Hiya Peyton!
Welcome to planDisney, fellow planner! I am so glad you stopped by to ask us this magical question, as I think you may have found your niche here at planDisney. While I do love last-minute updates or plans in my itinerary, planning everything in advance is just so much more worry-free!
Unfortunately, most bookings have a specific timeframe for when they become available. For example,
Resort hotel reservations are currently only available until December 2023, and the latest checkout date available is January 30th, 2024 (at the time that I am writing this). Otherwise, Resort hotel reservations are typically available 499 days in advance. Regarding
dining reservations and Enchanting Extras, these can only be made 60 days in advance. On the other hand,
theme park tickets can currently be purchased for up to December 2023 at the latest.
Now, this does not mean you cannot start planning your magical vacation! After creating a My Disney Experience account, you can go into the "My Plans" section under the
My Disney Experience tab and click on the blue "Add More Plans" section. Then, you can add notes or learn more about the currently available offerings. That way, you can slowly build your ideal trip itinerary without making a single reservation! In addition, I would highly recommend you look through the Walt Disney World website's
Help Center and
Frequently Asked Questions sections and keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog. The Walt Disney World website is great for learning how to plan your vacation, while the Disney Parks Blog publishes all the newest information about theme park offerings. Indeed, Walt Disney himself said that the theme parks would never be completed, so a lot of things can change in five years!
I hope this was helpful, Peyton, and that your next Walt Disney World vacation will be everything you have ever dreamed of. If you have any other questions during your planning process, please don't hesitate to reach back out. We are always happy to provide recommendations, personal experiences and must-dos for your itinerary!
Have a magical day,
Ariane
