Hi Margaret! Thanks so much for reaching out to us again at planDisney. It feels like the perfect moment to start dreaming again and let your next adventure shine a little brighter. So let's get to it!
Currently, vacation packages for the
Walt Disney World Resort are available through December 2026. Historically, bookings for the following year are released in the spring of the prior year, although the exact timing can vary. Typically, the first ten months of the year become available in the spring, with the final two months released later. Be sure to follow along with the
Disney Parks Blog for the official announcement so you can book as soon as the dates open. It shouldn't be long now!
Until those 2027 dates are released, just know that the magic is already calling. There are plenty of things you can start talking about with your travel party right now. What restaurants do you want to prioritize on the trip?
The Garden View Lounge at
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is reopening after a long closure, so maybe some fancy tea service will be in order when you visit. How about
Level99 in Disney Springs, where you'll be able to play games and eat? It's projected to open sometime in 2026. You've also got two great new lounges to experience: the
Pirates of the Caribbean-themed
Beak and Barrel in
Magic Kingdom Park and
GEO-82 in
EPCOT, which is themed to the iconic
Spaceship Earth.
And then, what new attractions are you most excited for?
Frozen Ever After recently reopened after updating some of its Audio-Animatronics. We also have a few other new experiences projected to open in 2026 that should be open by the time you visit. We've got reimagined
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad,
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster featuring The Muppets, and
the Mandalorian and Grogu joining Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. Of course, these are just some of the openings we know about right now. And you just never know what the
Walt Disney Imagineers have up their sleeves that they haven't even told us yet. That’s the beauty of Disney. There’s always something new glowing just around the corner.
Margaret, get ready for a wonderful 2027 trip. I can't think of a better way to start the new year than jumping into a Disney World vacation! If you have any other questions,
please don't hesitate to reach out.
Here’s to a trip that shines just a little brighter than you imagined,
Matt
