Thank you for visiting us at planDisney, Sarai! I love your question because it means a magical time at the Disneyland Resort is in the works and I'm thrilled to help.
It sounds like you might be interested in booking a
Disneyland Vacation Package. You can absolutely book your vacation package right now for your dates in the summer. While there isn't a payment plan available, you are only required to make a $200 deposit at the time of booking. The balance will then be due 30 days prior to your arrival. Although you'll be able to book your vacation package, you won't quite be able to make your theme park reservations. Theme park reservations can be made up to 120 days in advance. My recommendation is to link your vacation package to your Disney account and when you reach the 120-day mark,
make your park reservations. Four days prior to your arrival, your park tickets will be sent to you via email.
There are some wonderful benefits that come with staying at a Disneyland Resort Hotel, like early park entry. You will also get an exclusive Walt Disney Travel Company lanyard and pin for all Guests aged 3 and over on your
vacation package reservation as an added benefit.
Summer is a wonderful time to visit the resort and this particular year is even better. The
Disney100 Celebration is already in full swing and you'll get to experience the park decorated in its platinum and purple best! The new attraction,
Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway is also open and a must-do! I recently had the opportunity to experience this ride and it is so much fun and absolutely adorable! I have a feeling you will enjoy it too.
Sarai, I hope this helps with your question and your planning. If not, please come back to planDisney to ask any other questions that you may have. I wish you all the magic as you plan your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth!
Have a magical day!
Michelle
