That’s such a great question, Sharlene! It’s never too soon to begin planning a birthday party! Especially when it’s for someone as iconic as Mickey Mouse!
Now, while Mickey and Minnie are still quite some time away from opening 2028 hotel reservations and ticket sales for the Walt Disney World Resort, you can definitely begin your initial planning!
I recommend starting a list of Walt Disney World Resort hotels that might be best for your 2028 visit. There are hotels for budget categories such as
value,
moderate, and
deluxe. You can “visit” all the hotels in the Disney Resorts Collection by going to the
Walt Disney World Resort website. Here you will find photos, amenities, dining options, entertainment, transportation options, and other resort highlights that might be important to your planning.
Next, think about the parks you would most like to visit. There are four theme parks at the Walt Disney World Resort –
Magic Kingdom Park,
EPCOT,
Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and
Disney’s Animal Kingdom. While details haven’t been released for Mickey’s birthday, we’ll likely see some form of celebration across Disney properties, so I would keep your park planning somewhat flexible at this point in your planning.
Finally, Sharlene, you might want to consider the time of year that is best for you to visit. One thing we know about our Disney pals is that they like extended parties! My best guess is that Mickey’s big birthday will be celebrated throughout the year in 2028, but keep in mind that Mickey’s birthday is in November. So, if there is a more limited celebration, it could take place in the fall.
Sharlene, we’ve done a lot of fun speculating in answering your question. I recommend keeping a close eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for more details about Mickey’s birthday and 2028 hotel reservations.
Dreams do come true!
