Hello there, Shane, and welcome to planDisney!
I'm really excited to hear that you're planning a trip to the Disneyland Resort next summer! I have so many childhood memories of visiting the Happiest Place on Earth each summer that I've developed a lifelong love for Walt's original Park. It's a great time to visit because the Parks will be operating at their summer Hours and you'll be able to enjoy a full day at the Theme Parks.
Disney will generally release reservations for the next calendar year around the latter half of August, which is what occurred last year. So I don't think you'll have long to wait before you'll be able to view some
Disneyland Resort Vacation Packages. Keep your eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for updates and announcements regarding next year's reservations.
Do you have an idea about where you would like to stay? You can't go wrong with any of the three official Disneyland Resort Hotels!
Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel is currently undergoing a transformation into the
Pixar Pier Hotel and the retheme will hopefully be complete by next summer. Then there's my favorite, the
Disneyland Hotel! I'm a huge fan of Disneyland history and nostalgia, so I love how this Hotel pays homage to Disneyland's past. The most elegant would be
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, a luxury Hotel dedicated to Craftsman style architecture with its California inspired themes and design.
I hope that this was helpful for you, Shane, and that you have fun planning your trip! If there is anything else we can do for you, do not hesitate to reach out to us again. You're always welcome at planDisney!
Have a Magical Day!
