time after the summer rush!
Nicole, while you wait for those dates to be released, now is a great time to finalize your itinerary. Check out which
Resort hotel you are interested in, learn the "ins and outs" of the
Lightning Lane Pass system, and really get to know your
My Disney Experience app. While you wait, the planning can be just as fun!
Once you make your reservations, please stop by planDisney anytime as you navigate your way to planning your fantastic adventure. We are here to add a bit of pixie-dusted help whenever you need it.
Enjoy the magic!
