Welcome to planDisney, Li Xian! There’s nothing quite like having a
Disneyland trip in the works, and I’m delighted to help you prepare for your magical adventure in 2026!
Planning ahead is always a great idea, especially for a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth. While
Disneyland Resort vacation packages and rates for 2026 typically become available around August of the prior year, a specific release date hasn’t been announced yet. These timelines can shift, so my best recommendation is to keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog. That’s where you’ll find the latest updates on 2026 vacation packages, along with exciting announcements about upcoming events, seasonal offerings, and even new experiences coming to the parks!
Another key part of planning your trip is securing your Disneyland Resort theme park tickets. Historically, tickets are available for purchase up to 180 days in advance, though this is subject to change. Since you’re planning to begin your adventure on May 11, 2026, a great time to start checking for ticket availability would be around November 12, 2025. You can always visit the
Theme Park Tickets page on the Disneyland website for the most up-to-date availability and pricing.
As you map out your magical itinerary, I’d also recommend considering
Lightning Lane Multi Pass. This time-saving option lets you bypass the standby queue and use the Lightning Lane entrance at select attractions, allowing you to experience more magic with less wait time. You can purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass for everyone in your group either ahead of time or on the day of your visit. Once you enter the park, simply open the
Disneyland app and begin booking return times for your must-do attractions. It’s that easy!
I personally love using Lightning Lanes, and the Multi Pass has been a total game-changer for my family and me. It helps us enjoy classic attractions like
Haunted Mansion and
Space Mountain without sacrificing time for a leisurely meal at
Carnation Café. Because a Disneyland day isn’t complete without a bowl of Walt’s chili!
Li Xian, I hope this information helps as you start planning your Disneyland adventure! If you have any other questions or would like more tips, please don’t hesitate to visit us again here at planDisney.
Wishing you a truly magical trip!
