Ann,
Thanks for asking your question to planDisney!
While Disney has not yet released dates in 2023 for package reservations for you to see on the website, you can make a resort hotel room-only reservation for up to 499 days out. So as of the time of this answer you can book resort hotel rooms through most of September 2023. That means that you can book your hotel for a February 2023 stay right now! This would help you secure your preferred vacation destination hotel. However, to do so you would have to call Disney directly at
407.939.1936.
I find picking the resort hotel to be the most fun part of the vacation planning! I get to plan around the resort amenities, from the theme, the dining options, and the in-resort entertainment. If you don't know which resort hotel to pick, start by looking at the
planDisney Pocket Guides to the resorts. These overviews can help you narrow your search down with information on transportation options, dining, and resort amenities.
By the way, while the Walt Disney World site currently lists vacation packages for travel dates through the end of 2022, they likely will release package vacation options for dates in 2023 sometime soon. While there is no official date for when Disney releases reservation packages for the following year, in the past they have done so in the late May/early June time frame. That is when you would be able to see package prices for 2023 on the website.
Also good to know is that if you book a room-only reservation now, as those packages are released for 2023 you should be able to apply most (but not necessarily all) to that initial resort hotel reservation. You can find
Special Offers listed on the website, but I also recommend regularly checking the
Disney Parks Blog, as they will often be the first place to announce any special programs.
Write me back if you have any other questions.
Have a Magical Vacation!
Doug
