Hello, Denise! Thanks for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
While October 2021 will be here before we know it, you'll need to wait a little longer to book a
Walt Disney World Resort vacation package for the 50th anniversary. Typically, vacation packages are released in the summer (usually mid to late June) for the following year. This means Walt Disney World Resort room, dining and ticket packages for October 2021 should probably be available around June 2020.
If you just want to book a
Walt Disney World Resort hotel reservation, that can be done up to 499 days in advance. Simply call (407) W-DISNEY to speak with a Cast Member to book your reservation and make your deposit. Should you want to include airfare, a
Disney Dining Plan and/ or Theme Park tickets with your reservation, you'll need to wait a little longer.
There are a lot of awesome things Walt Disney World Resort has in store in the coming years including
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (set to open in late fall 2019), the new
"Guardians of the Galaxy"-inspired roller coaster at Epcot (opening in time for the 50th anniversary in 2021), and a
Tron coaster-style attraction at Magic Kingdom Park (also opening by October 2021). It's going to be an AMAZING celebration!
Please let us know if we can answer any more of your questions as you begin planning your awesome anniversary adventure.
