    I’ve been watching to book a vacation package for December 2026. When will those dates be available to reserve?

    Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Cathy!

    Welcome to planDisney! I am so glad you stopped by because it is never too early to start dreaming about your next Disney World vacation! One of the best parts of planning ahead is knowing that all the little details you think through now will come together to make your trip feel seamless once you arrive. When the time comes, you’ll be stepping into a place where AH-mazing lights, festive music, and joyful memories are waiting around every corner.

    You ask a very popular question! As you know, reservations are currently open for arrivals through October 2026. The holiday dates beyond that are still waiting for their big reveal, but don’t worry. When Mickey is ready to unwrap that gift, the news will sparkle across the Disney Parks Blog first! That’s the place where the latest and most enchanting updates are shared, so keep an eye there to be among the first to know when those festive dates twinkle onto the calendar.

    Because the Christmas season is such a popular time to visit, being ready to book as soon as reservations open will give you the best choices for both resorts and dining. And here’s something encouraging—if a special offer or promotion is released after you’ve booked, you can often have it applied to your reservation.  The awesome thing is that booking early really does work in your favor. For now, I’d recommend making a list of the places you most want to stay, eat, and experience, so when those dates do become available, you’ll be ready to make your Christmas dreams a reality.

    If you have other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help in any way we can!

    Have a MAGICAL day!
