Hello, Kendyl, and welcome to planDisney! Oh, how thrilled I am to hear you have a visit to the Happiest Place on Earth in the works - and for January! My family loves Disneyland any time of year but especially in January, and
especially when the
Holidays are involved!
Thank you for your great question. You are definitely not the only one to be wishing upon a star for 2026 booking dates to open. Guests are currently able to book a
Disneyland Resort Hotel stay or vacation package through December 31, 2025. However, for those of us eager to
"Celebrate Happy" into the new year, the good news is we don't have to wait much longer. Based on previous years, we can expect dates for early 2026 to appear sometime in late August 2025 - which is so soon! Keep your eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for updates as this is usually the first place to share news about hotel booking windows and vacation packages. I also recommend checking in with the
Special Offers, Deals & Discounts page on the Disneyland website, which will provide you with the most current ways to maximize the magic!
Quick Tip: If you're wanting to zoom past those standby lines and utilize
Lightning Lane Multi Pass during your visit, Kendyl, I highly recommend including it with your park tickets at the time of purchase to lock in the lowest rate and ensure that you don't have to worry about purchasing Lightning Lane Multi Pass upon entering the parks. Hope that's helpful!
Although I wish I had more details for you, Kendyl, on when booking dates open for 2026, I'll keep my fingers crossed that, with a little pixie dust, the dreams that you wish will indeed come true.
Come
visit us again real soon!
Magic awaits,
McCayla
