    when should we purchase park tickets for a trip in April 2026?

    Welcome to planDisney, Brian! 

    We’re happy you came to visit us! I’m so glad you’re already planning for your 2026 vacation. I echo what my friend, Edna Mode, says, “Luck favors the prepared, darling.” You are definitely going to have a fortunate trip since you’re already dedicated to its preparation! 

    Since tickets are available for much of 2026 (as of writing this tickets are available to purchase up to October 2026), Brian, it is advisable to purchase your Disney World theme park tickets as soon as you are ready to purchase them. If you’re ready to get those tickets now, my motto is, “The sooner, the better!” 

    Since you’re planning so far ahead, I recommend diligently watching the Special Offers, Deals & Discounts page as you may be able to save some money for your trip. It’s always a good idea to make sure you’re making the most out of your money for your vacation! 

    If you have additional questions before your arrival, Brian, we hope you’ll visit us again at planDisney! And, before I go, I recommend watching the Disney Parks Blog too — especially as you near your trip. 

    See ya real soon,
    Allyn

Meet the Panelist: Allyn, Florida

Hello! I am Allyn, your personal planDisney companion! I’ve enjoyed most of my life in the heart of Wyoming but am currently living my fairy tale as a wife, mom, yoga instructor, and fine jewelry designer in central Florida! When I’m not galavanting around the Disney theme parks, you’ll probably find me reading a good book, outside playing with my family, or learning to do something new. I truly believe that dreams come true, and I look forward to sharing that magic with you!
