    When can I start booking for 2026

    Hi there, Traci. Welcome to planDisney!

    I see you’re looking ahead and planning a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth in September 2026. As the vacation planner in my family, I’m always looking at hotel availability and hunting the best deals and offers. I can understand your desire to book a 2026 trip soon. After all, it’s nice to have something fun and magical to look forward to!

    Unfortunately, at this time, the three hotels at the Disneyland Resort are available for booking only through December 31, 2025. The exception is for those who are Disney Vacation Club members who have been able to book their stays in 2026 at The Villas at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and The Villas at The Disneyland Hotel

    Dates for 2026 reservations have not yet been released. However, in previous years, August seemed to be when booking reservations for the following year opened up. I anticipate we will hear the good news soon for Guests to start planning their 2026 vacation. My family and I are participating in the runDisney event at the end of January and we’re eagerly waiting to check out rates and room availability for our upcoming visit. 

    I recommend periodically checking the Disney Parks Blog or following the official Disneyland Resort account, @Disneyland, on social media for the latest news and updates. I really hope you’ll be able to book your Disneyland Resort hotel stay soon so you can begin to count down to your magical trip! If you have more questions for us, please don’t hesitate to stop by planDisney again.

    Sending you pixie dust,

Greetings! I have been fascinated by the magic of Disney since I was a little girl; now that I am a mother of two, I love watching my children experience Disney Parks through their own eyes. I am also surrounded by fellow Disney-loving nurse friends whom I enjoy quick adults-only Disneyland Resort escapes or Disney Cruise Line voyages with. Whether you are planning your once-in-a-lifetime family trip or a short adults-only getaway to the Happiest Place on Earth, I am here to help!
