Hey there, Kimberly!
Welcome to planDisney and I'm so happy that you'll be taking your family to the Disneyland Resort next year! My friend and fellow panelist
Greg L also makes the trek from Arizona, so I understand the need to budget appropriately.
Historically, Disney has released
Disneyland Resort Vacation Packages and hotel reservations for the next calendar year around the latter half of August, so hopefully you won't have too long to wait before being able to price them out. While Disney has not yet made any official announcements on this subject, I would recommend following the
Disney Parks Blog to stay up to date on the latest news. Whenever they are released, I'm sure that Disney will allow you plenty of time for planning. Park reservations are generally released on a rolling basis 120 days in advance and that date is quickly approaching for next year, so we should hopefully hear something soon.
Have you considered which hotel to choose? We have some exciting things to look forward to! The Paradise Pier Hotel will continue its transformation into the
Pixar Pier Hotel, so look for new offerings at that property. My favorite has always been the original
Disneyland Hotel, but you can't beat the elegance and architecture of
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. No matter which you choose, you can't go wrong!
Kimberly, I hope that this was helpful for you and that you have fun planning your vacation! If there is anything else that we can do for you, please visit us again anytime! You're always welcome at planDisney!
Wishing You a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!
